Re: [Flexradio] response
The new web forum, when you ask a question it will search the archives looking for similar posts to reduce the number of times a questioned is answered. You can skip this step and just submit your question. Most of the content on the web forum is for the 6000, I'm not sure why there is not more conversation about the 5000/3000 but I do see a few questions on the 1500. People have been responsive and the flex staff posts there too. -Larry _ From: Bill and Sue ope...@rcn.com Sent: Montag, Februar 9, 2015 12:42 vorm.

[Flexradio] New 1500 install trouble
Hello group - proud owner of a new Flex 1500 but having some install issues. I'm running a Mac PowerBook 8gb ram, dual core, with win7 64 and PowerSDR 2.3.5. Upon plugging in the 1500's USB port and powering on the radio, windows 7 started searching for a driver. It found two drivers but failed to find two others. The windows dialog shows one USB Composite Device and four Flex-1500 devices. Three of the 1500 devices failed with No driver found while the last Flex-1500 device says Flex 1500 Software Defined Radio ready to use. So - not sure if that's a failure or a success but since it said the flex was ready I started PowerSDR and see the flex radio chooser. The Flex 1500 is not on the list but my Flex 3000 and 5000 (with their serial numbers showing) are. So - I think the USB is connected since the driver recognized the radio but PowerSDR is not able to see the 1500 and let me select it. Suggestions on next steps?

