Hello,



I'm new to the list but I didn't see any postings in the last 24 hours.

Am I at a dead end here?



I'm considering buying a flex 6700 and step up to the next generation of
radio's.

I'm a satisfied Elecraft user (K2/K3's) but ready for something new.



Let's see what this reflector brings up.

[Flexradio] Flexradio 1500/PowerSDR 2.7.2 question

[David Hilton-Jones]

If I forget to close SDR 2.7.2 before turning power off the Flexradio 1500, the 
next time I try to open Power SDR it doesn't open and a box appears offering me 
either Flexradio 1500 or Demo, but neither works. I have to restart the 
computer, which is a bit of a pain. Has anybody found a quick fix?

[Flexradio] Flex3000 no tx on 40m

[David Walker]

Hi,

My flex has ceased transmitting RF on 40m.  No RF out with SSB, CW and Tune 
button responds ‘NO RF DETECTED.’

A fault with the rig?  Other bands are fine.

Kevin,

The SDR1000 did not have the built-in signal generator that was on the 
3000/5000s.  That's way you had to use the XG signal generator as it put out 
a consistent RF signal.   It's in the PowerSDR. 1.18.6 users guide.

The monitor speakers from Bose work great (From Target).  However you

Well, you shouldn't have that much if any RF in the shack.
Chokes, etc are band-aids masking a real problem, at least in the shack.
Of course if your antenna, feedline, coupling is not clean, resonant, 
installed properly... which is probably why you have stray RF getting inside 
to the gear.
Establish a stout/robust common earth ground outside the shack for feed-line 
entrance, power supplies, radios, amps, tuners. ?Home-run heavy grounding 
wire from each individual unit to the single common ground point. This 
eliminates inter-equipment ground loops and re-radiation between chassis.?
BTW - shack electrical outlet 'ground' is NOT to be considered RF system 
ground. Conductors are too light and likely loop through many other points 
to some unknown eventual tie back to electrical common. That's for GFI 
safety return.

Re: [Flexradio] Lightning Strikes

[David R. Wilson]

I will pile on just a bit more having also had similar experiences on 
several occasions both at work and at the house.

1.  Have the station properly grounded with a common ground for the
incoming power, antennas, antenna support, rig included.
w8ji.com is a good resource (among many others) for grounding ideas.

2.  Some time ago (but not currently) I isolated the network hardware
at the house with fiber going between network switches.  That helped
immensely with lightning problems hitting phone / network / cable lines.

3.  It is a good idea to disconnect power and antenna connections in the
shack if the rig is not in use.

I have certainly lost many thousands of dollars worth of hardware over
the years due to lightning.  I had one power supply at a repeater site
that was destroyed by lightning a number of years ago that had the power
cord and outputs disconnected and placed in the corner of the building.
It was not hooked to anything, but was still hit (while the rest of the
place survived the strike).   It wasn't grounded.  Lightning can do some
strange things.

 Mike has given very good and helpful answers. I would like to add the

 I have been hit 3 times since 2009 and they have all been direct hits with 
 black marks on the wall and much damage. Damage so bad that it melted the 
 air conditioner, the city sewer system both the electronics and pumping 
 system. The GOOD news is ALL OF THE HAM GEAR and TEST BENCH SURVIVED with NO 
 DAMAGE. To understand why MY gear survived... May I suggest the following:
 
 1. Internet:  Don’t use direct connection (RJ-45) to your modem, use RF 
 connection for added lightning protection. The new RF (USB) sticks are so 
 much faster than the older ones.
 2. RF:   Disconnect all antenna connection and put the pig-tale 
 in a glass gar or some kind of insulator. Lightning can jump from the ends 
 of coax connectors, so don't forget putting them in insulator when not in 
 use or during storm.
 3. AC POWER: Either disconnect, or at least use double switch box. The type 
 that has both a master switch and separate switches for each item. Both need 
 to be shut off. Having said that it is still best to disconnect.
 
 NOTE: Lightning protectors and surge protectors DO NOT work all of the time 
 and almost never work with direct hit. Nothing protects like disconnection 
 of gear. People who tell you other wise are either salesmen (selling you 
 lightning protection), or just people that have never seen direct hits. I 
 serviced commercial two way systems and central dispatch systems and more 
 for 40 years. I can tell you that Lightning does what it wants to do and not 
 what you would expect. Even if you have all of the recommended surge 
 protection, it is still best to follow the above rules. Mike is right, 
 repairing after lightning is (at best) a maybe. I have been lucky in being 
 able to repair peoples equipment hit by lightning, but I do not recommend 
 it. Please Disconnect.

 Ouch, that is too bad.
 
 If you haven't filed a claim on your house insurance, you need to do that
 now.  They will take care of determining what has failed.  At least, that
 is what I did on a hydro surge.  This is why you pay for it.
 
 For you 5000, the easiest test is to try another computer.  However, if the
 ethernet card is gone, it will have taken most other things on the bus.
 But, sadly it is a crap shoot.
 
 The 5000 should be written off by your insurance company as there is no way
 to be 100% that you can repair it back to factory specs.  It just isn't
 practical at all.
 
 I say all the above as an ex Manager of a Ham Radio Store.  We would get
 one of these per week and everyone was handled by the insurance.  We never
 tried to repair anything as there was no way to guarantee it.   They also
 have their professionals who do this.
 
 We never had any trouble with any claims either.
 
 Again, sorry to hear that.  It is a pain in the butt, but you should come

Re: [Flexradio] VAC decides to force a few parameters and just like that, JT65 and JT9 stop working

[David W0DHB]

Larry

I think you may have a couple issues going on.

One that Ken pointed out is that JT65/JT9 and associated programs, you must
check your input and output audio card assignment each time you invoke the
software, especially if you have rebooted. They can and do change.

If you are running Windows Vista and above you must set the sample rates for
VAC's in windows itself.
Check out this article.

