Re: [Flexradio] HRD Logbook Radio Pane display for Flex 5000 - two receivers.

Keith,

I think that you need to go back to HRD on how they handle two separate 
receivers.

Re: [Flexradio] WHAT DOES THE TAB IN THE HEADER ..... HEROS FOR?

2014-04-06 Thread Graham Haddock
Dale:

That is for control of a "HEROS" brand preselector.

http://herostechnology.co.uk/pages/products.html

Some of our European customers wanted to have additional front end
selectivity,
probably because of nearby shortwave broadcast stations.

Not commonly seen in the U.S.

Re: [Flexradio] CW jack input on the Flex 5000

Lee

What issues are you having with keying the 3k or 5k with K1EL keyer?  
There is a setting in PSDR that allows you to use a 2-connector plug so 
you you don't have to wire up a3-connector plug.

[Flexradio] HRD Logbook Radio Pane display for Flex 5000 - two receivers.

2014-04-06 Thread Keith Goobie
Good day all ­ looking for observations and guidance.

Scaenario - Have a Flex5000a two receivers + DDUtil (latest) and PowerSDR
2.7.2

Connected to HRD 6.1.x ­ connectivity is through the HRD HRD Apps interface
on port 7809 ­ HRD Rig Control is not running.

When I have Logbook up and displaying the radio pane, I see the main and sub
frequencies displayed, but I am seeing what appears to a greyed out set of
drop down menus ­ In DM780 it displays only the Main receiver.

Is the behaviour of the radio panel in Logbook ³normal².  I am assuming it
is getting the info for both the main and sub vfo¹s and chooses to display
neither when it comes to things like band / dsp / mode.  Is there a way to
force selection (and display) of the six drop down menu items?

Thanks in advance,
Keith / VA3YC

Re: [Flexradio] CW jack input on the Flex 5000

2014-04-06 Thread Lee Mushel
No, I'm not cheating.   I do have a Begali straight key but I got a K1EL for 
use with the 600 meter experiment when I was preparing to set up a beacon. 
Naturally the K1EL wouldn't key either 3000 or 5000 without a mod but that 
may vary with age of the Flex radio.   Still, simple examination of the 
keyer circuits and the radio isn't too difficult.  I would think that any 
keyer could be compatible.   But you have to remember that some knowledge 
and work might be needed.

I think they are referring to an external KEY (ex. Bencher), not external 
keyer. If you are using an external paddle key, it goes to the tip, sleeve 
and ring. Straight key, Vibraplex, or external electronic keyer just uses 
tip and sleeve. Gotta fix the settings in Setup for straight key.


I use an external keyer, not the Flex internal iambic keyer, so I just 
hook output of keyer to the tip and sleeve (I think). Writing this from 
memory (I should check to be sure for you).


I haven't liked any of my rig's internal keyers (Kenwood, Icom, Flex) as 
you had to fiddle to much to change speed and such. My trusty HamGadgets 
keyer fits perfect under the video monitor screen, big knob right there 
when I need to slow down or speed up. Using the Flex internal keyer, gotta 
grab the mouse, point click, point click, point click just to slow down 
for a guy. Give me carpal tunnel . all that ...   The Icom, keyer 
speed was down like 3 button menu pushes, hold this for 2 seconds, but not 
1 or 4 seconds, then click this other thing, twist a knob through menus 



Don't want a knob for anything else though. Just give me a good mouse and 
keyboard and my Flex.

Guys,

I don’t understand why Flex 5000 manual says that, when t using an 
external keyer, the “ring” connection of the stereo quarter inch plug is 
used, as well as the “tip” and the “sleeve.,” while for a straight key 
the “ring" is not connected.  Don’t all external keyers just have two 
conductor outputs, mimicking a straight key?


And, I assume when using an external keyed, “iambic” is NOT checked.

Can someone explain the cabling from an external keyed to the Flex 5000, 
and why it is so?


Thanks,

Dave