Re: [Flexradio] New 1500 install trouble

Re: [Flexradio] Problem with Flex 3000 antenna tuner
I had something similar with my 3000 with an much older version of PowerSDR - I'm including the text from that issue to see if it helps you diagnose the problem. I picked up a F5K a while later and noticed RF getting into the audio loop (using heil PR-781 and balanced line in) - I put a balun at the G5RV feed point and that cured the shack RF issue and I believe I did not have any more issues with the 3K tuner either. I also switched to the Granite Digital firewire cable. -Larry From Larry: *Using Trunk 1.18.1 SVN 2920 and Driver 3.4.0.5254 and Flex 3K. After the first failed attemp to find a match (ATU button turns red) subsequent attempt to use ATU on any band regardless of antenna match results in the ATU clicking twice and then no more relay sounds but rig stays in transmit while the power out slider toggles between 0 and 10 watts (no relay sounds what so ever) and the ATU will turn red and rig goes back to RX - so basically the ATU acts like its going through the motions in software but the F3K relays are silent while the ATU completes its cycle. The only way to get the ATU functional again is to powre off the F3K and power it back up. I can reproduce this every time and I believe I've had this issue since day one with the F3K. I would expect that after a failed match I would be able to continue to use the ATU on another band without cycling F3K power.* From Flex: *We have been working at trying to duplicate the ATU lock out, but so far unsuccessful. I can find a frequency where the SWR is above 4:1, receive the RED no tune, and immediately retry again the ATU goes through the cycle again..Now once on 6 meters it totally locked up, but this was due to excessive RF into the computer FireWire cable. An extra clamp on choke keeps that from happening again..I have also been successful in retuning after the ATU does stop.. * * * *Another aid that might help is if you do a ctrl-shift-A on the keyboard, this will bring up the ATU tuning metering, maybe this will help in seeing what the tuner is doing.. * * * *Also be sure to reset the database, there possibly might be something in the database causing an issue there.. The ATU background program is under continuous improvment as issues and enhansements are added.. * * * *Another thought is maybe it's RF getting into the FireWire subsystem, maybe move the ferrite beads to the computer end rather than the radio end.. * * * *Let us know,* On Mon, Jan 10, 2011 at 8:54 PM, alanz...@comcast.net wrote: I am new to this list, so forgive me if this topic has been discussed before. I am running a Flex 3000 with PSDR 2.016 on a HP quad core computer with on-board firewire port. I am very favorably impressed by the radio, although I am having an intermittent problem with the built-in antenna tuner. Generally the tuner works quite well on either of my low-band antenna's ( a big horizontal loop and an inverted L cut for 160 meter CW). From time to time, the antenna tuner fails to find a match at any frequency and proceeds to time out with the appropriate error message displayed. Repeated attempts will not find a better match. Closing and restarting PSDR does not seem to help. I have placed ferrite chokes on all leads into and out of the Flex. I have discovered that if I close PSDR and turn of the radio for 15 seconds or so, I can restart the radio and computer, and the antenna tuner now works perfectly for an indefinite period of time. The key seems to be turning off the radio. The only other problem I am having is that PSDR seems to lock-up intermittently. There is no pattern to this that I can discern. I suspected that the firewire cable was making intermittent contact with the computer, but I have been unable to prove this. One other question: has anyone been able to use the Flex 3000 successfully with an external keyer. I would love to use my Idiom Press K3 with the Flex, but the timing issues interfere even when I reduce the buffer size in PSDR and in the firewire driver to 256 bytes. I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Re: [Flexradio] FlexRadio Headsets
Is it really possible to make an hc4 sound like an hc5? The hc4 has a low end roll-off at 600hz while the hc5 rolls off at 300hz. I don't think the eq can emphasize something that's not there however maybe it is possible to attenuate the low end of the hc5 to get an hc4 like sound. -Larry On Apr 9, 2010, at 6:40, Ray - K9DUR k9...@rnacs.com wrote: Sheldon, I have used the Proset Plus w/HC-4 HC-5 elements since my SDR-1000 days. Here are my thoughts on the subject. The iC element is a condenser microphone element that requires a bias voltage to operate. While the FLEX-3000/FLEX-5000 support that, under the theory that simpler is better, I would dismiss any thoughts of using the iC element. Whether you use the HC-4 element or the HC-5 element depends upon your operating style. The HC-4 has extra boost in the mid to upper AF frequencies to enhance intelligibility in crowded band conditions such as DX pile-ups, or contests. The HC-5 has more of a full-range frequency response. I bought the Proset Plus because I thought I wanted the flexibility of switching between the 2 elements. In practice, I never switch elements. I am primarily a contester/DX'er so it is always set to the HC-4 element. Also, with the equalizer built into PowerSDR, you can easily use either element make it sound like the other. Bottom line: If I were to do it again, I would save the extra money buy a Proset w/HC-4 element. If I ever wanted the more flat frequency response of the HC-5, I would simply set it up in the PowerSDR equalizer. If you prefer, you could get the HC-5 element set the equalizer to emulate the HC-4 when you wanted the extra punch in the audio. 73, Ray, K9DUR http://k9dur.info ___ 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/ ___ 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] F5K balanced line-in -vs- front mic connector
Thanks all. Doing a little reading on balanced vs unbalanced it seems that the balanced line will give me some immunity to line noise that I would not get on the unbalanced mic input (front of F5K) so I assume this is the biggest reason to go with the balanced line input? Any recommendations on audio amps that are working well with the F5K? I expect some are using the W2IHY gear for this? 73s Larry 2010/1/4 Tim Ellison telli...@itsco.com You do not need a mic preamp to use the balanced line-in; the PR-781 will work fine without one, but you will probably have to have the mixer and mic input gain turned up towards the upper end of the settings to get enough signal to drive the phone input to 0 dB. I have a PR-40 and it worked fine without a mic preamp, but I chose to use one so that I had a bit more headroom for the AF input and it also utilizes a tube amplifier stage so it has a warmer sound. So using a mic preamp is mostly a personal preference thing. -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Larry da Ponte Sent: Monday, January 04, 2010 1:32 AM To: Dudley Hurry Cc: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] F5K balanced line-in -vs- front mic connector Reading the 5K doc it suggest using a mic preamp when using this connection - so will I need a preamp with the PR-781?

David, For starters, there is no new firmware for the released version of PowerSDR 1.18.3. It is still 1.3.0.8 for the FLEX-5000 and 1.2.5.6 for the FLEX-3000. You will have to update your firmware when you install v2.0.0. In order to do that, you must be running v3.5.0.7171 of the Firewire driver. This is a new Firewire driver and it is 100% compatible with PowerSDR v1.18.3 and the latest firmware. There are some stability and performance improvements in the new Firewire driver along with a utility to check out the Firewire card to see if it is 100% compatible with the FLEX Firewire driver. I recommend that all users of FLEX-x000 software defined radios upgrade to the new Firewire driver at their convenience so that you will be prepared for the new version of PowerSDR due out in the next several weeks (if testing continues to go well). When upgrading the Firewire driver, it is *very* important that one follows the instructions in the following KB article to the letter. http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50137.aspx I would install PowerSDR v1.18.3 in the mean time.