Subject: [Flexradio] VAC decides to force a few parameters and just like
that, JT65 and JT9 stop working

I had taken a while to stumble through the instructions ofr getting JT65
and JT9 going.  But, a couple weeks back, I had finally done so.

Yesterday, it stopped working.  The reason seems to be, no matter what I
do, it has somehow re-defaulted everything and it won't let me change
anything, even after a fresh boot.

I have a picture (but I don't think I can successfully attach it here).

Salient points:

1.  It does like me set the upper bound rate at 48000.
2.  It does NOT let me see the Ms per interrrupt to 5 (it insists on 7 and
that has always failed for me).
3.  I have to set cable range and not cable format also.
4.  It also seems to think that even on a machine that I have just booted,
VAC has 19 clients.
5.  When I do enable VAC, it does appear to set something, but with an
upper bound of 44K instead of 48K.
6.  While I don't routinely run as administrator, I of course started the
VAC console in that mode.

All of this seems to mean is that tje JT modes don't work, which is what
I had before I set the parameters before.

How do I get past this so I can set them again?

[Flexradio] Sound card settings?

[David Land]

Gary,
Regarding your email below. This is the first time I've notice that this
might be a problem. I knew that all the settings inside PowerSDR should be
the same but didn't know about the external sound card settings! So now I
double checked, in 'setup' I have 'Audio' 'Primary' set to Buffer of 2048
and Sample rate of 96000. In VAC 1 I have the same but 'stereo' is not
clicked. Should it be? I'm running a F3000 so there is no VAC 2.

Then on my sound card of the PC, used to do just the normal PC sounds and
such I have it set to 24 bit 96000 Hz for playback, I also checked the
other set of speakers and the two Line 1 and Line 2 playbacks were all
shown as Virtual Audio Cables. Set them all to 24 bit 96000 Hz. Should I
also have all the 'Recording' inputs set to that? I show 10 items on that
list, mics, lines, and S/PDIF.
Thanks  73,
Dave KD5FX

Another thing to check / verify; make sure all audio devices are running the
same sampling rate and depth i.e  2 channel, 16 bit, 48,000 Hz.
Mismatches with VAC and sound cards WILL cause significant DPCs (Delayed

[Flexradio] Warning for Touchscreen users

[David W0DHB]

The past few mornings I've come into the shack and found all sorts of
strange windows popped up on my Touchscreen monitor.

 

This morning I came in and Flex 5000 was in transmit (fortunately drive set
at zero). 

 

Some Miller moths had taken a liking to my monitor and their bouncing off
the screen triggered MOX and other windows.

Re: [Flexradio] to order a 6300 or not.

[David Movius]

Totally agree and well stated Mike. 

My introduction to SDR and Flex was about two years ago.  I have truly
enjoyed the challenge and learning curves, and have gained a great deal of
respect for FlexRadio staff, support and commitment.  I recently graduated
from Flex 5000 to 6700 and have never enjoyed ham radio so much.  Flex
radios definitely capture the passion and imagination of many, while there
are many wonderful optional radios out there for others.

I replied to someone offline on this, but you will have multiple views on
this.  There are your early adopters (like me) and your 'hanger oners', like
others.

I don't expect it to be perfect at first and may never.  I do know it will
be an education and very interesting and we will all learn things.  Flex
won't solve everything for everyone and to think otherwise is wrong.

But... the big but...

I trust Flex to do the right thing and to support their customers.  The
company is very customer and technology focused and that... is good enough
for me.

If I wanted an appliance, I would stay with my TS480 at my remote base.  :)

 All of my comments are relative to any given 5K installation, and I

 differ from system-to-system, and I wrote this to a broader audience 
 than the original poster.

 The differences for someone that primarily uses digital modes (I know 
 this doesn't cover the OP) aren't subtle at all. DAX simply works 
 better, on a wider range of PCs, than VAC. I would, and did, upgrade 
 for this reason alone.

 I believe he asked for reasons to dump his 5000a and upgrade.
 Many of the reasons stated seem to apply more to someone comparing the 
 purchase of a 5000a vs a 6300. If you already have a working 5000a, 
 the differences are more subtle and he will of course have to decide.

 A nice feature, but any benefit depends on whether he has bought and

  - More dynamic range than the 5K means less intermodulation and

  - Wider panadapter bandwidth allows you to see more at a glance
  - Lower TX IMD
  - Much less RF intrusion into the Signature's chassis
 Very good reasons if those things are a problem for him. The wider 
 panadapter might be compelling.
 
  Issues:
 
  - The DSP isn't that much different than PSDR, so it isn't going to
 sound much different than your 5K until sometime around the end of

  These are the differences today, as I see them. Best of luck with

 The 6300 is clearly cleaner and more elegant, but from a day to day 
 operating perspective I concur with him that there doesn't seem to be 
 a killer app in the 6300 for the owner of a 5000a.

  I have had Flex rigs from the first 1000 kit to my current
 5000a. I have downloaded all the spec sheets, that are out there, and 
 read all the beta testing remarks from the various testers. None of 
 which really tell me much about how the 6300 will work out in the real 
 world,under day to day hamming. I have not seen any comparisons to the 
 performance of the 6300/5000a, weather they be suggested improvements 
 over the 5000a or even improvements based on the new 6300's technology.
   The 6300, looks great on paper and the engineering 
  write-ups,
 but what will I gain in REAL 

[Flexradio] Smart SDR s/w?

[David Land]

So, now that the new 6300 model is out it's got my attention. The hardware
specs look great but what about the software? Is Smart SDR ready for prime
time? Does it have all the features of the latest version PowerSDR software
I'm using now with my FLEX3000? Are upgrades free or is there some kind of
annual charge for the s/w?
I looked around on the flex website for answers to these questions but
could not find any answers...

I seem to recall several versions of PowerSDR back that we had more than 3

a band button 3 times and get different freqs each time, 4th click, I'm
back to the first freq. I was thinking there were 5 or 6 at one time. Or is

[Flexradio] Noise Reduction??

[David McClain]

Hi... wondering if some experts out there can verify...

