Re: [Flexradio] No Broadcast band?

2013-05-06 Thread David Land 
More info, should have mentioned, this is a F3K so no antenna selection to
worry about. I've been messing with it more this afternoon. I discovered
that if I turn the preamp to 'attn' it starts to work! Then back to 'off'
and they are still there! Shutdown PSDR and start it back up, same issue,
no receive on most of the AM band until I turn the 'attn' on and back
'off'.
I don't know if this is related but with the preamp 'off' I have a noise
level of -112 dBm (S3), with the 'attn' ON I have a noise level of -95 dBm
(S5+)? Shouldn't the noise level be LOWER with the attenuator ON?
At least I can hear AM Broadcast now but must always do the attn/off
routine each time I re-start PSDR.

Patrick,

There is one other thing that you can try that we have found to work 
on i7 PCs, but I would not try it until you know if the new cable is 
going to help.


There is a PCIe bus timing problem we have discovered with some i7 
PCs.  We have found that plugging the PCIe 1x Firewire card into an 
empty 8x or 16x slot, can resolve connectivity and intermittent 
problems.  We are not sure what causes this. It may be overclocking 
that the BIOS does by default or something else.


The Firewire connectors and how they fit are beyond ourcontrol.  They 
are to specification as per the IEEE.  Becausethey are recessed 
connectors, I do not think there is a connectivity issue at play here.

Not a failing of Flex but I am less than happy with the wishy  washy

I wish it had a thumbscrew or wire bail or something to secure it

Re: [Flexradio] DPC 2.6.4 VS 2.3.5 V ?

2013-05-06 Thread Patrick Greenlee 
I just replaced the original provided firewire cable with a new one from 
Flex (transferring the ferrites) and it restored operation to my radio which 
got very unstable after loading in the latest S/W release. Dudley guided me 
through installing the "legacy" firewire driver.


It was explained to me that the prev S/W used an interrupt driven firewire 
data transfer protocol and the new release runs full 400 data rate both ways 
streaming all the time. This places a heavier demand on the firewire card, 
cable, and driver. HE instructed mem to go with the "legacy" driver, new 
cable he had sent, and to be sure I had a good approved firewire card.  I 
have a TI chipset capable of streaming both ways at 800 data rate.  So with 
new driver, a good card, and now a good cable I am back up and running for 
about an hour and a half with no crashing.

Jim, I'm not a guru but in the info Flex has is instructions on how to keep 
the i7 from putting some of the cores to sleep when not tasked.  Putting 
"unused" cores to sleep saves power (Energy Star consideration) but has 
overhead/latency in going that route.  The info tells you how to setup so 
they all stay awake.

That made my day, thanks.

I should have asked what the specific potential issues were with the i7. 
Dudley mentioned a couple that I can check into. I ask because I have a 
5000A running with an i7, as well as several pro-audio workstations with 
various models of that processor.  If there are bonafide issues with them or 
the associated chipsets then I would like to know what they are.

Re: [Flexradio] Temp display short cut?

2013-05-06 Thread Patrick Greenlee 
Tim, Yes it is an i7 AND I have gone through the recommended sleep 
deprivation therapy advised by the home team at flex.  I also just moments 
ago plugged in the new firewire cable Dudley had mailed out to me and 
transferred the snap-open/closed ferrites to the new one at the computer end 
as instructed.


Radio is working so all I can do now is observe the MTBF with the new cable. 
As instructed by Dudley I have installed the "legacy" driver.  I think that 
until or unless there is further malfunction we are in a wait and see 
monitoring mode.


If there is anything else regarding i7 besides the sleep issue please tell 
me what to do.
Thanks for jumping in, you guys are as good as it gets in customer service 
without being a close blood relative.


Not a failing of Flex but I am less than happy with the wishy  washy seating 
of the firewire connector at the radio and the computer end. I wish it had a 
thumbscrew or wire bail or something to secure it better to the computer and 
the radio. It needs a more positive retention system.  Maybe I should get 
some of those peel-off adhesive pads that accept snap ties and put one on 
either side of the IEEE 1394 sockets and use a plastic wire tie or little 
bread wrapper twisty to hold the connector a bit more positively. Perhaps I 
obsess too much.  Of late I have had a couple folks compare me to a 
character on the TV series "The Big Bang Theory." The shoe may not be 
exactly my size but it isn't that bad of a fit.

Patrick AF5CK

Re: [Flexradio] F3K Temperature when running QRP?

2013-05-06 Thread Mike 
Hi Tim,

Stripped the F3K down, both fans working as designed.
With the case off the temp only reaches around 51c but as soon as I put
the case back on it goes back up to 60c+ ...

I've checked for dust build up etc and have blown out the cooling area
under the main circuit board, all seems clear and plenty of air flow.

I've raised the F3K up so that it is further from the ATU below it to
see if some extra airflow around it will help at all as I noticed the
bottom of the F3K does get rather warm when in use.

Running at 5w what would be a normal temp range?

Mike.

Re: [Flexradio] Temp display short cut?

2013-05-06 Thread Jim Barber 
:-)

That made my day, thanks.

I should have asked what the specific potential issues were with the i7. Dudley 
mentioned a couple that I can check into. I ask because I have a 5000A running 
with an i7, as well as several pro-audio workstations with various models of 
that processor.  If there are bonafide issues with them or the associated 
chipsets then I would like to know what they are.

Subject: [Flexradio] No Broadcast band?


Just upgraded to v2.6.4 a week or so ago, tuned down to the AM Broadcast
band for the first time today. I'm not getting much there on AM or any
other mode. I get a weak signal on 1460, 1520, and 1590 but NO other
signals. I live near Houston and I know in the past I was picking up AM
stations all over the band.
Preamp is off, AGC-T is at 75. What am I missing?
Normal signals from 1.8 to 2.0 MHz but almost nothing on either side of
that.
Thanks & 73, Dave

In the manner of our late great prez RMN, "Let me make one thing 
perfectly clear!" This post is NOT a vote of no confidence for Dudley 
who is a Flex Wizard.  I'm just querying the brain trust just in case 
someone may have useful input. This august group has a lot of grey 
matter in fine working order and may think of something overlooked.


I have an F5K which has been working really swell for months with no 
problems encountered loading new S/W releases.  I'm not doing anything 
fancy, just SSB using only one of the RCVRs. I upgraded to the latest 
S/W and then... Everything works fine again except PSDR crashes at 
random but frequent intervals.  Sometimes throwing an error window 
about an external device raising an exception and sometimes not.  
Sometimes cycling the on/off on-screen switch restores operation till 
another crash and sometimes that just causes the exception error to 
display.  Rebooting the computer and or just restarting PSDR seems to 
have the same result making no difference.


By telephone Dudley professionally guided me through installing the 
"legacy" 1394 driver and confirmed that I have a good TI chipset.  It 
is capable of bidirectional streaming at the 800 data rate whereas the 
F5K is now streaming both ways full time at 400 data rate vice the 
previous S/W release using interrupt driven service for the 1394 data. 
Dudley told me this new demand on the firewire interface is even more 
demanding of a "good" cable and the driver.  So, Dudley is having a 
new cable mailed to me to arrive real soon now.


Yesterday the MTBF for crashing was on the order of a couple hours 
whereas before Dudley's intervention it was on the order of a couple 
minutes.  This afternoon things took a turn for the worse. Invoking 
PSDR and clicking on [Start] in Panafall display mode gives a uniform 
Pink waterfall that moves down ward at the normal rate filling the 
entire space with a nice restful pink. There is no audio. Repetitively 
clicking the [Start/Stop] on-screen button doesn't elicit different 
behavior.


Suggestions?