Here is a firmware update tip, after you update the radio firmware, it's a good ideal to cycle the power on the radio before bringing up PowerSDR. The firmware sometimes does not get a complete Reset after updating (that is the relay clicks when the firmware finishes updating) 73, Dudley WA5QPZ gafenw...@att.net wrote: Tim, I feel very dumb, but I don't fully understand what you are saying here. you CAN NOT upgrade 1.x.x.x based firmware with the new 3.5.0.7171 Firewire driver. Therefore, you should upgrade your radio's firmware to the latest 1.x.x.x version BEFORE installing the updated FLEX Firewire driver. That would seem to be contradictory! Do you mean we must upgrade to firmware 2.x.x.x before installing 3.5.0.7171 ? I'm using firmware 1.3.0.6 and driver 3.4.2.6200. (5000A, XP) What should I upgrade to and in what order? George W2AIV -- Original message -- From: Tim (W4TME) t...@flex-radio.com To all FLEX-5000 and FLEX-3000 users, There is a new FLEX Firewire driver that is available for upgrade. ===[ Special Instructions ]== PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAVEAT - IT IS VERY IMPORTANT With the release of the new FLEX Firewire driver, version 3.5.0.7171, we are changing the way firmware is updated on your software defined radio. Previously, you executed a file that was known an auto loader. When you executed this file, the firmware was placed on your PC's hard driver and then a DOS or Command window was displayed instructing you through the remainder of the firmware upgrade process. Running this command prompt based utility cause a few problems for some newer Windows operating systems which is one of several reasons we are changing the firmware upgrade method. The new way of updating firmware is by using an applet embedded in the FLEX Firewire control panel. Because current FLEX-x000 firmware with a version number of 1.x.x.x was created with an older version of the Firewire driver, you CAN NOT upgrade 1.x.x.x based firmware with the new 3.5.0.7171 Firewire driver. Therefore, you should upgrade your radio's firmware to the latest 1.x.x.x version BEFORE installing the updated FLEX Firewire driver. If you do not do this or need to revert to a earlier version of firmware after loading the new driver, the firmware install process becomes a bit more difficult due to the firmware binary and driver dependency that exists. When PowerSDR v2.0.0 is released, it will require v2.x.x.x based firmware that is 100% compatible with the new Firewire driver, so once the updated version of PowerSDR is released this caveat will no longer be applicable. ===[ New Features ] == 1.) The new FLEX Firewire driver, v3..5.0.7171 is fully compatible with Win7, Vista and XP using either the 64 or 32-bit flavors. It is also compatible with all released versions of PowerSDR. 2.) The new Firewire driver has feature that can check the compatibility of your Firewire host controller (Firewire card) with the FLEX Firewire driver. With this version of the FLEX Firewire driver, you can run a control panel applet that will check your Firewire card's chipset and tell you if it is compatible with the FLEX Firewire driver. It will also inform you of any missing service packs or Windows system driver configuration problems. This new feature will take the guess work out of determining if your Firewire card will work with the FLEX Firewire driver. To access the new applet, once the driver is installed 1.) Open the Firewire control panel 2.) Click on the SYSTEM button at the top. 3.) Check the Look Online for latest info option 4.) Check the Show Additional Details option 5.) Click on the Scan Now button 6.) A description of the Firewire host controller's chipset(s) in your system will be displayed indicating the support level and any configuration error that my be present. If your Firewire host controller's chipset is not fully supported, then you should consider getting an adapter with a supported chipset. [ Upgrading your Firewire driver ]== When upgrading your FLEX Firewire driver make sure you follow the instruction very carefully in the following KB article. The screen displays shown in this article will be a little different because of the version change, but

[Flexradio] F3K ATU dead after first failed attempt to find a match.
Using Trunk 1.18.1 SVN 2920 and Driver 3.4.0.5254 and Flex 3K. After the first failed attemp to find a match (ATU button turns red) subsequent attempt to use ATU on any band regardless of antenna match results in the ATU clicking twice and then no more relay sounds but rig stays in transmit while the power out slider toggles between 0 and 10 watts (no relay sounds what so ever) and the ATU will turn red and rig goes back to RX - so basically the ATU acts like its going through the motions in software but the F3K relays are silent while the ATU completes its cycle. The only way to get the ATU functional again is to powre off the F3K and power it back up. I can reproduce this every time and I believe I've had this issue since day one with the F3K. I would expect that after a failed match I would be able to continue to use the ATU on another band without cycling F3K power. -- 73's N7BCP ___ 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] Second receiver shown on Flex-3000 PowerSDR screen
The problem happens when you start PowerSDR and then hit the window maximize button (upper right corner in the title bar) - if you hover over this button it will give you a popup help that says maxamize so you know you've got the right button - click that to maxamize the form and then close PowerSDR, restart PowerSDR and then you will see the second receiver controls on your 3000. Then, close PowerSDR (without maxamizing his time) and when you restart PowerSDR the 2nd RX is gone. The problem may occur when you simply make the main form larger and then close and may depend on screen size. PowerSDR tries to remember the previous size of the window by storing that info in the database and loading it on startup but resize logic fails.

