[Flexradio] Frustrated with VAC, WSJT and Fkex
You may try my settings I collected... WSJT-X OPERATION (JT9 and JT65) Version 1.2 of WSJT-X offers two protocols or “modes,” JT9 and JT65. Both are designed for making reliable, confirmed QSOs under extreme weak-signal conditions. They use nearly identical message structure and source encoding. JT65 was designed for EME (“moonbounce”) on the VHF/UHF bands and has also proved very effective for worldwide QRP communication at HF. JT9 is optimized for the LF, MF, and HF bands. It is about 2 dB more sensitive than JT65 while using less than 10% of the bandwidth. Both modes use one-minute timed sequences of alternating transmission and reception, so a minimal QSO takes 4 to 6 minutes — two or three transmissions by each station, one sending in odd minutes and the other even. World-wide QSOs are possible with power levels of a few watts and compromise antennas. Note: WSTJ-X implements both JT9 and JT65 Introduction http://www.physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx.html Frequencies http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.radio.wsjt/318 Band Dial Freq (m) (MHz) --- 160 1.838 80 3.576 60 5.357 40 7.076 30 10.138 20 14.076 17 18.102 15 21.076 12 24.917 10 28.076 6 50.276 With above dial frequency settings JT65 signals would be expected at audio frequencies 270 to 2270 Hz, JT9 signals at 2500 to 4000 Hz.

I've even made one six meter ENE contact and been heard by several stations. With W7GJ now at KH8, I'd like to try to work him. But, without WSJY, VAC and Power SDR working together, there's no chance. I do have VAC installed and the latest Released version of WSJT as well as VSP manager. So, I don't need instructions on downloading and installing same. The OLD Knowledge Center article that I printed out a year or two ago, spends a lot of verbiage on downloading and installing these programs. It talks about installing VAC into Power SDR Version 1.14.0. That's how old it is. One of things it says it to make sure that Flex 5000 Firewire device driver is set to the same parameters and Safe Mode 1 is the operating mode. It refers to another Knowledge Center article to explain how to do this. Going to the Flex Website, I find no place to find Knowledge Center articles anymore. Has the Knowledge Center been done away with? I did find a so-called White Paper entitled LEVERAGING SDR FOR BETTER DIGITAL MODE COMMUNICATIONS. But it is nothing but a sales pitch for software defined radio and VAC. I don't need a sales pitch. I'm already convinced re SDR and have been for years.. What I need is a good up-to-date step-by-step description of what parameters to set into Power SDR, VAC and WSJT. At the moment, I'm getting an ERROR message in WSJT saying Error in opening audio channels and some other stuff that says it won't work. I DID have the audio stream running normally an hour or so back, but I've obviously messed it up now.

[Flexradio] Distorted TX audio PWRSDR-2.6.4
After updating the software in Win7-64 to PWRSDR-2.6.4 the TX audio is badly distorted (did try reset database). The same update on my Win7-32 system worked fine. When I checked the FW driver in Device manager they are both using the 1394 OHCI Compliant Host controller legacy driver. I was surprised since I thought it would use the new Flex Firewire driver 4.1.1 . The FW card uses the TI chip-set and worked fine in previous versions of PWRSDR. I would like to try the new FW driver. How do I manual install this since it did not do this on the update. Note: using DPCLAT or the Flex program I don`t see any bad DPC`s and the Flex program recommend `Normal Mode` Any suggestionsÉ John, VE3DVV ___ 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/

Been using the card successfully with DDUtils under Win7-64. I had to do a reinstall of Win7 and having problems to get the parallel port to work. I tried the vista drivers and the Win7 (from Rosewill) and both give me the same results. The problem seems to be related to a missing Microsoft PCI Multi-IO Controller driver.

