Re: [Flexradio] a future feature - digital mode id displayed on the panadapter
Hi Jim, use Google (or your favorite search engine) and look up the term Cognitive Computing. Frank AB2KT has written papers about Cognitive Computing and how it might be used in Ham Radio to automatically classify signals. I believe he presented a paper about that topic at the Dayton 2008 Flex meeting. You can probably find it in the Flex KB.

Alan posted this Feature Request #2120 in March. http://support.flex-radio.com/ReviewBug.aspx?id=2120it=F; Report Detail: The Tune function would be considerably enhanced if the user could select a pulse mode. Tuning a Linear amplifier with a low duty cycle pulse instead of a constant carrier has great advantages. While examining the RF output on a scope setup to display a trapezoid, the amplifier may safely be driven to full power as long as needed and tuned for best linearity. Tuning at full power is the most accurate way! With duty cycles less then 20% the amplifier will never overheat. Finally, if QSK were available ( like break-in CW) and the 5000 could switch to receive during the 80% off time, one could actually hear what's going on on the tuneup frequency! Keeps user out of trouble.. Three menu settings should be included. 1. Pulse rate -# of pulses per second from 8 to 24 2. ON Pulse width -for setting ON Pulse duration from 1 to 20 milliseconds 3. Mode select -continuous or pulsed. Changes mode color of TUN button on front panel. 73, Alan Davis K2WS --- ___ 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.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/

Re: [Flexradio] Time for an upgrade!
I recommend that all multi-core enthusiasts use this free utility from Ed in Chicago: http://www.geocities.com/edgemeal_software/ It allows you to assign any application to any core and keeps it that way. So if you run multiple applications, you can separate them and hope that the Operating System has enough cycles to do fast context switching without a DPC penality :-) http://kb.flex-radio.com/article.aspx?id=10445 GL de Ken N9VV [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You'd think that two processor cores running side by side would surely be faster than a single core right? And four cores working simultaneously would certainly run circles around it? Well no, only if the application that you are running is multithreaded and thus can take advantage of the extra cores - remember that about 99% of all software available today is programmed to run on a single core processor. Hence it isn't multithreaded and thus in the vast majority of cases you won't see a speed up, as the second, third or fourth core is just sitting there idling, or handling simple operating system tasks that don't eat up a lot of processing power in the first place.

After working a few Southern stations on the FM Repeaters at 29.640/.540 and 29.680/.580 mHz, I thought I'd listen on 6 meters. SIX was open! and I could hear stations in the deep South - even on an F12 C31-XR tribander. I don't have a resonant antenna for 6 meters, but best results were obtained using the F12 240-N Magnum 40 meter 2 element array at 70ft- no kidding. Using the 240-N, the signal to noise was best and the SWR was under 1.5 : 1. I could hear the band noise increase when I switched in the 40 meter array! Like a new ham, I gave it a try.

