Re: [Flexradio] setting up computer for longer run time
Hi Dale! Disable all power saving options. Look for check boxes saying something like turn off this device when not in use to save energy. That feature is useful for laptops not connected to anything and running on battery power for long periods, but for a desktop PC that feature is nothing but trouble. For how to information on Windows-7 Power Management just Google windows 7 power saving settings. 73 Lloyd - N9LB -Original Message- From: FlexRadio [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz]On Behalf Of w...@reagan.com Sent: Sunday, January 04, 2015 10:14 AM To: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] setting up computer for longer run time Iam running a 1500 on a NEW I-5 computer using windows 7 -64 bit.

Re: [Flexradio] freeze up with a 1500
Hi Dale!
Some PC's share the USB buss between multiple ports, or the USB may share a
IRQ with other devices. Try a different USB port on the back of the PC (
not the convenience ports on the front ). If that does not resolve the
issue, you may want to try a USB add-on card if there is an expansion slot
available on the motherboard.

every thing on power sdr works as it should while no in a freeze state.
the setup Iam using is:

when freeze happens cpu goes to 21.
I BOUGHT THIS 1500 used and this is the first setup and run for it.
also run a 5000a on this computer with NO problems at all.
Any one have a idea where Iam going wrong on the setup?, if that the

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 500 Transverse Port

Here's what I have: Flex 5K DEMI transverters for 222 and 1296 I have set the offsets for both on the transverter screen - 194 MHz for 222 and 1268 for 1296. All other parameters are the same. For both 222 and 1296. I have been using the 222 transverter with good results. In trying to get the 1296 set up, here is what I find: Without either transverter powered and a 50 Ohm dummy load plugged into the transverter port on the 5K: Selecting 222, noise level is -131 dBm Selecting 1296 noise level is -111 dBm A 20 dB difference Why should they not be the same? Both are a 28 MHz. input. After first making sure that 10 meters was open and I was hearing signals, I plugged the antenna into the transverter port but could hear nothing. Ok, maybe the transverter port has a pretty low sensitivity and needs more RF, as it would get from any transverter. So, then with the dummy load plugged into the transverter port, I tried transmitting while listening on a separate receiver. I heard nothing. Yes, it's only a few milliwatts, but I would think I would be able to rear it. Why should the noise level for the 222 and 1296 selections be different when they are both the same 28 MHz transverter port?

[Flexradio] The new 472-479 kHz band - Technical Info
All, While the 1 watt to 5 watt power seems small, it really isn't because the specification is Effective Radiated Power. An efficient dipole antenna at this frequency would be about 1000 feet long, a 1/4 wave vertical would be over 500 feet tall. If you are running a 60 foot vertical ( requiring a huge matching network ), your efficiency would only be a few percent, therefore your transmitter power output would be somewhere around 100 watts. That is still very low communications power, but quite suitable for CW and some digital modes over 100's of miles - maybe more. I plan to gear up for it and be ready to go on the first day operation becomes legal. Yes I'll be using my FLEX-5000. Transmitting will probably require some form of low frequency transverter. Receiving might just require filtering and possibly a pre-amp. I'm looking forward to exploring a whole new band! 73 Lloyd - N9LB Message: 3 Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2012 12:55:14 -0800 From: Robert Costa, KB6QXM kb6...@yahoo.com To: Stephen Victor victo...@yahoo.com, flexradio@flex-radio.biz flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] The new 472-479 kHz band Message-ID: 648839.89845...@smtp217.mail.gq1.yahoo.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 1 watt maximum EIRP.

[Flexradio] How can I put a RX only antenna with a preamp on RX1? - Warning!
Hi ZacK! Be very carefull when doing this! I burned out my receiver input when trying this. In the current software, there is no relay disconnect of the external receiver input when you are transmitting ( when you split RX and TX paths ). Any transmitted RF that is picked up by the receive antenna gets fed directly into the receiver! I suggest you get an outboard front end protector or a very fast relay that disconnects the receiver input when transmitting. Hope that prevents you and others from experiencing some major grief! 73 Lloyd - N9LB Message: 8 Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:32:05 + (UTC) From: vtnn...@comcast.net To: Flex Radio flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] How can I put a RX only antenna with a preamp on RX1?
