I'm glad you solved your problem. Unfortunately no one here knows what is your 
problem nor do we benefit from the solution because you posted neither.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex5000

[Edwin Marzan]

I think they do. Flex fixed my 9 year old discontinued radio and it's working 
as good as new. The problem with SDR is that it spoils you into always wanting 
more. There are new features that can be added to my radio but there is no 
incentive for them to continue development on a product that is discontinued. 
And I don't blame them...

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 5000 Value

[Edwin Marzan]

Wishful thinking. These radio's are being treated like old computers.  And new 
software written for old computers is virtually nil. And according to Gerald 
they had only scratched the surface of what the 5000 could do. Without new 
software all bets are off.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 1500 For Sale With Mars Flash

[Edwin Marzan]

The unit's firmware was flashed to include the MARS frequencies. Out of the box 
the radio cannot transmit there. Requires proof to Flex and they will send the 
software to flash the radio.

I do not believe the SDR1000 is supported on any 64 bit system.

Because it makes perfect sense, that's why. Over 90% of the market share uses

[Flexradio] The sale of the 5000A and 3000

[Edwin Marzan]

Just wondering folks, ever since the release of the FLEX 6300 I've seen so many 
5000As and 3000s for sale but I don't see the usual follow up post that states 
"the unit is sold, thank you for your interest". Does that mean these radios 
are not selling?

Re: [Flexradio] Audio

[Edwin Marzan]

Virtual audio is the processing of the transmit audio using audio processing 
software like Cubase using virtual audio cables (VAC). It eliminates the need 
for external hardware like compressors, equalizers and noise gates. The 
processing is handled in the digital domain and reduces the opportunity for RF 
ingress and has tremendous flexibility. Most audio processing software can act 
as a host for what are known as VST plugins which are basically algorithms used 
to control and enhance the audio. Many SDR hams are using this with great 
success (as you have already heard).
Hope this helps!

Re: [Flexradio] DSP NR

It's all in the algorithm. Eventually the technology for some type of adaptive

noise. I wonder if the General Dynamics DMR already has it!

Re: [Flexradio] Important Flex SDR Performance Factors

[Edwin Marzan]

The 1500 is a qrp radio. The 3000 is a 100 watt radio. The K3 can use NAP3 
software which is based on FlexRadio's PowerSDR software.
For me the most important factor is the fun factor. An SDR radio is tons of 
fun! An SDR radio should be included in your arsenal of radios. For some it is 
the only radio they will use. The SDR radio's capabilities are limited only by 
the imagination of the programmers of the software. I picked up a Flex Radio in 
2007. The software has vastly improved since then and radio's capabilities have 
increased with each iteration. If you want a radio that will evolve over time 
then an SDR radio is the way to go.
Good luck and happy new year!

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 1500 and 100 Watt amplifier for sale:correction.

[Edwin Marzan]

I just love to fire up my email everyday, looking for discussions on Flex Radio 
products especially the new radios and SmartSDR progress. But since there is 
such little progress in that area I guess I'll have to settle for the bickering 
about an ad that was written incorrectly which if it had been written correctly 
the owner wouldn't have had to send out a correction.
 
If you post an ad it should be very specific and not open to various 
interpretations or this is what happens...

Re: [Flexradio] The Dirty Little Secret of Firmware

[Edwin Marzan]

Well, we should not be concerned as to how their products are marketed. It is 
possible to get a new radio every time the software is updated. Our radio 
consoles have transformed dramatically since the earlier versions of PowerSDR. 
I don't recall them saying that their radios will last longer. I remember they 
said the radio would improve as computer processors got faster. This has 
especially been true.
 
Buying from another company won't change the rules of obsolescence. Parts will 
eventually become unavailable, no matter who you buy from.

Re: [Flexradio] 5000 Accessories

[Edwin Marzan]

And one day the 6500 and 6700 will be obsolete and discontinued.  It is 
inevitable. We should not be surprised at the demise of the Flex 5000A. Someone 
had mentioned that Flex had just scratched the surface of what the Flex 5000A 
was capable of. I guess now we'll never know of its full potential...

Re: [Flexradio] NR Settings

[Edwin Marzan]

The PowerSDR Console is a bit cluttered but it would be nice if one could 
adjust the settings on the fly while listening to the noise by using a set of 
sliders. One could then save these settings into memory to be recalled whenever 
the offending noise is present...