In playing around with the Flex-3000 and Flex-1500, it appears that the Noise 
Reduction (NR) algorithm becomes progressively less effective as the filter 
bandwidth becomes narrower. That, in turn, indicates to me that the NR 
algorithm is being applied after the narrow-band filtering.

I use these kinds of adaptive LMS filters in audio processing, quite often for 
removing the sound of room reverb from poorly made recordings of speeches. The 
idea is that you want to use a pseudo-reference made by delaying the signal 
just slightly, to effect adaptation and filter tap updates. The reasoning is 
that a human voice waveform is highly correlated across time durations much 
less than 1 ms, while the room reverb and other white-ish noise in the 
recording are not cross-correlated to the speech recording beyond that same 
short delay. The adaptive filter removes the uncorrelated portion to a high 
degree (typically around 12-20 dB noise reduction).

When you send an audio signal through a narrow filter, you end up increasing 
the correlation length of the noise component. You can't be very decorellated 
across intervals shorter than about 1/B for bandwidth B, since that is the 
approximate duration of the filter impulse response. There are fewer spectral 
components in the signal to create a decorellated component, and the 
destructive interference results in a wider wave packet.

So it seems that we should be applying the NR adaptive process to audio with 
the widest possible bandwidth (narrowest possible noise correlation duration), 
and then sending the NR processed wide-band audio through a narrow reception 
filter, like the CW 250 Hz filters.

What we seem to getting through things like the CW 250 Hz filters is next to no 
noise reduction with NR, and almost no fiddling with the algorithm parameters 
to accommodate the narrowed bandwidth seems to help by much. But it works 
progressively better as the bandwidth grows wider.

[Flexradio] More on VAC and PowerSDR

[David Edwards]

Previously I wrote:

Using the Flex 5K, PSDR 2.7.2. Using VAC 4.13, WIN7 64 bit CW Skimmer and MMTTY.
 
 Things work fine for a while then I change bands or some other minor 
 adjustment and the dreaded Whoops something went wrong with the audio. Sad 
 part is there are only a few thing to change and nothing works to get it 
 going again

Upon additional investigation it seems that CW Skimmer is stable. That was the 
first program I setup to use VAC PAIR 1

My thought was that I could run MMTTY or TrueTTY using the SAME VAC 1 PAIR 
thinking the stream handle between PowerSDR and Skimmer would not persist 
through a reboot. Just reboot and start MMTTY. I can not run TrueTTY or MMTTY 
and keep getting an invalid stream audio whoops something went wrong error from 
PowerSDR

Current thought is that I need to define a separate PAIR VAC for each program 
because their configuration gets saved to windows registry and my error is 
cause by trying to start MMTTY with skimmers VAC.

Can anyone confirm or refute this?

[Flexradio] Trying to buy VAC

[David Gallatin]

I apologize if this is considered slightly off topic and yet you gotta have VAC 
(I think you must anyway) to run digital w a flex. 
Tried from Eugene's site to pay with PayPal. I keep getting an error generated 
by Avangate, his CC processor, saying gateway error.
So the other option (which I REALLY do not want to do) is to use my CC on the 
Avangate site itself. I googled that firm, having never heard 
of it before and came up with long lists of complaints against Avangate.  Now I 
figure many of you have bought VAC. If you used the avangate site w no problems 
later
please let me know off list or heck if you did have an issue let me know that 
too and how easy it was resolved. I am very paranoid about giving my CC info
to sites I don't know and doubly so with someone like Avangate and their list 
of complaints. Or maybe you used PP with no problem?

[Flexradio] CW jack input on the Flex 5000

[David Umbaugh]

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,

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
(SkypeToolsOptionsAudio 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 (toolsOptionsGeneral). Also so Skype
will only answer those that are in it's contact list and automatically
answers when called (toolsOptionsPrivacy). 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 (toolsOptionsGeneralAudio). 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 (SetupaudioVAC) 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 (SetupAudioVAC) 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.

[Flexradio] DSP NR

[David Edwards]

I have been using the Flex 5K with Win7 64bit running on an i7 with 12 gb 
memory for about 5 years now. Have upgraded software at least 4 major revisions 
now running v2.7.2 PowerSDR. This is an awsome radio and my best radio. 
Currently have 2 other HF radios: IC7800 and TS2000 and have had many Kenwood 
and Yaesu radios over the years. 

There is one area where the Flex 5K falls down and has not really ever worked. 
The DSP noise reduction is useless. Over the years I have not seen any 
situation where switching on NR improves the ability to copy a weak signal. The 
IC7800 DSP NR is FAR superior. When I purchased the Flex at the Boxborough Ma 
hamfest the canned demonstration showed incredible signal improvement using NR. 
So I wonder when the NR will ever be improved to at least the usable state.

BTW I’ve tried every conceivable setting on the DSP and Audio config. pages, 
have lots of processing power and lots of experience with SDR’s. I work with 
the most expensive SDR everyday of the week at my job: The General Dynamics 
DMR, at $500K per copy this isn’t comparable but my point is I’m not new to 
SDR. That said if I’m missing something I’d like to hear from others who may 
have had a different experience.  Again I think this is a great radio just not 
great DSP NR.

[Flexradio] PowerSDR and SATPC32

[David W0DHB]

Folks

 

If anyone is interested I've written a program that intercepts CAT commands
from SATPC32 configured as a TS-2000, massages them into Flex PowerSDR CAT
and Passes them on to the Flex Radio.

 

It was developed primarily for my own use with a Flex-5000 with V/U option
and really streamlines SAT operations.

 

Please contact me offline if you are interested in giving it a try.