[Flexradio] 1394 cardbus, Vista, and IRQs
I am a new Flex 3000 owner and trying to improve PowerSDR freezing issue with my Lenovo thinkpad T400 (4gb ram Intel Core 2 duo 2.53ghz) My internal 1394 interface was sharing an IRQ with the my sound card (IRQ 17) and I see no way to change the IRQ for either device (BIOS has no setting for this). Purchased an add-on 1394A (PCMCIA) card and also see no way to change its IRQ which is (automatically?) shared with the USB, Intel 45 Express chipset, and SATA adapter (IRQ 16). IRQ settings are disabled (grayed out regardless of admin sign-in etc) and manufacturer says there are no drivers needed for these 1394 adapters (comes with OS?). Both adapters work but I have freezing issues with PowerSDR and the 3000. It seems that there is no way to control which IRQ you use (in my case?) and when they are shared with other devices(?). This laptop has a vista performance base score of 4.1. Running PowerSDR 1.18 (came with unit) and latest drivers from Flex home page. So - is there a way to control which IRQs are used by the 1394 controllers or is this even my problem. DPC is around 1200 when the freeze happens, no other apps running other than PowerSDR. This happens several times during an operating session. Have disabled indexer and killed non esential windows services. -- 73's N7BCP ___ 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] Frequency change by sliding across panadapter
I had a similar problem with the pan adapter and cleared it by resetting the database, down side was having to reenter all my configuration. On Fri, May 22, 2009 at 2:05 PM, NZ8J n...@woh.rr.com wrote: Wasn't really sure how to title this. Up until a day or so ago I was able to smoothly change the freq on my Flex 5K (1.18.0) by left clicking and holding while sliding across the panadapter. Now all of a sudden it will slide part way and then hang up. If I let up on the mouse and click again I can continue fine. I haven't changed anything that I can recall. Changing the freq this way on Betty works fine, no problems. The CPU usage is down around 10% to 15%. It doesn't change when the slider hangs up. Any suggestions?

In preparation for my 3000 I set up PowerSDR 1.18.0 in demo mode, com0com 2.2.0.0 x64, VAC 4.9.0.1652 full, and HRD build 1989 - set up com0com according to the powerpoint install doc on Flex site and told PowerSDR's CAT menu to ID as PowerSDR and set HRD to talk to a Flex 1000 - also tried setting PowerSDR as TS-2000 and HRD to talk to TS-2000 - in both cases after I change VFO-A frequency in HRD a couple of times PowerSDR becomes unresponsive (UI locked up) and HRD says it can't communicate. com0com is set to emulate baud rate on HRD side (COM7) and enable buffer overrun on PowerSDR side (COM17). So - using PowerSDR in demo mode this way may be invalid in which case I apologize for this post - wanted to get software issues out of the way as much as possible before the 3k arrives. another wild card is Windows 7 64 bit in which case I know that is obviously not a supported configuration - PowerSDR seems to run fine in demo mode, listened to sample IQ files and decoded some DRM sample - also VAC is working fine - just not CAT. Also set boot option to not require driver signing. PC is a ThinkPad core 2 duo 2.53ghz + 4gb ram. No other apps running besides HRD and PowerSDR. Posting on top of tihs thread in case it is related to the CAT TX bug. 73s Larry N7BCP On Sun, Apr 19, 2009 at 12:08 PM, Tim Ellison telli...@itsco.com wrote: There is a bug in the 1.18.0 release of PowerSDR where the CAT TX command is not working.

I use HRD with DM780 for digital modes and with the new 1.18 version my SDR1K is not keyed. The DM780 sowftware appears to function correctly showing the TX buffer being keyed, but the PSDR or SDR1K never switch to transmit. I have both imported my 1.16.2 database into 1.18 and reentered all the data to build a new database. Same problem. However, if I use the 1.16.2 version, everything works fine as it has been. No other changes to my system other than PSDR versions. Any ideas on what might be wrong here?

Re: [Flexradio] Space Navigator support added to Test branch
How does it compare to the Griffin power mate when controlling PowerSDR? Looks like they are comparably priced. -Larry On Apr 17, 2009, at 16:04, Edward Russell e...@qrv.com wrote: For those of you looking for a dedicated VFO controller for PowerSDR, the Test branch now supports the 3DConnexion Space Navigator.
