Re: [Flexradio] NR Settings

2013-04-21 Thread Lee Mushel


I just had a very strange thought.   Do you suppose that if there was one 
"optimum" setting for all the processing controls it would still be 
necessary to have the full console graphic user interface?   I would think 
we could do away with all of that adjustment business and just tune 
frequency and mode to our hearts content!


I must be wasting a lot of time changing control values trying to,  and 
often successfully at that,  optimize signals under different circumstances.

Re: [Flexradio] NR Settings

2013-04-21 Thread W8BYA
Hi there Terry.  Thank you very much for jumping in on this topic.  So far I am 
with you in every way.  I have been given several different opinions on values 
to use and will try them out soon.  ref the external DSP unit, I was kind of 
hoping that the Flex would be able to perform any kind of DSP needed to 
accomplish the required NR.  But, in all fairness, even my ole FT-1000 MP NR 
really stinks. I have yet to find one time where I thought it made the signal 
easier to copy, IMO.  TU agn es 73.

Oh, CU on 2m SSB hi-hi

  Hi Gedas

  I have tried just about every combination of the NR parameters and have only 
succeeded in creating a more distorted and basically unlistenable sound.  
Reducing AGC-T is much more effective in reducing noise, but you also lose some 
sensitivity.  With all the other sophisticated capabilities of the PowerSDR 
software, the NR is surely one of the more disappointing features.  With the 
signal in the digital domain the software should be capable of much better 
noise reduction than is presently available.  

  I have had much better luck with post rig processing, using a BHI Neim1031 
Mark II processor.  These units are made in the UK.  
http://www.bhi-ltd.com/index.php/products/noise-cancellation-products/noise-cancelling-in-line-modules/neim1031-mkii.html?view=item&layout=item
   This unit connects to the audio output of the Flex and is very successful in 
reducing background noise.  It has 8 stepwise levels of noise reduction and a 
built in amplifier that is very effective.  This same unit is available in the 
US through GAP Antennas and known as "Hear It"   
http://www.gapantenna.com/hearit_inline.htm  This is the same unit as the BHI 
but with the controls oriented horizontally rather than vertically.  It is a 
very effective unit especially for weak signal work.

[Flexradio] Visalia DX Conference - Youtube Video - Flex 6700 in Action

2013-04-21 Thread Dr. Howard S. White
I have posted a video of the Visalia DX Convention with the First Public 
Demonstration of the Flex 6700

http://youtu.be/vLXjL6hoIYg

Not too much about the Convention but mostly the radio in operation...

The Flex 6700 radio was definitely working but clearly it was a beta test unit.

I did manage to crash the software at least once and many features are yet to 
be fully operational.

For the uninitiated... the radio software is now a simple browse that does NOT 
need a major computer system
All the processing is now done inside the radio with its own computer power...
it should even ultimately be able to run on your iPad or other simple device...

Interestingly it was interfaced directly to N1MM Contest Logger, a SteppIR 
DB-18 and an Alpha 9500 so it clearly was set up for contesting.
While I am not the contest Ultra Maven... I personally found the clean simple 
interface much more intuitive for contesting than my Flex 5000
as you really never need to have your hands leave the logger keyboard.  I can 
see where the Flex will finally be more than competitive, if not excel the K3 
for contests.

In spite of the limitations of the beta test software, the receiver performance 
was astounding.
It appeared that the radio was hearing down to -142dBm (or about S0 - 15db or 
almost 2 ½ S Units below S0)
BUT what was more astounding was that they introduced DSP gain into the system 
so that it could hear down to -149 dBm or about the phase noise levels.  I am 
not sure how to measure down to those levels as the thermal noise in my test 
equipment is higher than that. (The figures are un-calibrated- we will see what 
Sherwood says)

Adjacent Channel rejection appeared be out of the worldyou could totally 
block an S9+40db signal 100Hz away.
This would be especially important in multi-stations  AND you do not Need 
to use any Roofing Filters

Of course it was really cool to be able to listen to several slices of the band 
at the same time and easily jump from band to band without losing any 
information.
They had 4 spectral operational but could only receive on 2 slices... (It will 
be 8 slices in the final model)


Real World Performance...
Several times we had Armchair copy in QSO's with Hams who had could barely copy 
our signals due to their poor antennas and outdated equipment
We definitely could easily copy the very weak DX Stations...

Although I am not a CW Operator .. The CW ops I talked to said it was full QSK 
with no delays whatsoever...


Delivery
Flex said they hoped to ship production units within 30 days (maybe by Dayton 
anyone?) however I am skeptical that they can get everything 100% by then as 
clearly there is still a lot of software to get right.   I suspect that in 
order to meet that tight schedule, they will ship the first units with a 
reduced feature set. The good thing about a SDR is that you can easily 
upgrade in a matter of seconds.

Bottom Line:
When I read the specs and placed my order at Dayton 2012, I knew that this was 
going to be the radio that will set the bar for the next standard in Ham Radio

However, I was personally astounded by the performance which even in Beta far 
exceeded my expectations.

Re: [Flexradio] NR Settings

2013-04-21 Thread Terry Maurice

Hi Bob

I tried the settings you suggested but the sound was very distorted.  Is 
there some other setting that I should be using in conjunction with your 
suggested settings?

Re: [Flexradio] NR Settings

2013-04-21 Thread Terry Maurice

Hi Gedas

I have tried just about every combination of the NR parameters and have 
only succeeded in creating a more distorted and basically unlistenable 
sound.  Reducing AGC-T is much more effective in reducing noise, but you 
also lose some sensitivity.  With all the other sophisticated 
capabilities of the PowerSDR software, the NR is surely one of the more 
disappointing features.  With the signal in the digital domain the 
software should be capable of much better noise reduction than is 
presently available.


I have had much better luck with post rig processing, using a BHI 
Neim1031 Mark II processor.  These units are made in the UK. 
http://www.bhi-ltd.com/index.php/products/noise-cancellation-products/noise-cancelling-in-line-modules/neim1031-mkii.html?view=item&layout=item 
  This unit connects to the audio output of the Flex and is very 
successful in reducing background noise.  It has 8 stepwise levels of 
noise reduction and a built in amplifier that is very effective. This 
same unit is available in the US through GAP Antennas and known as "Hear 
It"   http://www.gapantenna.com/hearit_inline.htm  This is the same unit 
as the BHI but with the controls oriented horizontally rather than 
vertically.  It is a very effective unit especially for weak signal work.

Re: [Flexradio] FLEX-6700 to be used for the N6V Special Event Station

2013-04-21 Thread Bob McGwier
The best receiver I've ever sat down in front of is my opinion.  I hear signals 
I can't hear with others I have or hear much more clearly. I don't have lab 
equipment that can measure it so this can only be anecdotal.