 

Thanks

Dave W0DHB

Re: [Flexradio] powerSDR 2.7.2 upgrade question

[David Edwards]

Thanks to all for the responses, I was sure the firmware upgrade was necessary. 
The message stating looked for v2.1.3.9 found v2.1.3.2 was what confused me. 
Thought: Did I not have the latest firmware?. I did find it and manually 
upgrade to the later v2.1.3.9, it was in the folder with all the other firmware 
not sure why PSDR couldn't find it.

thanks again

Re: [Flexradio] Important Flex SDR Performance Factors

[David Movius]

Craig,

While I have been a knob radio ham for many years, I became intrigued with
SDR about 1 1/2 years ago.  Without giving up my knob radio, I thought about
getting a Flex 3000 for starters.  Shortly after subscribing to this
reflector, a Flex 5000A came up for sale by a ham who had placed an early
order for the Flex 6000 series radio, so I jumped on his 5000A.

The comments by others up to this point are very applicable in helping make
a good decision.  For full disclosure, I am technically challenged with many
of the nuances associated with the broad opportunities available with SDR.
Somewhat out of naivety I jumped into the SDR arena.  (I have a bad habit to
go where angels fear to tread)

Bottom line, that decision has without a doubt given me the most fun I have
had in ham radio.  There is a learning curve and points of frustration with
the SDR paradigm change, but there is this wonderful community of fellow SDR
enthusiasts who are more than happy to offer assistance and encouragement.
In addition, Neal Campbell has provided invaluable assistance to me (and
many others) getting over a number of hurdles.  

Now I am looking forward to soon acquiring one of the new Flex 6000 series
radios.  I am hooked on SDR (literally crazy about it), and will never look
back to a radio with knobs.  A new or updated radio with each upgraded
iteration of the software is amazing -- at least for me.  Support and
service from FlexRadio are also excellent.

You are asking good questions and hopefully you will soon arrive at the
point where your Santa Claus gift can be put to good use. 

Cheers and Happy New Year !!

Dave W7IWW

Subject: [Flexradio] Important Flex SDR Performance Factors

Dear Flex Users Group Members,

I have some Christmas money to invest in my first SDR radio.  I am very
interested in the hobby aspects of SDR, but I must admit that there is a
certain appeal to old school knobs.

Therefore, the Elecraft KX3 has a certain appeal, but being a newbie, I am
not clear if the Flex 1500 or 3000 offer SDR performance advantages that are
more important considerations.  I do understand both systems use the same
SDR software from Flex Radio.

What advice do you have for me on the most important factors that I should
consider in purchasing my first SDR radio?

Thank you,

Craig

[Flexradio] Receiving antennas

[David Movius]

Interested in hearing about experiences with various receiving antennas
useful for input to Flex 6000 series radios (monitoring various band slices)
that are effective up to 30 Mhz, and possible 6 meters.

 

1.Magnetic Loop - better mounted low, or at top of tower, or doesn't
matter?

2.   Wire arrays?

Re: [Flexradio] How long to upgrade?

[David Fisher]

No time at all.  I upgraded from 2.6.x to the latest this afternoon in about 10 
minutes or so.  My setup is very simple, I don’t have it configured for digital 
modes (yet).  I elected not to import the previous “db”, so that reduced the 
chance for error significantly.


Downloaded the installer,

Stopped all processes,

Switched off the radio (5000A)


Ran the installer and let it install everything


This installs the program and the documentation.  The docs are in the Program 
Files subtree (they really shouldn’t be).  I ran off a copy of the release 
notes and followed the instructions.


I’m new at amateur radio, and I’m only doing simple things.  No problems at all 
running the new version.

All,

Normally I am the type of person that likes the latest and greatest software on 
everything. I have been gun shy on upgrading my PSDR as after every release, I 
sit back and watch the bug reports on the reflector. I am back at 2.3.5. For 
the most part it works. Occasionally it starts to oscillate. I have to stop and 
restart PSDR and then it goes away. It could be the firewire driver. I have 
stuck with the old Firewire driver as moving forward requires me to leave the 
legacy Firewire driver and move to the new streaming driver. 


Now for my question. In the release notes, are there a step by step procedure 
on uninstalling the old software, configuring the new one, such as VAC settings 
and the last question. How long has it taken everyone from start to finish to 
uninstall the old software, upgrade the firmware and reinstall the new 
software? I want to determine the amount of time involved with this process. 


I am running a very fast quad core computer with a bunch of memory, low latency 
(Thank you Neil) and Win7-64.

Thank you all and Happy Holidays.

Seems OK to me. I upgraded from v2.6.4. I read the release notes. The only 
thing that didn't transfer was the CW messages and the antenna connections

You might try uninstalling and reinstalling 2.7.2 and PSDR-DT now that you’ve 
uninstalled  Ray’s version. 

That’s what seemed to clear it up for me.

I just checked mine and noticed the same thing -- three instances of PSDRDT 
and three instances of PSDR corresponding to the beta installs and 2.7.2. 
The date on the .exe file for PSDRDT was 12/12 which did not correspond to 
any of the beta install dates but was probably Ray's last compile.

I think Ray should check to see if a prior instance of PSDRDT exists when a 
new one is installed and remove the old one (or at least ask the person 
installing).

However this arrangement did not cause me an error as far as I know, but I 
think I'll follow Dave's lead and uninstall and reinstall just to make sure.

Really appreciate the information.  I am all set up and ready to go.  I

Hi folks!

We've been doing the testing on the PTC series for the FLEX-6000 so 
it's on my mind right now.


1. We think using DIGU and DIGL is better because it does change a few 
of the AGC and filter delay settings in PowerSDR.
2. Wiring to the FlexWire port on the back is pretty convenient and 
allows you to leave your mic connected.  The details are in the 
knowledge base.