Did I miss a setting somewhere or is this a bug? They are annoying on receive. Did you try using the 10-band EQ to knock down the audio spectrum below 250Hz? Yes, I know that is a hack but it might make it tolerable. No I have not. It likely would work. However I think a Flex could do better then that. It only should filter out the particular PL tone rather then a large frequency range to maintain quality base tone reproduction. Also I don't like to having to use different receive profiles for FM repeaters with and without PL tones. It becomes messy at best. It would also give Flex an edge up in clarity. I don't think it would be hard to implement.

You go into control panel and uninstall the drivers. They disappear from the device manager. Next reboot they are back. Then you uninstall the ports again and next reboot they are back with the yellow exclamation mark. This is not an indictment of vspMGR or Eltima.

It would seem that might kill 'em. Or maybe something is saved somewhere down in the bowels of VSPMgr. Maybe if you uninstall the whole VSPMgr and all its ports, erase its directory in Roaming, and start over they won't come back.

Re: [Flexradio] Macro ZZTH04000; problems. (Bill Diaz)
Thanks Bill, Looks like you get the same results with your F-1500. The high cut-off I can set is also 3650Hz. Wonder if Dudley or Tim could comment on this if this is a limitation of the F-1500 or PowerSDR. I was getting into this when I was trying to setup a MaCRO for Win-Warbler which handles a 4khZ spectrum. It looks like the maximum bandwidth on TX is 3650Hz. Correct me if wrong please.

Message-ID:4f39a391.6060...@comcast.net Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed John, I have found that the Flex CAT documentation is not all that accurate. Some commands don't work as documented or return unexpected results. According to the ZZTH command as documented in CAT_Command_Dictionary.pdf, sets or reads the TX Filter High setting within a range of 00500 to 2; The documentation indicates you get get the current ZZTH setting by sending ZZTH; My Flex 1500 returned ZZTH03100; . This corresponds to the the Transmit Filter High value of 3150 found on my Setup, Transmit tab. If I try to enter 2 as a TX Filter HIgh value on the setup, Transmit tab, it drops back to 3650. Sending ZZTH2; to the Flex1500 gets no response. Sending ZZTH04000;, ZZTH03000; etc gets no response. It is either broken or mis-documented. The ZZTL; command for setting the TX Filter Low exhibits the same behavior, you can read it but you can't set it. These results are not all that surprising based on my experience with the PowerSDR CAT commands. It appears that the commands get documented, more or less, but it also appears that nobody ever tests the commands to see if they actually work.

[Flexradio] Trouble playing back the recorder spectrum
I tried this on both F5K and F1.5K and get same results Spectrum Recording procedure - Click 'Wave' on the menu (in PWRSDR) to open the Wave Panel - Set TX Gain 0 dB - Click 'Quick Rec' button to start recording (turns Yellow) - Click the 'Quick Rec' button again and it stops recording (turns White) - A message pops up telling you the location and file name. (SDRQuickAudio.wav) Note: if you intent to keep the recording make a copy ASAP before doing a new recording since it will be overwritten Playback of the Frequency Spectrum Open the 'Wave' panel Click 'Add' on the Play-list Browse to the recording of interest and click 'Open' The file will be added to the playlist Hit the 'Play' (or Quick Play) button in Playback to play the spectrum back. (button turns Yellow) Description of problem - see a something like a double sideband displayed in the spectrum display. Could this be the I/Q signals? - I do not see the spectrum display I saw when I was recording - when I tune to one of these (side-bands??) I hear the station that the rig was tuned to while recording Question - What is the problem?

