Hi all Got something that has been plaguing me for a few weeks. If I TX on 15m at about 50W all is well. If I TX on 20m even on QRP then the PSDR freezes up and I have always needed to reboot, which is extremely annoying. I was using PSDR 1.18.6 uptil earlier today, and deciced I'd take a look at PSDR v2.0.16, which is now installed. (no hotfix as when i received it from Microsoft by email and tried to isnatll it it said access denied, so I guess the hotfix doesn't find the issue it is meant to fix). I run WinXP SP3 on a Dell Latitude D630, which gave me a Performance rating of 501, so it's passable but not brilliant. So I was having a play on BPSK63 to test out the radio issue on 20m and lo and behold I noted my issue.

Re: [Flexradio] Is it worth the trouble??
Hi Harold The Flex series of radios is very much a work in progress, it continually evolves and improves. IMHO it is the absolute best system available - remember that all the flex users have very different computer setups, and most of the lockup problems are due to the computer hardware/software setup rather than the Flex Hardware.

Re: [Flexradio] HRD and PTT latency.
Hi John Had same problem here, and effected the same solution - think it must be due to the routines being run by PC at changeover 73 de Charlie GI4FUE -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 November 2008 17:39 To: Brian Lloyd; FlexRadio Reflector Subject: Re: [Flexradio] HRD and PTT latency. I notice the same latency with HRD, and only HRD. My solution is in DM780 Options to click on PTT by Comport, rather than PTT by SW command. Also activate and set PTT comport in PowerSDR to the correct virtual comport. Then no PTT latency. (Prefer Fldigi anyways) :) 73 John, N3WT -- Original message -- From: Brian Lloyd [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Nov 5, 2008, at 9:37 AM, Eddy Van de Velde wrote: SDR-1000 and Delta44 sound card and using MixW, Multipsk, Winwarbler and HRD. All programs using Vac and Vcom for PSK. With HRD only, I notice up to 3 seconds latency between clicking TX or RX in HRD - DM78O and the transceiver actually going from RX to TX or vice versa. It is the same with Vcom as with com0com. This never happens with the other three programs. Does anyone know a fix for this, or is it inherent to the combination HRD - 780, VAC and Vcom ? I would love to hear an answer to this question also. I have stopped using HRD because of the keying latency. It causes the loss of the preamble on modes like Oliva and MFSK-16.

[Flexradio] Audio problem on Flex 5K
My Flex 5K has suddenly developed a problem on SSB, in as much as when I PTT the radio with the footswitch, then speak, the PTT relay drops and puts the radio back into RX after about 1-3 secs. This Happens with both my Heil HC4 Headset in the MIC socket, and My PR781 in the balanced socket at the back. If I PTT the radio with the footswitch and do not speak, the radio stays in TX. There is no problem with CW. Setup - Powersdr at current SVN, current Firmware 1.2.2.3, Dual core Machine with 4gb Ram - Problem exists at all sampling rates and buffer sizes, and in USB, LSB, DSB and AM. It does not seem to affect Digimodes using VAC Any Ideas? 73 de Charlie GI4FUE ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
[Flexradio] Flex 5000 and 4 Metre Band
Hi Group Is it possible to make the flex tx/rx on the 4m band (70.00-70.5 MHZ) and if so is a firmware patch available for it?. The 4m band is now widely allocated throughout Europe and it would be nice to use it there Thanks Charlie GI4FUE ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/

[Flexradio] Flex 5K - Sticking TRX Relay
Hi Group I have a Flex 5K which I bought second-hand, s/n 3507-5064. The TRX Changeover relay sticks in transmit intermittently - I need to know how I go about getting a replacement - I don't know how old the radio is, but would assume it is still under warranty. I Live in N Ireland, and would rather replace the relay myself than send the radio off somewhere Could someone give me some pointers Regards Charlie GI4FUE ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
[Flexradio] Problems with RTTY using MMTTY engine
Hi Group – I am having a problem running RTTY – the problem seems to be sampling rates in MMTTY Engine My setup is Flex5000A under control of DXCommander, and audio via a pair of virtual audio cables. If I set the sampling to 48000 in PowerSDR, MMTTY will decode ok on RX, but will not TX Properly. This is because the MMTTY sample rate is 11025. If I set sampling in PowerSDR to 11025, MMTTY will TX ok, but will not decode on RX. Both the VAC’s are set for sampling between 11025 and 96000 This occurs in any program using the MMTTY engine - But RTTY works fine In DM780 Anyone encounter a similar problem?