3. We've had pretty good luck with the PTCII on the 3000.  I will 
admit there are times when LONG PATH is the desired connect setting 
but it does a good job of high speed data transfers once the 
connection is made.  Here is my favorite list of parameters:


Here's the link to the PTCII interface:

http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50422.aspx?Keywords=pactor+III 
http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50422.aspx?Keywords=pactor+III



Below are settings that are known to work:

1. KC article on how to interface your PTC modem:

http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50422.aspx?Keywords=pactor 
http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50422.aspx?Keywords=pactor

2.  Typical SETUP settings that we found works best with the modem on 
the FLEX-3000


In PowerSDR:

SETUP/AUDIO
 BUFFER SIZE:  256
 SAMPLE RATE:  96000

SETUP/DIGITAL/OPTIONS
 BUFFER SIZE   DIGITAL   RX:  256 / TX: 256
   PHONERX:  256 / TX: 256   Optional if you want to use 
USB setting rather than DIGU setting


SETUP/CAT
 ID as TS-2000
 CAT CONTROL ENABLED
 COM7 (Virtual port from Com0com)
 NONE
 57600
 8 bits
 1 stop

MIXER
   FLEXWIRE IN (checked)
   FLEXWIRE OUT (checked)

on Main PowerSDR Screen:
   DRIVE: 100
   AGC-T: 100
   AGC - MED
   RX GAIN:  OFF (Optional Pre1 for 20M and higher)
   MODE: DIGU
   FILTER: 2.9kHz
   MODE SPECIFIC CONTROLS:
  RX GAIN: 4
  TX GAIN: 20
  SAMPLE RATE: 8000

Note:  You can use the USB mode for successful Pactor III if 
required.  The settings below are optimized for Pactor and will give 
sub-optimal results for conventional Phone (voice) settings

Optional USB Settings:
  MODE USB
  FILTER: 2.4kHz
  TX Profile: DEFAULT
  CMPDR OFF
  MIC GAIN: 20

In AIRMAIL V3.4
 MODE PACTOR III
 Monitoring ENABLED
 Long Path - OFF

SET PTC-II AMPLITUDE
FSK  1530
PSK  1631
TXD  20

The above settings will yield good undistorted output at 95-100W with 
good receive fidelity.   I've tested this on 2 radios with similar 
results.



Good luck and I hope this helps!  I will let you know that we are 
testing a new Firewire driver for PowerSDR 2.7.x that ...may... help 
with stream latency.  I have to wrestle the modem away from the 
Development team so I can test it with 2.7.

[Flexradio] uz7ho packet soundcard help

[David Walker]

Hi

I am running the UZ7HO packet soundcard program with my flex-3000. I am 
decoding packets but I'm unable to connect to stations.  I've had a 
similar issue with MixW before.


The program outputs to 11025 and I have my flex VAC line set to 11025.

What's the trick?


Regards


Dave

Re: [Flexradio] Can't install PSDR on Windows 8.1

[David Fisher]

Following up on this -- I hope not prematurely ...


I scrapped my Windows 8.1 system and re-imaged my machine with the Windows 8 
system that had been on it previously.  This was a stable system.


After getting all the backed up patches installed and verifying the files 
against the backups, I tried installing PowerSDR.  This time, no problems at 
all.


Now all I have to do is learn to use this rig 


Thanks to all for the help and suggestions ...

Well, here I am with a new 5000A installation and I’m stuck.  I’m running 
Windows 8.1 (I know, I know) and I can’t get PowerSDR installed.  When it tries 
to install the Firewire driver (I knew this would be the hard part), the system 
blue screens on a “Memory Management” error.  Does it every time.




This is the “beta” W 8.1 - the real bits come out at the end of next week.  
This may be a bug in the system, so I may have to sit and wait.  Backing up to 
an image of the Windows 8 system that was on this computer prior to putting on 
W 8.1 is an option -- one I’d rather avoid.




Maybe I should revert to the W8 system anyway.  Going forward from there with 
the W 8.1 release, when it comes, will be supported, but going forward from the 
beta may not.

[Flexradio] Question on newbie involvement with SDR and specifically FlexRadio

[David Getzy]

Hi Folks,

This post originally went to the qrp reflector, with the intention of
posting here obviously as well.  Medical issues got in the way, and the post
was never sent to this list.  I've done a lot of research and got a
tremendous response from folks using FlexRadios on the qrp list, but I'd
like to hear the experience of folks on this specific FlexRadio list as
well.  Please feel free to respond on or offline, whatever you feel is most
appropriate and thanks in advance for any advice/information:

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a note requesting input from members of this
list about which FlexRadio would be best for a newbie to SDR to buy. I did
not want to commit to one of the newest radios, due to cost and
unfamiliarity with SDR at this point, although I am somewhat conversant with
computers, computer interfacing with radios, and not adverse to
experimentation and playing around with a system to get it working.

I subsequently ran into a significant medical issue that has kept me offline
for a couple of weeks since. First:

1. I want to thank all of you who replied to my original post, both online
and offline. I received a significant number of responses that gave me
great information on various perspectives of where I should start and what
radios to consider. Included were several individuals who had 5000s, and
were looking to sell them. Again, my apologies for not replying sooner, but
I have not been able to until now- but thanks so much for your
thoughts/philosophy and information on specific radios.

2. I feel that after doing my homework and from the information provided
in response to my initial query, I think that I have settled on looking for
a 5000 radio as a place to start. Most importantly from the responses, it
sounds as if Flex Radio is committed to continued service and firmware
updates of these radios for the foreseeable future- a veryt important issue
for me.

3. It does appear that there are individuals on this list, as well as on E
Bay, and various radio stores that still have 5000s new. I am not adverse
to purchasing a used radio that is in excellent condition and has the
features that I'm looking for (second receiver, transporter options, etc.).

4. My additional questions/requests:
A. Do you have a reason for strongly suggesting trying to find a new 5000
with appropriate options or finding the same radio used. Small cosmetic
defects are not an issue- large gashes or missing power transistors probably
not cool;-).

B. If you do have a 5000 with the options that I'm looking for and the
radio is in excellent working order, I'd be very interested in talking with
you (email offline, etc.). Please contact me at: dge...@gmail.com or
da...@getzy.org at your convenience.

C. Any other suggestions as to necessary (or just helpful) accessories to
consider with the radio, such as: Specific antennas that seem to work well
(I am in a relatively restricted/stealth type area, and so as much as I find
huge antennas aesthetically pleasing, I don't think that a tower is an
option;-), tuners, wattmeters/radio monitoring equipment, microphone or
other audio amplifier components, preamps, anything else?

