[Flexradio] 2.4.4 ... bug?
Hello friends: using 2.4.4. If i click : DIGL/U reports LSB/USB on SETUP then when DUSB or DLSB is used on PowerSDR my log software can read from CAT LSB and USB and this is OK and what i need. BUT: If selected DIGL/U reports LSB/USB when my logbook sends USB/LSB for a frequency change to PowerSDR it changes to DIGL/U and i think this is not ok. Is this right? -- Rubén Navarro Huedo - EA5BZ http://www.palotes.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.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/

I followed a suggestion by Bill, W9OL, and set the CWS Signal I/O device to Flexradio Audio, which I understand to be the direct I/Q data from the Firewire driver. This is working perfectly, and I like that I do not have to change PowerSDR settings to use VAC for a digimode program like DM780. If there are drawbacks to this approach, I would appreciate feedback. Tim, at your suggestion, I tried setting the Win7 Audio device to 2-channel, which I did before starting the radio or any programs, but it does not work. I must be missing some other setting on VAC, but I think I will give up for now.

[Flexradio] My first contest experience with FLEX-5000A
Hello friends: I am a Flex user 3 years ago. This weekend i have had my first contest experience with the FLEX-5000A. Is has been in the King of Spain SSB contest. We have participated in Multi-Multi with 14 operators and 4 running stations. Some conclusiones: -First the good points: All operators have talked about his excelent selectivity. The FLEX station has been used only on 40 meters. 40 meters in this contest is very very saturated this is becouse the great selectivity of FLEX5000 has been great for us. 100% stable. We haven't had problems with stability using 1.18.6. All operators have liked panadapter (of course). We have had very good audio and signal reports. Excelent looking for multipliers. -Bad points (for me): In a multi-multi contest, monitor is very very important. We haven't could use it becouse the delay. All operators told the same: MONITOR is needed in a contest. Powersdr needs a FULL-LOCK button. NOT only the frequency, we need a LOCK-ALL buttons. Involuntarily some operator have clicked on powersdr buttons and we had some problems with this. Changind mode and some other settings. In a contest, the non-flex operator must have powersdr locked to prevent involuntari changes. Some operator were looking for buttons, but the didn't find them. This wasn't a problem for me. The same PC (Mac Book Pro) was used for PowerSDR and Win-Test. What do you think? How did you solve the monitor problem? And what about the lock-all feature?

Re: [Flexradio] My first contest experience with FLEX-5000A
Thank's for your answer. Monitor = audio monitor = listen your own voice while in TX. Monitor has a delay and is really impossible use it. 2010/6/28 FireBrick w...@billnjudy.com Ruben Congrats on your big showing in the contest. More than once I inadvertently have mouse clicked and lost a 'RUN' frequency. I agree a 'Full Lock' button would be advantageous during a contest. I sort of get around it, but using the 'SAVE' and 'RESTORE' buttons. When I get a run going I click the 'SAVE' button to correct any of my fat finger, sleepy eyed mistakes. I'm not sure what you mean by a 'Monitor'. Are you saying that you couldn't hear your own voice transmissions? Hope to work you in the next contest.

Re: [Flexradio] An updated FLEX Firewire driver is available

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 the process is still the same. It is recommended that you power off your FLEX-x000 SDR and remove the existing driver and reboot your PC before installing the new driver. http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50137.aspx PLEASE REVIEW THE AFOREMENTIONED KB ARTICLE BEFORE PROCEEDING.

After 2+ months of zero RFI problems and the return of (some!) propagation on 17m, I attempted to load up my WARC band vertical on 17m and discovered a strange set of symptoms * No audio * S meter showing -254 dbm * Same symptoms on RX2 I resolved the hang by power cycling both the PC and the Flex (and on the Flex, I mean disconnecting all power for a minute)... Tried to again load up on 17m, same symptom. Since it was literally the only band where I was getting the problem, I surmised that RF was getting back into either the Flex or the PC via the FW connection. I ordered a Granite 6' 6pin-6pin FW cable on Sunday - it arrived today... ...and instantly cured the problem! Now the Flex loads up on all bands with impunity. Another happy Granite cable customer!