Re: [Flexradio] Is there a new or additional FlexRadio reflector???

[Edwin Marzan]

Well, there is another reflector called FlexEdge. See the website for details.
You will see a new flood of emails when a new version of PowerSDR is released 
and of course, when the new Flex 6000 series of radios begin shipping. We are 
all waiting patiently!!

Re: [Flexradio] Memory Form

[Edwin Marzan]

Hello Johnnie,
Perhaps you should tell us which version of the software you're using. The 
latest version has a different memory form from much older versions. You can 
save a frequency by clicking the Add button on the bottom left of the form. If 
you can't see the Add button  you may have to re-size the form in order to view 
it.

[Flexradio] Command line switch to turn on radio?

[Edwin Marzan]

Greetings all, I would like to have the radio turn on automatically when my 
computer starts and after it loads PowerSDR from the startup group. Is there a 
command line switch that would accomplish this? I would prefer to do it for an 
older version of the software (namely 1.18.6) since the newer versions load a 
radio selection screen that I cannot seem to get rid of. This is for an 
SDR-1000. Thanks you.

Re: [Flexradio] Will there be a yearly charge for future PSDR releases for non-6000 owners?

[Edwin Marzan]

Microsoft & Apple do it all the time and I don't see any slump in sales.  Why 
should anyone expect this to be free forever?

Re: [Flexradio] Trade my 2.5 month old K3 and P3 for loaded Flex5K+RX2+ATU+VU

[Edwin Marzan]

"Total INRAD Filters with shipping $1147.29"
 
That's more than the cost of a used SDR1000 or new Flex 1500!!
 
Those must be some great filters!!!

[Flexradio] SDR1000 going forward...

[Edwin Marzan]

This is the unfortunate reality that comes with purchasing equipment that 
depends on third party software and hardware in order for it to continue 
running. This is new territory for many of us. Flex is unable to control this 
aspect and I appreciate that they've continued as promised to include the 
SDR1000 in the PowerSDR upgrades. I hope that those of us who have been 
successful with the SDR1000 on a new computer (2012 and beyond) would post 
specifics about their installation with regard to soundcard, drivers, parellel 
port and firewire cards, OS version, cables and any gotchas that were 
encountered. The radio may be obsolete but it continues to work great for me 
and the transmit audio is second to none.

Hi, I'd  like to buy some fish. Can someone tell me where the supermarket is 
located?
No, it would be better for you to pick up a rod and reel, go out there and then 
you can fish for yourself.
Actually I'd rather just go to the supermarket. Can you help me?

Re: [Flexradio] Heros

[Edwin Marzan]

Thanks Bill. I'm using an SDR-1000 and it isn't available on my console. 
Probably because the Preselector wouldn't work with this radio. I spoke to 2 
others with FLEX 5000As and the option is available on their console.
All the best,

1 in 12 human beings on the earth is currently on Facebook and the number keeps

Re: [Flexradio] Genesis radio software (SDR1000 obsolete?)

Hey, I understand. I gotta tell ya, I really enjoy using this damn obsolete 
radio!! I've been told that the transmit audio from my SDR1000 sounds better 
than the majority of FLEX5000 and 3000s out there and that is the icing on the

Hi Brian,

 

I love my SDR1000. Is it really obsolete? I've used it almost every day for the 
last 5 years. Flex continues to include it in their current version of 
PowerSDR. As long as FlexRadio doesn't feel that way I guess I should be OK...


Sure it is obsolete. Obsolete doesn't mean useless. And I own and use lots of 
obsolete things. My car is a 1990 and is obsolete. I have multiple vacuum-tube 
radios that are obsolete. My airplane was made in 1965 and is obsolete. And, 
yes, the SDR-1000 is obsolete which is why Flex manufactures the 5000, 3000, 
and 1500, but not the SDR-1000. 

The point of my posting is that the Genesis, which they are touting as 
state-of-the-art, is essentially a copy of a discontinued radio. If I were 
going to build a new transceiver today, I would not base the PA on a 6146A and 
then try to convince people it was state-of-the-art. 

But that doesn't make your SDR-1000 useless.

Re: [Flexradio] Genesis Radio software...