D. Does anyone have experience running the 5000 series with a 500 watt
linear amp? I am currently using the Elecraft KAP500 and would like to try
and drive it with the 5000 if possible.

E. Any considerations for RFI issues- either produced by the radio or
interference to the radio- and suggestions for ferrite beads or any other
solutions if needed (I realize this is something that is fairly dependent on
my particular set up and will require me getting the radio on the air and
seeing if there are any problems that crop up).

F. I have a fairly decent desktop computer (PC/Windows based) that I put
together, and seems to have all of the requisites that are listed on the
FlexRadio site for computer systems that work well with Flex Radios.
Besides the general recommendations given, are there any other
considerations for components/accessories or anything else on the hardware
side of things to consider?

G. Anything else to consider relative to purchase and use of the 5000
series that I haven't covered (again, I realize I'll probably be able to be
more specific when I get things going in my own shack).

Thanks so much to all of you on this very knowledgeable and civil
reflector/list. Best regards to all.

Very 73s,

Dave, WS0D

[Flexradio] FLEX3000 can't get a full 100W output

[David Land]

I haven't been paying much attention to my output in the past but have
noticed lately that I don't get a full 100W output on SSB on any band. That
is with a whistle on the input which should drive it to max output. I'm
looking at the 'Fwd Pwr' on the TX Meter which agrees pretty close with an
external BIRD power meter that I have.
So yesterday I hooked her up to a 50ohm 1KW Cantenna to see what each band
would do. It varied from a low of 74 watts on 12 mtrs to a high of 95 on 15
mtrs. Seems like I heard somewhere about some calibration or something you
can do to fix this sort of problem.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[Flexradio] AGC-T Filters

[David Walker]

Hi Folks,

Well... aren't I the last person in the flexshpere to discover that 
dropping filter to 100hz and lowering AGC-T to 95 or below does wonders 
to dig out weak CW sigs.


That should be in the manual!

Re: [Flexradio] Power SDR Quits!

[David Fisher]

You’ll hear lots of ideas about how to clean up a system that has a problem 
like this.  Some of them may work.  But in my opinion your best defense is to 
keep a known good system image available.  If something, or someone, comes 
along and makes a change to your system that causes a problem like this, you 
can say to yourself “PowerSDR is more important than yadayadayada” and put the 
system back to the way it was at the time of the image.


Windows 7 has a very effective system imaging subsystem that will put away a 
copy of your entire system on an external drive for safe keeping.  Get into a 
jam like this and you simply restore the system to the way it was when it was 
working properly.  Keep two or three drives around and rotate them once a month 
or so.


As for your personal files that might be lost in a system restore, you need a 
good backup solution to bridge that gap, but you should have one anyway.


If you have been using the built-in system checkpointing tool, then you may be 
able to roll the system back to a checkpoint, if you know the approximate time 
when the system became unstable.  I’ve had good luck with this too, but when it 
really matters, there’s no substitute for re-imaging the hard drive.  This is 
the way problems like this are handled in the professional computer admin world.


I had a problem similar to this a few months ago when I thought I would be able 
to make a change to the way my hard drives were formatted.  It worked for a few 
days, then the system became unstable.  I restored the latest good system image 
and that was the end of the problem.

A few things to add to my original post.  The operating system is 
Windows 7 No issue with blue screens.Power SDR first freezes,  
ghosts the screen and then sends a message to close the application. 
This happens randomly. It shuts down in the receive mode so rf is not 
the issue It has been operating well for the past year or more with 
no problems.  Virus scans show no problem. He did somehow pick up  
OTSHOT  (hotshot)  some picture sharing junk software which I have not 
been able to get rid of completely. It sends several messages when you 
boot up.I suspect something is running in the background that 
interrupts Power SDR causing it to shut down. As I mentioned previously 
I did install Power SDR 2.6.4 with no change in the problem.


My dad was using Power SDR  version 2.3. something ...  on his Flex
3000.  Out of the blue it started to lockup then shut down. The run
period between lockup/shut down varies quite a bit.   I thought it might
be an issue with his virus protection software because he had recently
renewed it and had problems installing it.  We have cleared up the virus
software problem (Trend Micro) but Power SDR still shuts down. I
upgraded him to version 2.6.4 but we still have the same problem ..
any suggestions?

Re: [Flexradio] USB/RS232 adapter

[David Fisher]

I’m as new as can be to ham radio, but I’ve been a computer hobbyist for years. 
 If I wanted to source a part like this, I would go to Newegg.com, search for 
the part and order by best rating.  Many of the parts will have no ratings.  
Read the reviews for the parts that do,  and look for hints suggest this might 
not be the one you want.


Parts like this come from a very limited number of suppliers -- markup is very 
low -- so name brands don’t mean a lot.  But I would expect to see SIIG, 
StarTech, SYBA, etc.  Not well known names outside of the hobby.


Hope this helps …

[Flexradio] Dayton impressions?

Did anyone spend time playing with the 6700s at Dayton?

I haven't really seen any feedback from Dayton attendees on their
impressions of the 6000 series radios that wete on display.

Also if someone went to Visalia and Dayton, how much has the software
matured since?

I'm eagerly awaiting my 6500 and would like to get feedbak of initial

 Jim,

 You asked, In your opinion when will the 5000 be gone effectively from the
 scene?

 I am not that good at seeing into the future, but I can say the following:

 1.)  PowerSDR is still going to be developed since it is still needed for
 the FLEX-1500  FLEX-3000.  As long as PowerSDR is an active development
 project, the FLEX-5000 will still be improved.

 2.)  PowerSDR development will not go away until Flex discontinues both the
 FLEX-1500  FLEX-3000.  That is not going to happen in the foreseeable
 future.  To quote someone who is in the know, The FLEX-1500 is selling
 like
 hotcakes.  Also Flex needs a product in the $1500-$1700 class.  Therefore
 the future of both radios seems to be assured.

