[Flexradio] Possible bug 2.15
I've noticed that I can't scroll the frequency between 2MHzand 2.1MHz or 4Mhz and 4.2MHz This may occur at higher frequencies too but I haven't as yet checked. It is fine with 2.1 RC3 and previous. It is still present after a database reset. Another possible anomily -- using the memory drop down on the main window in FM, the focus stays with the window (the left and right arrow keys and the mouse change memory settings) after clicking in the panadaptor display. It changes ok when clicked in the frequency display. Using XP SP3 and 2.15 with Flex 1500 (also latest DDutils but it doesn't seem to affect the above behavior.) -- Brian Duffell G3VGZ ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/

I guess for 90+% of folks, the computer is good enough... :-( I have an old IBM T30 thinkpad that struggles (but succeeds -- just -- no other programs running) to run my flex 1500 so I'm looking for something better for portable use. Any suggestions at what to look for in a new laptop?

Re: [Flexradio] Parallel Port for F3K

Re: [Flexradio] Automatic bandswitching options for a homebrew amp
Ralph W5JGV w5...@w5jgv.com wrote: The easiest way is probably to use a parallel port card to interface to DDUTIL. DDUTIL only talks to parallel port cards. Then connect the parallel port output signals to a Unified Microsystems BCD-10 decoder/interface card. http://www.unifiedmicro.com/decoder.html That will convert the signals from DDUTIL to a series of optically isolated relay closures to select the correct band relays in the amplifier. You can probably use my setup guide for interfacing a F5K with PSDR to the ALS-1300 amplifier. That shows the settings for PSDR and DDUTIL to select the various bands. http://w5jgv.com/ALS-1300_to_F5K/index.htm 73, Ralph W5JGV - WD2XSH/7 Thanks for the wonderful and helpful description of how to set things up. I'm also about to interface a homebrew amp (AN762 with an external switched filter box-- switching still to be finalised) with my flex1500. I gather from the links above that I can control the filter box (and antenna switching) via the paralell port and DDUtils which I already have installed. I had been wondering how to use it for HB amplifier switching. Two remaining questions. 1 I'm using flex 1500 with (currently) amplifier switching from a slave relay fromn the flexwire port ptt. Is there any need to alter this, does it affect so2r ampkey setup? This is also probably relavent to the OP. 2 Is there any way to get the PowerSDR tune button to send a signal to one of my auto ATUs (LDG) to tune, and then to accept a signal back from the atu once it has found a match. I suspect it can be achieved with a macro in DDUtils. -- Brian Duffell G3VGZ ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
Re: [Flexradio] Silence must meant something.
Guy Harris w6...@guysfreehold.com wrote: A few weeks ago I purchased an UltraMax100 and used a 66ft wire instead of the 24ft that came with the matching network. I was startled to see another 5dB drop in apparent QRN. I have seen days when the QRN is so quiet that it is sitting below -130dBm!! I might add that the band was pretty dead also... Suspicions.apparent Is the drop of qrn reciprocated with a drop of field strength transmitted. I've been chasing similar problems and found changes (to grounding) made a vast improvement to the local qrn that I'm plagued with (PLT adaptors I think!). Then I checked my antenna current, It had similarly dropped, and signal reports confirmed my suspicion. Subsequent changes to grounding have improved both S/N in and out. I'm still cursing PLTs though! -- Brian Duffell G3VGZ ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/

A box to select from, as with the bandwidth or mode would be nice. I would also like to have it able to be set and retained for each mode, ie, 200 Hz for SSB, 20Hz for CW, 10 kHz for AM etc. The lack of this one is one of my biggest niggles. It would also be nice to have the zoom of the panadaptor retained. -- Brian Duffell G3VGZ ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/

[Flexradio] Database Info
As I live in Region 1 the default database gives incorrect band information. I've modified the bands in line with UK allocations but although I get the correct band name, and out of band (and transmit disabled) shown correctly for the appropriate frequencies, the red line signifying the band edges remains at the Region 2 band edges. Hunting through the database I see no way to change this. Is it possible. -- Brian Duffell G3VGZ ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
