[Flexradio] maybe the lightning/power surge took out my front end???
Major storms hit Chicago area, but no lightning close by. I think it effected my Flex5K. A substation near me got hit, big time. Son was driving by when it lit up he said. Not sure it was lightning or blow out due to lines being down elsewhere. That knocked out my power for a moment, but computers were on APC's. Even though my cable modem and router were on their own APC, I had to cycle them to get them back online. Rig was on house power. Obviously too dark to check antenna, but problem seems to be on all antennas. The noisefloor is now below -130, normally my noise floor is approx. -120 With the preamp enabled, the noise floor is much below normal If I disable the preamp the noise floor is at -130 but I can't hear a signal enable the preamp and the noise floor goes to -140 and the signal pops in. The rig 'seems' to have normal power output. The noise floor is the same for both receivers Could a surge take out both receivers???

After running that setup for awhile at 100W, all of a sudden I could not run the radio above 50W without going to full RF feedback. If I stayed below 50W it was fine but above that, it would pin the meter. This went on for some time because I was busy and did not have time to diagnose.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex in contesting
you don't need two radio with N1MM In factit may be darn near imposible. N1MM will only accept (I think it's 8) com ports. They do not have any provision for com ports higher than that. As you must use 'virtual com ports', that's already 4 pairs. So that may be a deal breaker. But as using the RX2 as the second radio, it bypasses the com port issue. I contest with a F5K but I'm old and slow so one radio is almost too much. but I have set it up just to try it. I got it working...to a degree, but never really tried to do it seriously. On 12/7/2009 5:42:43 PM, Rudy Bakalov (r_baka...@yahoo.com) wrote: Hello all, I am considering switching from traditional radios to a pair of F5s for SO2R contesting. I have spent fair amount of time browsing the archives and reading the manual, but some of my questions still remain unanswered. I'd greatly appreciate some thoughts from fellow contesters. I have the following 3 questions: 1. How do you connect 2 radios to N1MM? What kind of hardware do you need? Seems to me that running one radio + N1MM is a no brainer as I can create virtual sound and comm ports that N1MM can use. But what about a second radio? Can I run a second instance of PowerSDR on the same computer? 2. It seems that TX OUT can be selected on a per overall system basis, but not on a per receiver- e.g. ANT1 for TX/RX1 and ANT2 for TX/RX2. Am I missing something? The idea is to have a different antenna for transmitting on the frequency of each receiver so that I can have 2 amplifiers, 2 sets of antennas, etc. 3. From user interface perspective, how do you handle using the contest logger + PowerSDR at the same time?

[Flexradio] The wall of Isolators
Funny that Lloyd would write about Isolators. I just finished this afternoon, "My wall of isolation" Hope this comes through. www.qsl.net/w9ol/Isolators.jpg Top is for the yagi 2nd is for a 30 meter rotatable dipole (I modified a Hy-Gain 40 driven el) Bottom is for the 80/40 shortened dipole There is one more line, for 6 meters, and it has a isolator on it also. It's on the back wall. That rg58 is just for a vhf/uhf handi talky I use for monitoring the Search&Rescue link. The progression is: Vector Analysis pickup, isolator, Low Pass Filters. I would have liked the isolators on the antenna cable end. But mechanically supporting them would have been tough. The LP Filters had screw holes. Now I must admit I do stick torroids on control cables. Figure can't hurt. My tower is less that 3 feet from that last Low Pass Filter. Just outside the wall. 60feet above the shack.

Re: [Flexradio] Problem with 1.18.3 and VAC
I don't claim to be an expert on this but... I can't see why it would work with .2 and not .3 UNLESS You do NOT have the VAC setup exactly the same. My first guess is that you have the incorrect MMTTY sound card setting. If PWSDR VAC is set so: Input is VAC 1 and Output is VAC 2 Then in MMTTY or any other front end for digital they must be the OPPOSITE. MMTTY's terminology is slightly different They call the signal coming FROM the Flex "RECEPTION" And this should be what PWSDR calls VAC OUTPUT and MMTTY calls the sounds goint to the radio (PWSDR) Transmission Which PWSDR refers to it as Input. I've goofed that up a few times myself. The only other thing I can think of is that in MMTTY MISC tab, the TX Port setting. In my case it's set to 'Sound'. But why that would be an issue with .3 and not version .2, I can't answer. Good luck and you could just for kicks, tell VAC to create 2 additional VAC lines. VAC 3 and VAC 4 and use 3 and 4 with the presently non working version .3 and see if that makes a difference. -- Definition of Terror: A female Klingon with PMS. -- TOWER/WEBCAMS and Weather Page @ http://hhweather.webhop.org - Original Message - From: "Mark Whatley" To: Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 9:17 AM Subject: [Flexradio] Problem with 1.18.3 and VAC I recently did my first F5K upgrade of PSDR, FireWire, and firmware from 1.18.2 to 1.18.3.

Re: [Flexradio] 5000A CW
first try this. Turn down the drive to minimum. So that you have basically no power going out. If the display jumping is lessened or stable I would suspect RFI. Make sure your grounded, and all components, rig, antenna switches, amplifiers, and power supply are all grounded together with as wide a copper strap as possible. (wide strap is always better than wire) Single point ground is better than multiple ground connections. My suspicion is that rf is getting into the keying line/computer. Is the WinKey a USB unit? torroids on the USB cable from the computer and wires to the rig may help. I always joke that the total weight of my Flex/PowerSupply/Computer is only exceeded by the total weight of ground straps, audio transformers and torroidal rfi suppessors. It's not a knock on Flex, every previous radio was subject to RFI due to my close proximity to antenna. On 10/4/2009 9:13:29 AM, k4...@fastmail.fm wrote: Just experimenting with the Flex 5000A on cw.