Not sure what the purpose is for the button except to confuse the innocent (me). May be there is a better explanation.. If anyone knows please let me know John, ve3dvv = John, here is my setup for CW-Skimmer. Of course, the first thing to do is get DDUtil and VAC set up and working, as you must do in any event with any Flex installation. On the DDUtil RCP screen, I have RCP2 set to a virtual port whose other side connects to CWS (more info below). On that same screen, connect CWS to a different virtual port. Then on CW-Skimmer settings (ViewSettings), go to the Radio page and choose SoftRock-IF, 48 Khz. Set CW pitch to 600 and Audio IF to 9600 Hz. On the Audio page set soundcard driver to MME, Signal Device to the VAC line that is connected to PSDR's audio OUT, and Audio device to the VAC line that is connected to PSDR's audio IN. On the CW-Skimmer CAT page, click Use Radio 2 (TS-2000), then press Configure. Under Configure, set the port to the other half of the RCP port mentioned above. I don't claim this setup is the only one possible, but it works great for me. In particular, it allows you to see both VFOA and VFOB when working split. This is really the whole point of CW-Skimmer, is to figure out which guy in the pileup the DX station is listening to. Of course, you need to have tuning wheels for VFOA and VFOB -- mouse tuning in a split DX pileup really leaves you at a hopeless disadvantage to your competitors. I use the Hercules interface to control PSDR; again, I don't claim it's the only way, but it works great for me. Good luck with CW-Skimmer -- it can be pretty helpful in a big pile. 73, Tony KT0NY -- ___ 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] Preamp and VAC on F-1500 and F-5000
When using WSPR with VAC I find the behavior of the PRE-AMP on the F1K5 confusing. If I add +10 dB in the pre-amp the VAC Out signal going to WSPR increases also 10dB. This does not happen on the F5K were the S/N ratio slightly changes (when I turn the preamp or off) but not the VAC out level. Is this correct operation on the F1K5? I always believed the pre-amp should only effect the S/N ratio. I would like someone knowledgeable on the subject to comment.

[Flexradio] Remembering ATU setting by band
With RC1 I don't see that the ATU when checked on a band is remembered when I switch bands. I normally had the ATU on on 80M and off on the other bands. Now if I turn ATU on 80, then switch to any other band and come back to 80M the setting is gone. Also when exiting PSDR and later reloading it the setting is gone. Has this operation been changed or am I dreaming??

[Flexradio] More V/U on F5K power meter questions (John Vandenberg)
To bad the swr /power meter is not build in on the V/U addon. Another question: Is any other way possible to add it? May be by using a mutilexer in front of the existing A/D for use of power metering? If we have to have an external solution: Question: Are there any other SWR heads (low cost) with USB hookup (could be without a display) and feed the info into PWRSDR (Virtual com) for processing and display it in the regular meter display. The pickup could be hidden under the table and we don't need more deskspace. May be if not already done may be a small project could be made with a small pic or other processor.

[Flexradio] ROS digital mode question
Using Win7-32 with F5Ka and wanting to try ROS. I downloaded ROS v4.8.8 (hhtp:\\rosmodem.wordpress.com) When I click on Ros Install in (Admin) the installer comes up and then says Ros Installed succesfully. Problem is I cannot find it. When I installed it it created \Program Files\Afreet\OmniRig which allows you to make some (com) port selections. Questions: - does ROS work under Win7? (there was no option in install to try install it in a different location) - in OmniRig specified com16 and have com 15 going to RPC3 in DDUtil. Is this correct? - Anyone use the program with PSDR?

[Flexradio] Warnings with Multiband antennas on Field Day
Here is my FD experience: Had prepared a muti-fan dipole antenna (paralled dipoles with single feedline) for 40-20-15-10-6m and tested it at home suscesfully with the F5Ka. Problems on Field Day: Since we were A4 (4 HF stations) we had other stations nearby. I experienced a lot of baseline-noice pumping (abt.20-25DB) due to overload from the 40m phone station. (we shared the same tree (on one side) as a ty-point for our antennas. The antennas were on right angles. However I had expected this and figured I could just get on another band away from the 40m. However I had the same baseline pumping on 20-15-10 and 6 meters. As it turned out I could not work any band. After a lot of head scratching I figured out the problem. Since all the fanned dipoles share the same feedline, the 40m overload on the front end was still present at the antenna terminals of the F5Ka no matter what band I operated including 6m. So the solution was to dump the Fanned Dipole. I replaced the the multi band antenna with a single band 20m dipole and had no more overload problems. I started to work PSK31 low in the band and had no problems, even that a 20m phone stations was transmitting nearby (same tree shared) about 180KHz higher in frequency. However the joy was only one sided. It did not take long before the owner of the Icom 756 Pro-III ( the 20m phone station) came over to complain about interference. He now experienced the baseline pumping on his rig. Since he ran 100W on transmit and I was doing 75W I concluded that that the Flex 5K had a superior front end. Anyone having any specs on these rigs for dynamic range to back this up? Moral of the story: Do NOT use a multi band antenna on FD unless you are working by yourself far away from other transmitting stations!