[Flexradio] [OT] article about SDR cell phones
Good press for SDR: http://slashdot.org/articles/07/09/23/0024219.shtml September 23, 2007 Prototype Software That Fills a Cellphone Gap By MICHAEL FITZGERALD VANU BOSE is the son of a fabled engineer, but he garnered no mercy when he presented his big idea at a technical conference in 1996. Mr. Bose’s graduate work at M.I.T. involved using software to handle the radio function in a cellular phone. He remembers that after he successfully demonstrated his technology, an audience member stood up and dismissed it with: “Congratulations! You’ve just invented the world’s most expensive cellphone.” Mr. Bose, a personable man, shrugged off the criticism. He expected that over time, the increasing processing speed of chips would make such phones much cheaper. But he didn’t want to make the phones. He wanted to remake the wireless base station, the guts of the world’s cellular networks, by changing them from complex systems that incorporate hardware, software and the electronics needed for wireless communications into systems run primarily with software. Most of us don’t think of our cellphones as radios, but they are. Any wireless device uses a radio. Figuring out a way to operate the radio with software has obvious potential advantages: for one, it’s easier and cheaper to upgrade software than it is to send field technicians to cellular towers to add components. And a software-based radio — the industry calls it software-defined radio — could handle multiple cellular signals at the same time, the way a computer can run a browser, a word processor and a spreadsheet all at once. So, in theory, letting cellular companies accommodate new spectrum or technologies by doing software upgrades could expand coverage and services while possibly reducing what we pay for them. That promise prompted Mr. Bose to start a company in 1998, while he was still in graduate school. He called it Vanu Inc. (The family surname was already in use: his father, Amar, had founded the Bose Corporation in 1964.) The company bumped along primarily on military contracts for developing software-based radio devices. (The armed forces typically use different kinds of radios but need them all to talk to one another, which has prompted two large research projects, Speakeasy and the current Joint Tactical Radio System.) Then, as cheap semiconductor technology caught up with the needs of his software, he was able to pursue commercial markets. He now has several customers for the company’s AnyWave wireless base stations for cellphone networks. Mr. Bose is not the first to pursue converting radios to software. The idea had been developed in the late 1980s, and Joseph Mitola, an engineer now at the Mitre Corporation, a research organization, is credited with being the first to discuss an effective software radio architecture, at a conference in 1991. Well-established companies like Motorola and Ericsson now use elements of software-defined radio for their base stations. But Mr. Bose was the first to come to market with software that could handle multiple networks with the same equipment. Software radio appears to offer an elegant solution to what has been a vexing problem: how to have a single handset, like a cellphone, communicate across multiple networks. For instance, the G.S.M. standard, for global system for mobile communications, is used broadly in Europe, and most notably in the United States by ATT. But it does not work with phones built for the C.D.M.A. standard, for code division multiple access, that is used in the United States by Verizon and others and is popular in South Korea. So, as a Verizon cellphone user, when I spent several weeks in England this summer, I was instructed to rent a phone from Vodafone. It took several attempts over several days to get my calls to forward from my Verizon number, and I paid for two phones for the better part of a month. Mr. Bose’s software makes it possible for the network to switch modes automatically. While the AnyWave Base Station still includes components like wireless transmitters and receivers, the company ultimately would like to focus on selling its software to other businesses that build base stations. That would position Vanu to become “the Microsoft of the wireless base station industry,” said Bruce Sachs, a general partner at Charles River Ventures, which recently put money into an $8 million funding round for Vanu. Mr. Sachs says that the market for base stations is worth billions of dollars by itself and that as cellular operators upgrade over time to technologies like WiMax or H.S.D.P.A., for high-speed downlink packet access, wireless markets worldwide will be open to Vanu. There is also potential for markets that are just emerging, like that for “femto cells.” (In mathematics, a femto is a quadrillionth.) The cells will plug into a power outlet and bolster cellular coverage for a home or business. But that is in

Re: [Flexradio] Virtual Serial Port alternative
Hi Bob, I am one of the happy campers who enjoys using vCOM every day without any problems. The Eltima product might be an expensive solution looking for a problem. I use vCOM for both CAT connectivity (6-16 pair) and CW keying (7-17 pair) between MixW and PowerSDR. I have used vCOM with EasyPal digital SSTV and other digi programs without a glitch. vCOM has worked faithfully for several years (since 2005) http://www.philcovington.com/SDR.html I want to thank Phil Covington for his generous contribution of vCOM along with: # .NET 1.1 Serial Port Support Class # .NET 1.1 Socket Utilities Class # Serial to TCP Bridge # SharpDSP Console for the Softrock # The beautiful live analog S-Meter (patterned after John KC5NRA) # XML serialization for PowerSDR # SharpDevelop alternative compiler examples and demonstration # Mono testing and exploration # His innumerable contributions to Mercury and HPSDR # His new QuickSilver VERB DDC design # and now SharpDSP2 for the QuickSilver de ken n9vv Robert McGwier wrote: vCom has served us very well indeed thanks to Phil and as always, the price was indeed right. Many experience drop outs of the serial lines between your external programs and the PowerSDR. I have looked for an alternative to vCom for quite a while that might fix this issue since I could monitor ports and see that all applications were still talking and that the vCom ports were becoming black holes. Closing and opening fixed the problem but this is not an acceptable solution. For those of you who are new to PowerSDR and Flex radio, there are no wires between your logging and rotor and contesting programs and the radio. It is done VIRTUALLY inside the computer. The virtual glue we have been using is vCom. I am recommending an alternative, VSPD, if you find yourself having trouble with vCom. Unfortunately, there is no really usable free alternative I can find. Development on all of this was stymied when we were going to move to Visual Studio 2005 and .NET 2.0 but developmental delays have prevented this. I want every SDR-1000 and Flex 5000 to have the best possible experience with their radio so I wish to recommend an alternative that is NOT free. You can download it and try it for 14 days and prove to yourself that you no longer have drop outs. http://www.eltima.com/products/vspdxp/ http://www.eltima.com/de/products/vspdxp/ I recommend if you download the trial version, you unload vCom (this is easy) and load this as a replacement for the fourteen days it is free to use. Unlike VAC, it will not start shouting by me now but will just say it is time for you to purchase when you try to open the control panel. I have run this product now for two months since it was recommended to me by someone here to try. I believe that was Ken, N9VV, but I am uncertain. If it was Ken, thank you, if it was not Ken, my apologies for not writing down who it was. Here are the things I do know. I have not had a virtual serial port drop out in two months. I have not had the occasional other problems that I believe were associated with vCom. The product is not cheap. It is a flat $100.00 for a single copy. If 21 of you band together, it is $50.00 each. I can recommend it as wonderfully easy to use, as easy as vCom. The GUI is no more functional that vCom but VSPD has more capabilities than vCom which you can find out by trying it yourself for a free 14 day trial. I spent the $100 to make sure it was sound before I recommended it. I can. 73's Bob N4HY -- What a fantastic time to be in Ham Radio! ___ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/