[Edwin Marzan]

Larry,
There is a section on the Flex website where you can submit requests for new 
features.
http://www.flexradio.com/Support.aspx?topic=NewFeatures 
There are literally hundreds of requests currently in the que but I'm sure the 
company is trying to work out the bugs in the current version and any new 
feature will add new bugs.
I don't know if anyone has put in a request for a new meter design. 
There is a third party meter from a company called WoodBoxRadio
http://www.woodboxradio.com/uk/BobS-meter.html 
Perhaps one day it will become part of the PowerSDR console.

Re: [Flexradio] Can you explain this twin killing

[Edwin Marzan]

You should not delete the video. It shows how frustrated you were when the 
anomaly occurred and brings attention to the problem you were having. Perhaps 
you should mention (in the comments section on YouTube) how you solved it so 
that others may follow suit should they encounter the same problem.
 
There is no question in my mind that the Flex family of radios are the best but 
even the best will have problems from time to time.

Re: [Flexradio] Can you explain this twin killing

[Edwin Marzan]

Hey Burt!!
This has not happened to me for many years! But when it did happen all I had to 
do was run the  RX image reject calibration. Go to Setup > General > 
Calibration, tune to a nice strong carrier and hit the start button. (Is this 
tab available when using a Flex 5000?)
While you're at it go to the Display Tab and change your Main Display FPS to 30 
and Averaging to about 175 and then click the AVG button on your PowerSDR 
Console. Your current panadaptor configuration looks like the inferior display 
from an Icom 756 Pro II. 
I would get seasick looking at such a wild display! 
Just a suggestion :)

Re: [Flexradio] Enhancement Requests

[Edwin Marzan]

I have to admit that I was a little disappointed to see all of those 
enhancement requests  linger on the site for so long with no resolution in 
sight. 
 
Anyone ever consider how much it would cost to add 640+ features to PowerSDR? 
How about $10,000 per feature for starters. Those of you who do programming for 
a living know that my estimate is ridiculously low and has no basis in fact but 
I think if we do some basic math here we're talking a ton of money. They are 
still a small company with limited resources and have many factors  to consider 
before implementing a new feature. The latest enhancement (TNF) was a real 
winner. I'm pretty sure that there is more to come so sit back and stay tuned!

Re: [Flexradio] Why doesn't MON button work in AM

[Edwin Marzan]

Hello Guys,
 
I know this is a technical hobby but I was wondering if you could explain it in 
laymans terms. I always wondered about that as I recently began talking on an 
AM net.
 
Thanks!

Re: [Flexradio] External Audio Processing Question

[Edwin Marzan]

I was unable to adjust the audio using headphones because I use a slow computer 
and the latency was making me sound punch drunk. ;-)
 
I'm using a condenser microphone which requires phantom power so your situation 
may vary. With the microphone plugged into the mic preamp I plugged the output 
of my mic preamp into the line-in jack of my computer's sound card, used audio 
recording software and recorded my voice (unprocessed) for about a minute. Then 
I set up the software to loop the recording. Then I hooked up the line out of 
the sound card to the mic-in on the preamp. Since you're going from line level 
to mic level you may need an attenuator. I think mine was about 50 db. Set your 
Flex output to zero and turn on the monitor circuit. Play back the looped 
recording through your audio processing hardware and then click on the PTT and 
adjust the mic level so that it doesn't exceed 0dBm. Now adjust your processing 
hardware while the recording is looped.
 
After you finish adjusting the hardware disconnect the sound card line out from 
the preamp and plug in your mic and then readjust the mic level on the Flex. It 
was a bit of a pain to set this up but I only had to do it once and I haven't 
changed the settings since.
 
Hope this helps!!

Re: [Flexradio] Windows 8

[Edwin Marzan]

It will probably be nice for PowerSDR to be platform independent but to suggest 
that they drop Windows which is in use by over 90% of personal computer usesrs 
and switch to Linux is really a foolish suggestion. 
 
Losing 90% of your user base would be great for business. Not!!!

Re: [Flexradio] Pan Adapter Spectrum Width

Interesting how different flexers use their panadaptors. I like using 192k 
sampling rate on a 24 inch monitor. And I can see all kinds of things!! 
 
Thank the folks at Flex for giving us these choices.