Teamviewer, which I have been using for some time as a remote dektop, was upgraded with some new features. I had not tried them until a couple months ago, but the one that is real exciting is the fact that they now have a VoIP tunnel. This allows a VoIP audio connection between your Flex desktop and the remote computer. Previously you had to use Skype or IPsound (I have used both) to make your audio connection, but now that is not necessary. The audio is fantastic. I never liked Skype audio, and preferred IPsound. The IPsounf program had too many issues with it. If a knowledge base document would help the group, I would be willing to write one for the good of the cause.

[Flexradio] Macro request for VAC driver
Not sure how to petition the programmer for this. Bob Tracy Background To switch from one mode setup to another when settings are involved, BandWith, Frequency etc becomes tiresome after a while. To help in this I use Macros in DDUtil. Some are straight forward such as MMSSTV and EasyPal which I have implemented. However to add DRM mode (using Dream.exe) I need to change the VAC driver. There is currently no Macro for this. When changing the driver in PowerSDR manualy with Setup the VAC channels change as well. There are no Macros for these eighter that I could find. Other digital Modes such as WSJT need these abilities as well.. When properly setup changing from one mode to another becomes very simple. Just clicking the Macro button. I am sure many other users would benefit from these macros as well.

I want to find out how to setup DDUTIL to send bits to the control box. There is no translation to BCD required. Bits 0 to 4 select ant1 to ant5. There is one extra bit 7 to enable the old Drake L4B AMP. Also need to find out how to read the HF band on PowerSDR and send the corresponding bit to the control box.

Re: [Flexradio] FlexRadio Digest, Vol 53, Issue 9
Yesterday I tweaked the Services using the list from Neil I found in the archives. It did not fix the problems. Today I flashed the Bios (was VER: 0206) to V0601 and just started to test. The first program I loaded after FLEX hung PSDR. I tried a second time loading the program and it hung again. After this it appeared stable (much more than before). I did some Explorer browsing and that appeared ok. I will let it run 24 hours catching pictures with MMSTV and will give an updated report later. Thanks for the Help.