I put together a few pictures of what the new packaging looks like. It is solid and well thought out. There are surprises in the box. I know you will be as thrilled as I was to receive your new FLEX-5000 http://www.n9vv.com/FLEX-5000-arrives-N9VV.html First impressions: - o The rig is heavy and solidly built. I thought it would be about like the SDR-1000. It is much more solid and has really professional attention to details. o I never listened to WWV on 15Mhz because my Jupiter couldn't hear it. I can now click through ALL the WWV stations on 2,5,10,15, and even 20Mhz with the FLEX-5000. o The preamp comes on automatically on the higher bands and the audio stays exactly where you put it for best listening. o Setup is so easy that you will think you missed something. Hook up some powerpole connectors, your speakers, an antenna, and a Firewire cable to your PC and you are all set to enjoy your new rig. There is no more XG-1 signal level, image, or frequency adjustments! those adjustments are all done at the factory now. o My new rig has been on PSK31 and CW and has not missed a beat. I was always impressed with my SDR-1000.

Re: [Flexradio] any one comprared 1k 5k to ic 7800 or ft 2000
Hi Elan, if you or a buddy are members of the ARRL, you can view all their product reviews. The ARRL has thoroughly tested the IC-7800, the FT-2000 and the SDR-1000. I believe the ARRL Laboratory tests will be a much more reliable starting point than any subjective judgment based on a single ham's hearing, ANT, PC, sound card or FA-66, and skill in setting up PowerSDR. One method you might consider is finding a Ham in your area who already has an SDR-1000 setup and operational with a good quality sound subsystem. You can tune and operate his station and have first hand experience. Have you asked the FLEX email list for a reference to someone in your part of the world?

Re: [Flexradio] Manual notch filter?
Interestingly, in the digi world (PSK31) both HamScope and MixW have notch filters built right into their waterfall's. You simply right click on the offending signal and notch it out (up to about 40db I think). de ken n9vv [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I agree a manual notch filter would be useful and would be even better if you could right click the offending signal when in panadapter display and have a selection to apply notch filter. Also it should be available in other modes as well as CW. Just some wishful thinking :-) Dave WO2X I've advocated that there be some kind of quiver of manual notch filters that you could drag and drop over the offending signals. Unlike conventional notch filters, they would stay in place until you dragged them off the panadapter or spectrum displays wherever you could place them. I also suggested it look kind of like an arrow so there was room at the top of the gadget to use the scroll wheel (after a click on the top) to adjust the notch's width. The right click isn't the right solution, because it's already tied up in the very important click-to-vfo functionality. Larry Wo0Z PS, an interesting use for a manual notch that has just occurred to me and could be SDR specific would be to informally create a comb filter for RTTY. I don't know if one always would want one, but there have been times where overlapping RTTY signals have made me wish for a comb, but maybe this sort of feature would be enough in terms of having it. I don't know if I'd want a full time comb filter for RTTY because one can tune well enough without a perfect shift. Start tossing in a comb filter and more precise tuning is probably needful. ___ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ ___ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
[Flexradio] N4HY + K5SDR defend Ham Radio at FCC
We Hams owe Bob N4HY and Gerald K5SDR a standing ovation at the next public meeting! Bob and Gerald defended Ham Radio when the FCC rules for SDR (Software Defined Radio) and CDR (Cognitive Defined Radio) were being formulated. The Federal Register stands as a testament to the power of their persuasive and well articulated arguments in front of such a demanding audience. In the message below, Bob recounts some of the encounter with the FCC. Raise your glasses and join me in a hearty toast to Bob and Gerald for their unselfish work on behalf of us all. Original Message Date: Mon, 09 Jul 2007 11:13:59 -0400 From: Robert McGwier [EMAIL PROTECTED] * High Performance Software Defined Radio Discussion List * Gerald Youngblood and I went to the F.C.C. and we gave a talk and discussed their proposed rule making. I believe you can see the impact we had throughout this document thought I don't claim we wrote any piece of it. We pleaded for them to not get in the way of a successful move of amateur radio into the almost inevitable future where larger pieces of it were done digitally with software and cognitive radios. We proved then, and we have continued to supply them and the ARRL CTO with information (ammunition) that shows amateur radio operators are doing INNOVATIVE development that is simply not being done elsewhere and much of it in SDR and CDR. One of the best papers you can find anywhere on the foundations for CDR (the mathematical tools) is in QEX and written by Frank Brickle, AB2KT! In the end, they told us that if amateur radio SDR's did not self police and provide transmit frequency protection, and removal of completely automatic scanning outside of amateur bands that we were likely to face serious certification of a type that would not be affordable. Now I know that faced with this, we could come up with open source means of authentication that would pass, but the expense would be onerous. I personally might personally be in serious trouble if I attempted to provide this. In the end, I think we are simply going to have to live with small pieces of firmware at a minimum that prevent unauthorized use of amateur SDR equipment outside of the amateur bands. Yes, we argued strongly that almost all amateur radio equipment could be easily modified to transmit out of band. I offered to bring in an unmodified transceiver and modify it in less than five minutes to show how easy it typically was. I was told that I should not volunteer to commit a crime on federal property and that they were aware of this. The F.C.C. is responding to external pressure from all sorts of quarters from the White House to commercial entities like Cisco to NTIS, and the intelligence community as well as D.O.D. The schizophrenic aspects of this are almost ludicrous. You find one D.O.D. office wanting to support you, buy yours toys, help you help them, and another wanting to kill the entire effort. It is bewildering. Given this order, which is now enforceable law since it was placed in the Federal Register, I expect more radio manufacturers to look at this order and jump into the SDR world more completely. I think that, overall, with these competing pressures, the F.C.C. struck a reasonable balance between the hysteria on the parts of some and the desires to reinvigorate amateur radio in particular but radio development in general in the U.S. One only has to visit places like the Wireless group at V.P.I. and other places to realize that S.D.R. and C.D.R. are having a major impact on the new engineers and communications scientists being trained at many universities. When Frank Brickle and I gave our S.D.R. course last fall, we had HALF of the entire senior electrical engineering class take the course and they did not know us from Adam's house cat and many were graduating, so it was a risk. That was impressive, not to mention a fantastic time. http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2007/01/24/101/?nc=1 73's Bob N4HY ___ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/