Methinks the vertical amplitued has to do with the settings from the setup

[Flexradio] When should I worry about receiver overload?

[Edwin Marzan]

There is an AM Broadcast station here in the Bronx transmitting at 880 khz that 
I am receiving at 3dBm (not -3dBm) on my SDR1000. Assuming that my radio is 
callibrated properly at what point should I be concerned with blowing out my 
front end?

[Flexradio] Does the new change in TR transition times affect the SDR-1000?

[Edwin Marzan]

Greetings All,
 
I want to thank the folks at Flex for giving me a new radio via PowerSDR 2.0.19 
RC1.
 
Does Geralds statement below regarding the change in TR transition times affect 
the SDR-1000? The reason I ask is that sometimes after I unkey from a voice 
transmission on SSB the receiver goes silent and I have to restart the software 
to get it up and running again. This does not happen with versions up to 
1.18.6. I would estimate that it happens in about 1 in 20 transmissions. I'm 
wondering if any others from the dwindling pool of SDR-1000 users have 
experienced the same phenomina. I don't believe the firmware of the SDR1000 can 
be changed by PowerSDR 2.0.19 RC1 so perhaps something else is causing this?

Re: [Flexradio] Waterfall and powerline noise

Switch your Flex to AM to hear if the sound is the same as what you hear on 
your AM radio. I get some really strong powerline noise here and yes, the

Re: [Flexradio] Noise rejection improvement

[Edwin Marzan]

Here is something that I stumbled on. The noise blanker actually works on 
certain types of noise. I've had my SDR-1000 since late 2006. I tried using the 
noise blanker many times but never observed any significant results. Yesterday 
on 75 meters I was receiving this horrible buzzing electrical noise that swept 
across my panadaptor and made my waterfall display turn completely red. When I 
clicked on NB1 it disappeared completely!! To make sure it was actually working 
I spent a few minutes clicking it on and off and the results were dramatic. I 
also have a problem with elevator noise. The noise blanker reduced the elevator 
noise by about 3 db. I'm hoping through experimentation that I will be able to 
reduce it even further. Perhaps it would be nice to have the adjustments 
available on the Flex console instead of on the setup menu. That way I would be 
able to adjust it on the fly, perhaps for different types of noise. 
 
I'm going to try your suggestion to see if it applies to the elevator noise.

Re: [Flexradio] New hardware from Flex

...and all the bugs in the Flex software would magically go away. The 4.7% 
market share would really drive FlexRadio sales through the roof too!

Re: [Flexradio] FlexRadio-An Important Perspective

[Edwin Marzan]

I read somewhere that Windows 7 is probably the most complicated piece of 
software written to date. According to a NY Times article from 2006 Vista 
contains over 50 million lines of code. I can only surmise that Windows 7 has 
more lines of code than Vista. If Microsoft had taken that approach of 2 lines 
of good code a day  we would still using DOS or whatever came before it. But we 
would have a really good DOS! I don't believe that rate of development to be 
acceptable under any circumstances. No software business on this earth would be 
able to survive at that rate. And if we did the math it wouldn't ad up. Perhaps 
if the Strike Fighters never missed a target I would feel differently. But then 
again  a 1 out of 20 direct hits during combat is probably acceptable by our 
govt as well. Someone will correct me on this, I'm sure.
 
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/27/technology/27soft.html
 
Gerald, Eric, Graham, Bob, Tim and the rest of the gang are doing a tremendous 
job. I'll be taking the plunge in another couple of weeks. Waiting for the 
smoke to clear!

Re: [Flexradio] The Ultimate Low-Band DXer RF Presel ection Filter: YAESU’s Exclusive µ-Tuning

[Edwin Marzan]

I always knew when I purchased my SDR1000 that I was getting something special. 
The gent with the Yaesu FT5000 made those tuning units sound like the best 
thing since sliced bread!
 
I hope you don't mind the question as I always like to know how my radio stacks 
up against more expensive radios. AFAIK it stacks up really well.
 
All the best,

I think FlexRadio's answer to all this is the "brick wall" filters you already 
have
(at no additional charge, by the way) built into PowerSDR.  Turn up the 
DSP buffer and audio sample buffers to maximum, and there is no 
filter implemented with electrical components that can touch them,
(at least none that you could afford.)

[And they are adjustable and movable, without having to use stepper motors.]