 3.)  Even when PowerSDR development comes to an end, the FLEX-5000 will
 remain a useable radio as long as you can maintain a computer that can run
 PowerSDR.

 So, the answer to your question hangs on your definition of effectively
 and on factors (such as PC availability) that are outside of Flex's
 control.
 I would guess that it is many years away.

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.

Re: [Flexradio] No Broadcast band?

[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.

[Flexradio] Re V2.6.4

[David Painter]

Anyone else seen this behavious in the new version.

Panadaptor appears to stall/pause regularly and momentarily and then resume. 
Mouse movements are slow and slow to catch up with movements across the 
panadaptor.

Oddest one is that the clock displaying local time (seconds) will freeze for a 
few seconds, sometimes for minutes at a time, and the CPU usage will stop at 
the same time and then both will resume. The does not seem to be any pattern to 
the clock seconds freezing up.


Any Ideas??

Anyone else seen this behavious in the new version.

Panadaptor appears to stall/pause regularly and momentarily and then 
resume. Mouse movements are slow and slow to catch up with movements 
across the panadaptor.


Oddest one is that the clock displaying local time (seconds) will freeze 
for a few seconds, sometimes for minutes at a time, and the CPU usage will 
stop at the same time and then both will resume. The does not seem to be 
any pattern to the clock seconds freezing up.



Any Ideas??

Mike et al,

My machine has been runnning,  without problem, thru the various iterations of 
PSDR for years. Sometime  I run it on its own approx 40% CPU, sometimes I run 
it streaming BBC/Sky news approx 60% CPU.

The only thing that changed between 8am today and 9am today was installing 
v2.6.4 with the new Firewire driver.

Mike, please let me know if Klaus is able to get a fix for you and I'll give it 
a shot before buying a new system!!!

  Hi Bob,

  Flex Radio have already traced the problem to the new firewire driver, Klaus 
at FlexRadio EU Support is waiting for the fix from the US guys.
  The US Support guys have replicated the problem.
  The PC I use for my Flex3000 only runs PSDR, it does nothing else, it's not 
even connected to the internet and no Anti-Virus running either.
  All non essential services are disabled under windows, it just runs PSDR, 
nothing else.

  Mike.

  Open the Panascope and check to see if you are getting any spikes on

[Flexradio] WSJT on Flex1500

[David]

I have a couple of problems with running WSJT on the transmit side which the 
experts may be able to help. I have a Flex1500 which on 50 MHz drives a 
Mirage 1016 amplifier to a useful 100 watts output.. The latter is keyed via 
a small relay connected to the Flexwire socket. My computer is a Compaq 
laptop. On receive, the audio comes from the Flex via VAC1.

My first question is, how do I send the audio from the computer to the Flex. 
Is there a way of using VAC2 in a similar way to using VAC1 or do I have to 
take the audio out of the computer audio out socket and into the pin 2 of 
the flexwire socket.

Second question. How do I automatically key the transmitter on. There is a 
break-in facility for CW, but there does not seem to be any sort of VOX 
available for SSB and I can not find a way of using any Com port to activate 
pin 4 of the Flexwire socket.

Thanks in anticipation.

Re: [Flexradio] RF in the shack - Flex 5K

[David Movius]

My RF problem occurred through mic cable resulting in distorted audio on 15
and 17 meters.  When mic cable replaced with properly shielded cable there
was complete resolution of my RF problem.  I thought FireWire may have also
been culprit, but it wasn't.  I changed to Granite FireWire anyway.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 5000A with vintage transverter = success!

[David]

Some time ago I used all three of them. The modules each had their own 
little box. They all developed faults in the diode swiching. The other 
problem was with the pass transistor which supplied the regulated volts to 
the crystal oscillator. This resulted in FMing when you transmitted on SSB 
or CW. I still have them, so I may try the 2 metre one out sometime.

In case anyone is looking for a low-cost way to put their 5K on 2M and
70CM, I found that the Yaesu FTV-107R transverter is quite easily
adapted to the task. It covers 144-148 mHz in two switched bands with a
maximum output power of 10W, using an IF of 28-30 mHz. It has repeater
offset capabilities built-in, but I found it's easier to program those
using PowerSDR - fewer switches to keep track of.

[Flexradio] Phase2 Display on Flex-1500

[David McClain]

On my Flex-1500 the Phase-2 display always shows up, almost off-screen, in the 
upper left of the window pane. I understand that it is showing the raw, 
unfiltered, ADC/L and ADC/R. So when I go to the meter to select those two 
readings, my Right channel reads about 5-6 dB lower than the left reading -- 
hence the offset in the Phase 2 display.

Is this something that I should be concerned about? as in send back to the 
factory for adjustment? or is it just fine the way it is?

I see my questions wasn't wasn't specific enough, my fault.

1) The 3k has only 1 antenna port.
2) I would like my 3K to /transmit on 1 antenna and receive on another 
antenna/,
this implies an external T/R switch, RF sensed or something driven 
off  FlexWire port...
3) What solutions are people using?  The DX Engineering RTR-1 Receive

[Flexradio] Any 3K or 5K Flex owners in Milwaukee area?

[David Garnier]

Hi,

I am having a weird problem with my 3K that recently popped up.

Each time that PTT line is energized the 3K begins to /move up//
//frequency in 100Hz increments/!  If I key the radio from the front
panel CW jack or from the drop down CW keyboard panel
_no problem is seen_.  This problem occurs at the lowest power
setting and into a 50 ohm dummy load.  I am thinking I have
a H/W problem here.

Is there someone in the metro Milwaukee area that wouldn't
mind - if I bring over my 3K, fire-fire cable  dummy load and
operate my radio from your PC???  By doing this simple test
I can quickly rule out PC environment problem on my end.

Please contact me off list.  dgarn...@wi.rr.com

[Flexradio] Out of band transmission

[David Hilton-Jones]

I fear I've just made a big mistake. I've been using a SDR1000 for several 
years as an IF for VHF transverter use. I decided to upgrade to a Flex-1500 
which is of course apparently better designed for the purpose.