[Flexradio] DRM and Flex Part II
Mel said: The data for the decoded audio is in the Main Service Channel (MSC) which is the far right led on the opening GUI. I Cannot find it in my Dream (V1.6.1cvs). Also Sound card selection other then FlexRadio audio does not seem to work at all. John ve3dvv CI began broadcasting at 2100 UTC on 9.8 mHz today. I am using the SDR1000, so those of you with the SDR5K or SDR3K will need to share your successful settings. My settings: (DRM Program) Sound Card Selection Sound In M-Audio Delta 44 Multi Sound Card Selection Sound Out M-Audio Delta 44 Multi My settings (SDR1K) Mode: DRM or SAM VAC: None AF: Mute Enabled Filter Width: 10 kHz I've uploaded the DRM files and a current .pdf Sked of DRM programs for the use of Flexers here: http://tinyurl.com/flex-DRM Incidentally, I typically have 40 processes or more, going at the same time, including the Flex console. CPU usage averages 20% or less. I never have any glitches in the performance of the SDR1K, or computer crashes running WinXP on a Windows box running at 3G, with 2G RAM. Flex Process Priority is set to High. Flex Audio Buffer is set to 1024 with sample rate of 48,000. DSP Buffer is set to 4096 and 2048 for Phone and Digital. Windows was optimized using instructions I found in the Knowledge Base. Good luck. Brian +++ The data for the decoded audio is in the Main Service Channel (MSC) which is the far right led on the opening GUI. It must be on to hear any audio. Under sound card selection in dream, sound out normally is your PC's sound card (i.e. connected to your speakers). You only need VAC for audio IN to dream (vac cable 2 for sound in). Mel, k0pfx +++ Try taking it off VAC and reconfigure to use your internal sound card. de Mike, K6ZSR +++ Tnx Brian. I have downloaded and installed the program. I noticed I have to start Dream before starting PSDR or it will abort (F5K). Under settings I selected FlexRadio Audio for both Input and Output. Not sure if that is correct or do I have to setup a VAC? Went to 9.405Mhz to listen, but there was no transmissions. Is there a schedule? John ve3dvv +++ [Flexradio] DRM and Flex The program works great. Put PowerSDR/5000A into DRM mode and decodes much better than SAM. Mike +++ I have DREAM receiving Vatican Radio on my 5000 at 9.755mhz in PSDR DRM mode. The DREAM display level is about -15db, the display on the left says Vatican Radio 14.48kb EEP AAC+ Mono. The box on the right side has various changing information. However I never get any audio. The same goes for TDP at 9.790. In the settings box sound in is virtual cable 2 and sound out is virtual cable 1. Anyone have any thoughts as to why I am not getting any audio?

They were once readily available online, but, I've noticed it's difficult to find them with a simple search, so I uploaded them for Flexer's convenience at the URL below. This program is for Windows, and it works well with the SDR1000, Win XP Pro, Flex PowerSDR 1.18.2, on a 3 gHz, Pentium 4 single core machine, 32 bit, using 2GB of RAM. http://tinyurl.com/mcrwmq I listen to DRM on the Sackville, NB relay of Radio Canada International on 9.8 mHz. You'll recognize DRM because it sounds like digital hash (white noise) and it looks like a 10 kHz wide, flat-top, digital signal in the Flex panadapter. Unzip the DRM files into a folder called DRM and click DRM.exe which will open the program. Tune in the DRM signal with your Flex radio. I have the best results using the SAM mode with a 10 kHz filter, centered on the DRM signal. Set up your soundcard to decode the signal in your DRM program preferences. If the signal is strong enough, you should be able to decode the DRM signal. When using my SDR1000, I mute the Flex Console. It takes quite a bit of signal (-75 dBm or more) to decode DRM successfully. Good Luck!

[Flexradio] Flex,Vac and Easypal
Tnx Jim... I am still confused. Do you recommand setting EasyPal under Setup/Soundcard to the same VAC settings as Ham Radio Deluxe/DM780 ? When I just install EasyPal and don't configure it I can monitor both DM780/SSTV and EasyPal. As soon as I try setting EasyPal to RX=Vac1 and TX=Vac2 (your setup) EasyPal stops monitoring. BTW using 07/FEB/09 version. On the FLEX I have VFO A set at 14.230 and VFO B at 14.233 so I only need to select the AB button to change frequency. Both SSTV and EASYPal are already running To John... All I am doing is, when I use EasyPal..I use the rx is the output from PSDR (ie: =vac 2 is input in PSDR and Vac1 is Output in PSDR) and the Output of EasyPal is the input of PSDR... IF PSDR is: Input Vac2 and Output is Vac1 then EasyPal is RX=Vac1 and TX=Vac2 . Do not expect to see the txmitted signal on the easypal waterfall. Hope that helps. KJ7S Jim I installed EasyPal, but I am not clear if I need to add more virtual cables. At moment I am using Virtual Cable 1 and 2 for HRD. Any help will be appreciated.
