Hi again,
Is the program (DDUtil) a complicated program to set up.  I am not by any means 
a computer whiz.  I do not dare to download at this time.  Could I mess up the 
SDR program.
Thanks Bill

Re: [Flexradio] contrtol

[Robert Logan]

I don't have or use the RCU.  I simply run my audio at 80 to 100 from my 1500 
to my amplified speakers and use the volume control on them to control the 
level of audio.  The setting depends on the band background noise.

My speakers have a headphone jack so I can also plug in my headphones when I 
want.  No problems.

The AGC-T setting mitigates the difference in weak vs strong signals to a large 
extent.  Experiment with it.  Lots of guys run AGC-T way too high, I think.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 or 5000 Remote operation assistance

[David Movius]

Mathew,

In run Flex 5000 via remote using TeamViewer and Skype for the audio link.
Steve's description is essentially the same setup I use and it works
extremely well.  I had to fiddle with some of the audio anomalies Steve
mentioned.  One set of settings in each Skype account
(Skype>Tools>Options>Audio Settings) was to check the "Auto adjust
Microphone" and "Auto Adjust Speaker..." boxes.  Others may custom set these
levels, but it seemed to smooth things out for me when those boxes were
checked.

I have looked at RemAud (as mentioned by Steve), but the setup is bit over
my head at this time.  With Skype working, I will stick with it for the time
being.

Good luck.  Remote operation with the Flex is lots of fun.

Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 or 5000 Remote operation assistance

Mathew-- using Skype for the audio portion of remote operations is pretty
easy. Think of it this way-- you treat the Flex as if it is another person
(account) to Skype, and PowerSDR as the speaker and microphone instead of
the host computer's speaker and microphone.

a.  As in all remote audio solutions, you will need "virtual audio cables",
software that connects the audio in and out of the Flex to Skype. This link
http://kc.flexradio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50230.aspx
talks about the 3rd party software most of us use, although this software is
now in version 12 I think and the article talks about version 4. The article
is still relevant. Note: there is a "trial" 
version-- don't use this as it will overlay advertising audio on your
transmitted signal! Note 2: you will need this virtual audio cable software
to interface with any of the digital-mode programs as well.

b. Load Skype software onto your host Flex computer and create a separate
skype account for your Flex.  I use my call (WA7DUH-Flex). Set up Skype so
it starts with the computer startup (tools>>Options>>General). Also so Skype
will only answer those that are in it's contact list and automatically
answers when called (tools>>Options>>Privacy). Go ahead and hook Skype on
your host to your computer speaker and microphone temporarily, establish you
normal Skype account in this new account contact list, etc. That is-- make
sure Skype is fully working person to person and automatically answering,
etc. 
before attaching audio to the Flex.

c. With PowerSDR running-- On the Flex host computer's Skype, go to the
audio settings (tools>>Options>>General>>Audio). Change Skype's audio input
from the computer microphone to "Audio Out" or whatever you named the audio
out channel as discussed in the Knowledgebase article. Change Skype's audio
out from the computer speaker to "Audio In" or whatever you named the audio
input channel as discussed in the Knowledgebase article.

d. In PowerSDR VAC audio setup (Setup>>audio>>VAC) make sure PowerSDR is
also attached to the appropriate virtual audio cable channels, and set the
audio out to about -20db and the audio in to about -6db. Also on this audio
setup page, I set "Allow PTT to override/bypass VAC for phone" and "Auto
Enable" must be off.

Call your Flex Skype account from your remote computer(s). You should have
audio remote.  Adjust audio levels in PowerSDR (Setup>>Audio>>VAC) from the
starting levels recommended in d. above to suit your particular
configuration. You can also manipulate the audio a bit within the Skype
remote computer.

IMPORTANT CAVEAT-- using Skype for the remote audio has some funky results.
Skype has very complex algorithms to cancel echo and background noise. It
reacts poorly to normal HF static, trying to cancel it etc. 
This results in audio level pumping and such. I have Skype always attached
to my PowerSDR as a backup/alternate and for my friends to listen, but I
have moved to RemAUD. But I used Skype exclusively for 3 years, and the
setup is much easier. RemAUD requires router forwarding setups, firewall
setups, etc. to get to work, but is designed specifically for remote
communications audio.

Good luck-- I probably missed some important steps so if you get stuck come
back to the list for help.

I have the 5K and also I am having trouble making some settings as some others 
had also mentioned I do not know what some of the settings do nor what to do to 
make corrections.  Like one problem I have now is on receive when I have one 
station audio set correct and a very big station comes in there it way over 
drives the rig.  How do I average this out?

Re: [Flexradio] What

[Lee Mushel]

Jay,

Your analysis is probably correct but if it will make you feel any better I 
once commented on 40 meters that I used my V/U  upgrade along with an 
Elecraft XV144 to watch both the input and output of repeaters.   I thought 
that was a perfectly normal thing to do but you have no idea how much abuse 
came down on my head because I actually used equipment like that to listen 
to a repeater!   The only time things were worse was when I had admitted, 
one day, that I had owned my flex radio for some time but didn't feel I had 
come anywhere near to "mastering" it!   Wow!   Those fellows even included 
my mother in what was then dumped on me!