Re: [Flexradio] Looking for suggestion about a rtty starting anomaly
Joe I hope I can help you. First off, I use MMTTY in DXLabs Suite module called WinWarbler. I can also use it in N1MM contest program. Plus it works quite well as a standalone MMTTY version. It's just a matter of telling each of these routes to use VAC as the sound card. For Instance In PWSDR VAC is set to: Driver: Windows WDM-KS Input: VAC 1 Output: VAC 2 In WinWarbler, Soundcard is set to VAC But Transmission goes to VAC input which is PWSDR VAC1 RTTY Reception goes to VAC output which is PWSDR VAC2 In MMTTY setup, TX is set to PTT&FSK com port Com8 This requires a com0com pair of com 22 equals com 8 With PWSDR Cat Control PTT being set to com 22 If just using MMTTY in a standalone system. I'm using MMTTY version 1.66G. Again Soundcard Reception is VAC2 and Soundcard Transmission is VAC1. And on the TX tab, PTT&FSK is the same, set to com8. Using Writelog, you need the MMTTY module, same setup. Using N1mm, again, same soundcard, same com port. Good luck, contact me offlist if you need help.

It's not long but definetly detectable. The more times I call, then listen, the longer this delay becomes. I've tried different virtual com port programs. I've tried different programs to manage the rtty operation. I've used different instances of MMTTY from different directories. It was EXTREMELY apparent this afternoon as I tried to work FT5GA on 20 meter RTTY. Cure; Simply shutting down PWSDR and restarting eliminated the delay between Key strike and diddle beginning. I've experienced this with various versions of PWSDR, firmware and drivers. Currently using: PWSDR Test Branch, svn 3377, Firmware 2.0.0.0, Driver 3.4.2.6300, Latest version of VAC. My DPC's are minimal, And there is no delay using the same system to send CW either via WinWarbler or Flex internal keyer and direct from paddles.

[Flexradio] PWSDR and CWSkimmer and DXLabs SpotCollector
In my system, I've found that WDM provides a better signal for CWSkimmer to decode. But to use WDM, you should make a change to the VAC setup. WDM prefers 'Cable range' to 'Cable format'. I can see a distinct improvement in the scrolling cw in the CWSkimmer waterfall. It's sharper, brighter, and simply decodes a bit better. In fact it's distinct enough that I've started to learn to decode the dot/dash scrolling display. Remember, CWS is NOT a code reader. It just detect callsigns and displays them on a frequency bandmap. Just as blips on your PWSDR panadaptor display cw signals, CWSkimmer puts a callsign onto the blip. There is another advantage to using CWSkimmer, For those using the DXLabs Spot Collector, callsigns decoded by CWS can be added to SpotCollector via CWSkimmers internal telnet. So if your a DXer, and can use 192kHz, CWSkimmer and SpotCollector can watch the band and alert you to a needed band/mode. Adding CWS to your online system does take more cpu. In my case it's adds approx. 20% to the total cpu load. But running PWSDR in 192 mode, full DXL suite, DDUt, SpotSpy, and VE7CC telnet my cpu load is still under 70%. In a heavy contest situation, that increases a bit more. If anyone needs help, feel free to contact me offlist. -- I don't suffer from stress.

Re: [Flexradio] wireless mouse roller wheel and powersdr tuning...
Jim Are you saying that using HotWheels, you must rotate the mouse wheel through many revolutions to see any frequency change? The amount of frequency change is related to the Tune Step Choice. If the Tune Step is 1 Hz, then a rotation of the mouse wheel changes the farthest right digit (red) in VFOA. Changing to the next Tune Step, 10 Hz, the next Tune Step choice is 50Hz, and the next choice, 100Hz will change the farthest left Red number (100Hz) in VFOA. One other factor may be the Mouse Wheel setting. Most mouse software have an option as to how many 'lines' each mouse wheel increments will advance on the screen. -- Light travels faster than sound.

Re: [Flexradio] [FlexEdge] SVN
What I meant was that I play mostly with the 'TEST' vesion. And to be safe during a contest, I usually use the 'TRUNK' version. The TRUNK version is one step from the Official Release verson. Almost all the newer versions have been well tested and generally safe. So I have two icons on my desktop. 'Trunk' for contesting where a crash would loose time. 'Test' for general playing, testing, and learning how the newer features interact. I've looked at 'Pretty Betty' but not so interested in 'looks'. When 'Diversity' get a bit more 'understandable' I'll play with it just so I have an idea what they gurus are talking about. It could be a deal breaker in a super weak DX contact, but that will remain to be seen. Each of the different versions have special issues. Each has some special application that eventually will become part of the 'never final' version. I may never use/learn/understand how to use them all, and probably by the time I do, they will be obsolete as those guys in Texas wake up each morning and say 'hey if we connect etc. etc. etc.' and run to their development computer. You bought the only radio that if you walk away from it for a day, when you come back to it, it will play better than it did than when you left it. Mine is no where near what it was when I bought it. and by contamination, I actually learned a thing or two... (mostly by making mistakes and needing help to fix them). Whatever you like to do, contest, dx, rag chew, listen to Bavarian Opera. Do it..and twiddle with the settings, it's a living toy, play it! So telling you which version to use...no can do...play with them, something will make you say 'hey that's neat!' On 7/14/2009 1:49:51 PM, Kevin Hobbs (ve...@cogeco.ca) wrote: Stick to?