Edwin,

I have a couple of them that I use with my FT950.  They are effective but no
more effective, IMO, than I can be with the 5K by managing the AGC and
tweaking the filters.

I got mine with the radio but, having used them a fair bit, I wouldn't pay
the asking price.  That being said, there are people who think they're the
best thing since sliced bread so your mileage may vary.

Re: [Flexradio] Competitor//adat sdr

[Edwin Marzan]

Interesting radio. Has anyone made contact with a station using this radio?
 
FWIW I was on 75 meters (3828) last night and there were at least 6 of us using 
FlexRadios. The calls are K2YN, WB2K, N2QQF, K2RIG, WA1OXT and K1BJS. 
 
I must say, that's a lot of Flex Radios!! And I probably left a few stations 
out!!

Re: [Flexradio] Anyone want to take a crack at identifying the source of this noise?

[Edwin Marzan]

I've seen that on my panadaptor as well. I've always though it was a switching 
power supply in the apartment building where I live.
 
Love the clarity of the video. Can you tell me what you used to capture it?

Re: [Flexradio] courtesy tone

[Edwin Marzan]

That's a nice little gadget. 
 
Eventually the Flex engineers will have developed PowerSDR so perfectly that 
they will be sitting around with nothing to do. I'm telling you, that day is 
coming!! My SDR-1000 is working fine right now using 1.18.3 so that day 
shouldn't be far away.
 
Then we'll get around to adding more features.
 
So, who will be brave enough to enter the courtesy tone as a feature request?  
:-)

Re: [Flexradio] [FlexEdge] ...back to 1.18

[Edwin Marzan]

Does anyone know if purchasing a new faster video card will extend the 
usability of an old 3 Gig  HP Pentium 4 with 3 Gigs of RAM? I'm not in the 
market for a new computer and PowerSDR 1.18.3 is running very nicely on the old 
computer at this time.

Re: [Flexradio] 2.0

[Edwin Marzan]

Hello Carl,

 

I believe I mentioned this feature in a previous post. Currently PowerSDR is 
not able to collapse the surrounding buttons and display only the Panadaptor. 
If you want to see an example of this feature in action download PowerSDR-IF 
Stage which is a special version created for the LP-Pan Panadaptor. You may be 
able to download from the TelepostInc website. This version will not work with 
Flex products but you can get an idea of how it works.

[Flexradio] BobSMeter Warning. I did a stupid thing...

[Edwin Marzan]

Hey All,
 
I accidentally launched 2 instances of BobSMeter and all hell broke loose. 
Computer locked up in a way that required I use the off switch to shut down the 
computer.
 
Your mileage may vary.
 
Still love the program!!

Thanks for your help. I will take a look.
 
The instructions for the BobSMeter requires "PowerSDR running and configured on 
a valid VCom". Can someone explain what that means and how to set that up? 
Please be gentle, I've never used PowerSDR with virtual com ports so I'm in 
unfamiliar territory.

Re: [Flexradio] BobSmeter-Flex released

[Edwin Marzan]

Anyone having trouble downloading N8VB Virtual Com Driver?

 

I hit the download button and nothing happens.

 

Perhaps someone can email a copy?

Re: [Flexradio] First picture of BobSmeter-Flex running.

[Edwin Marzan]

Hello Beppe!

 

Are there instructions on how to set up the meter with PowerSDR? Which version 
of PowerSDR is supported?

 

Thank you

Re: [Flexradio] Control Surface

[Edwin Marzan]

Now why would any of us want to buy a radio that costs more than a 5000A but 
performs nowhere near it. Take a look at the sorry spectrum scope they 
advertise for it. I guess it's because we live in a free country and people can 
do whatever they like!  :-)

Re: [Flexradio] Control Surface

I've seen lots of photos from various field days and have never seen any 
control surfaces in the mix but would love to see pics from anyone using them.

 

However, I do agree with you.

Great suggestions from everyone but I must tell you, use the keyboard and the 
mouse. A little practice goes a long way and you won't have to buy any extra 
hardware to run these terrific radios. I can tune in an off frequency station 
with the keyboard/mouse combo much faster than I can with any knob. Give it a

Can someone tell me if the line isolators sold by RadioWorks are used for the

I've been using the Creative T20 Series II speakers for the last 3 years. They