But only now that I've spent the money have I realised the major problem. My 
70MHz transverter uses a 50MHz LO (10Mhz source x 5) and an IF of 20-21MHz. I 
set up the Flex-1500 with ease, only to find that when I try to transmit I get 
an out-of-band message, because of course 20MHz is not an amateur band. 

I've seen some previous posting suggesting that an answer might be forthcoming, 
but haven't seen it.

Have I wasted my money?

Help please.

SDR is set to:
Cat Control: enable CAT
Port COM15
Baud 57600
Parity none
Data 8
Stop 1

PTT Control enable
ID as PowerSDR

HRD is set as:
Company FlexRadio
Radio PowerSDR
Com Port COM5
Speed 57600

It won't connect...

Re: [Flexradio] LOW POWER OUTPUT ON 2M

[David Painter]

In a message dated today Steve K1IIG stated:

' I have requested Flex to rewrite the code to allow users to access that 
via a UCB function. I do not expect this will happen with the 5000 now 
discontinued along with the v/u add on. '


When and where did FRS announce that the 5000 was/is discontinued?

That doesn't mean it isn't discontinued.

Given the appalling history of this company I will wait for a denial from 
someone who  is actually employed by them and can speak with some 
authority/accountability.

  The 5000a is not discontinued. If you aren't sure, go to the Flex website 
store and you will see that you can still buy a Flex 5000a. It is right there 
on the front of the web site with a Buy Now button still prominently 
displayed.

We;ve heard all these assertions,  platitudes and promises from the same people

  I actually asked the question and was clearly told that they are no immediate 
plans to discontinue the 5000a. 


  But think about it, why should they? They have no product to replace the 
5000a.

Wait until you hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth when, five years down 
the road, the 6000 series is still so full of bugs a mosquito net would be 
jealous and you are still waiting for enhancements that have been promised 
for years. Yes you can cancel your annual Promises Fee but your still out 
7500 and you are still left with a brick that will never do what you were 
(mis)lead into believing it would do.

Yes, there are things that don't work and funny stuff happens sometimes 
but I really like that radio and the bumpy stuff on the back and it rarely

reboot it does what I've come to expect and I definitely consider it to be 
an aspect of my radio hobby that keeps me interested.


The failures and shortcomings are most likely the result of the incredible 
complexity and unpredictable interactions in software and hardware that

Re: [Flexradio] LOW POWER OUTPUT ON 2M

Gerald Youngblood (10/6/2008)

The new architecture is currently in development as we speak but will take
several more months before it is ready for beta testing.  In fact, I have
just completed two days of meetings this week with the developers working on
the specific implementation plans.  This is a major effort because it is a
ground up rewrite of the entire system.  I ask everyone to be patient while
the developers do their magic.

Gerald Youngblood (3/7/2008)

On the PowerSDR software front, we will be limiting updates to bug fixes and
essential enhancements in order to devote our resources to the new software
architecture.  We plan to strictly limit feature additions to PowerSDR so
that we can turn our attention to the new development, which will enhance
our ability to rapidly bring new capabilities to our customers.  It is
imperative that we make this break with the past so that all our customers
can receive the benefit of the new architecture.  We will keep you up to
date as things develop on this front.

If YOU search the archives I know you will find many more.

Re: [Flexradio] LOW POWER OUTPUT ON 2M

[David Painter]

Good for you Brian,

Fortunately, organisations like the Federal Trade Commission and Texas Attorney 
Generals office exist protect the interests of consumers who don't have the 
benefit of your inside knowledge.

Flex doesn't need me or anyone else for that matter to hurt them. My in box is 
testament to the vast swathes of customers who Flex has alienated (shafted is a 
common term) by the promises made year after year and their faillure to deliver 
on their promises year after year. Trust and confidence are vital to the 
success of any business...for many people Flex have blown that away.

David

  Good for you David. So you are unhappy with Flex's past performance. I guess 
the major question is, What is your point? What is it that you hope to 
accomplish? Are you hoping to punish Gerald? Are you hoping to hurt Flex 
somehow? Are you hoping to help the rest of us who are too stupid to realize 
how malevolent/stupid Flex is?


  We are all big boys (and girls) here. Many of us have owned Flex products. We 
are walking into this with our eyes open. I know that I don't really need your 
help in this area. I am well aware of what has been promised and what has been 
delivered. I even have a pretty good idea what was and is wrong. I understand 
why Flex never delivered on its rewrite of PowerSDR and I also understand why 
Flex has stuck with PowerSDR even given its limitations. I also understand how 
the new architecture of the 6x00 series is different and how that is going to 
change how they develop software for it and why that is likely to produce a 
product that is far more flexible and extensible than their previous products 
were/are.


  I guess what I am saying here in a nutshell is, Thank you for your concern 
but I don't really need your help.

[Flexradio] PowerSDR display problems on TV

[David Walker]

Hi,

I've installed PowerSDR on my PC connected to our 40 TV.  The PowerSDR 
objects are displaced and buttons are showing 1.5 buttons and the 
function objects are overlapping other objects.  So in short, it's all 
higgledy-piggidy.


I'm using WIn7 x 64 and a AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series graphics card.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Dave.

[Flexradio] Vista can't find SDR fire wire driver during install

[David Garnier]

Hi,

I just bought a new PC with Vista Business 32 bit with SP-2 installed on it.
_Note_.  I am new to Vista and I think I have administrator privileges!

At this point (of my lovely adventure into the O/S called Vista,) the
fire wire 400 card is already installed, device mangler reports that
TI's IEEE 1394 driver is alreadly installed and there's no conflicts.

Problem.  During the installation of Power SDR 2.3.5 package,
the install process cannot find Flex's Fire Wire driver on the CD.
OK, what is the name of this driver and where can it be found?

Couple weeks ago XP found Flex's Fire Wire driver on the CD,
so what gives?

Thanks guys.