Re: [Flexradio] sorry, 1 more question
Hi Frank, perhaps you are confusing the three available distributions. Each is accessed using a different and unique path in TortoiseSVN.

Re: [Flexradio] audio punch
I would like to jump in and ask about real-world measurements. From what I hear on the air, most guys rely on the *totally subjective* assessment of another Ham to tell them about their audio. This is great if the Receiving Ham is a talented audiophile but what about his *hearing*, his *speakers* or *headphones*, his *receiver* and his *ears* ? - So instead, how about using the *SWEEP* function in the PowerSDR *TEST* tab to generate a known range of frequencies from 50hz to 4000hz (or your upper limit is) and have the other ham make a screen dump of his panadapter so you can actually SEE WHAT HE IS RECEIVING? - Perhaps some enterprising and talented Flexer can setup a UltraVNC server to show us his Rx panadapter live so we can contact his station and see the full effect of COMPRESSION, COMPANDERS, EQUALIZERS, and outboard equipment. - Would the sweep in any way simulate a real voice? or does the test need to be more sophisticated? - Or course when the FLEX-5000 is released, it will display a real world picture of both Tx and Rx simultaneously using the new FULL DUPLEX capabilities. Then you can see, hear, and adjust in real time and know exactly what each adjustment is accomplishing. - tnx for reading, BK de Ken N9VV ___ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/

Re: [Flexradio] [SPAM] I got ssb working but...
Hi Bill, the Noise Gate is not ANTI-VOX. It can be enabled with or without VOX. Please check the Operating Manual page 48: GATE: click to enable the Noise Gate and adjust its level with either the slider or the textbox. See also the Setup Form-Transmit Tab. When transmitting, a bar graph will show just below the slider control. The green part of this bar graph shows the portion of the sound level that will not open the Noise Gate; the red part the portion that will. The level should be adjusted such that ambient noise will not open the Noise Gate, but a normal voice level will. Hint: The Noise Gate can (and should) be enabled in all situations where ambient noise will render your transmissions less clear, irrespective of whether VOX is engaged. Ken FireBrick wrote: I looked through teh KB, but didn't see anything like this. I've followed the ediro manual and some profiles and have SSB working. Not perfect but it does sound ok using the MIX to hear myself. One issue, whether VOX or MOX, there is a slight time issue, a hum and then the xmit drops. I can't find where to cut that time down If contesting or dxing, it would be long enough to cause problem So...in VOX or MOX, I transmit, and then either stop talking or click MOX, I hear a hum for a couple micro secs, and then the SDR goes back to receive.