Re: [Flexradio] Toshiba Satellite U400 (now which laptop)
Before buy a new laptop i continue working on it. Some news: Yesterday i returned to the original windows vista supplied with the laptop. I uninstalled all extra-software on windows and did a quick optimice, dissabled unused hardware, etc... Testing with external expresscard firewire card. I have latency time a higher than XP, but ... it doesn't go up and it is stable now. It has been running now 24h without hangs with safe mode 1. I have max dpc values of 1022 and normally it is half of it. I know it is a little high, but i don't have to change the laptop now and quick. What do you think?

My question now is: What laptop are you using (without problems) with your flex radio? Tim Ellison escribió: Firewire is sharing IRQ with video card and one usb port. I don't know hot to change irq in the laptop. This is probably your issue. With ACPI motherboards along with the ACPI Windows HAL, you can't really change the IRQ assignments.Some BIOS allow a little latitude in this area, most don't. The reality of this situation is that a lot of laptops are not going to be well suited for use as a hardware platform for real-time audio processing. Laptops are deigned for (a) battery life and (b) portability. Those design goals are achieved at the expense of I/O and processor performance. Occasionally you will run into a laptop that works just fine. Other times you can get a laptop that has the best specs in the world and is touted to be a multi media high performance machine and it just plain stinks up the place when running PowerSDR. I have one of the later machines from Dell. It looks like you have done all the right things as far as performance tuning. Is the version of Windows installed on the laptop one that came from Toshiba or did you load it yourself from a retail CD? I have found that loading the OS myself eliminates any of the integrator installed fluff programs that they include for usability or support and those get in the way of a laptop being able to reach it's highest performance potential. I know Neal (K3NC) is looking into a laptop optimized for PowerSDR, but due to low demand and high

[Flexradio] My Flex History
Hello friends: I am Ruben EA5BZ from Spain. This is my short flex history: Important: I have to run my Flex with a laptop becouse i use in my expeditions and portable activity. First i owned a SDR-1000. I was running it with a little Toshiba Tecra A5. It was a single core Pentium M 740 1.73 GHz with 1gb of RAM. It was running fine. Becouse i liked the flex technology i sold the sdr-1000 and bought a flex-5000a. I was running it with the same laptop. CPU load was a little high, but i hadn't any problem, no audio cuts NO PROBLEMS. Then i thought update my laptop to can run powersdr better. I sold my Tecra A5 and bought another Toshiba. This time a Satellite U400. It is a Core 2 Duo T8100(2.1 GHz, 800MHz, 3MB L2) with 4Gb RAM, SATA Disc, etc... And... then problems begun. I haven't could run PowerSDR without audio cuts or hangs in this laptop. I have tried all possible: XP, Vista, External Firewire Card, disable all hardware (less firewire) ... and no results :-( After 3 months fighting with the laptop and powersdr i decided sell the flex-5000a and rest a little of all this. I bought the another American radio (the one finished in number 3), but sorry... this radio is not a Flex and i want/need buy another time a Flex-5000. My problem is the computer : Do i have to change another time my laptop to can use with Powersdr? And...if i sell my new laptop and buy another one. How do i know if this one will be friend of Powersdr? I bought the new laptop thinking in the flex radio ... and you see the result. What is your opinion / advice ?

[Flexradio] Use in expedition.
Hello friends: We want use the FLEX-5000A in our next expedition. When we go to a expedition weight is very important, and we can't have 2 laptops in a station. We work always in Split. TX is a fixed frequency and we listen 5 to 10 or 5 to 15 up. The problem is: We have to use the same laptop for logging and Powersdr. The BIG problem is ... How can we change the listen frequency without change from logging software to PowerSDR ? Yes, we can use a shuttle pro, but can't change to powersdr in each qso in a pile up. Any help? Any future accesories? Has anybody done this in a dx-pedition? This is the only using problem we have had with the Flex's.

[Flexradio] Problem continues...
Hello friends: 2 weeks ago i sent to the list my problem with audio-cuts and hangs with my flex-5000a and my new laptop.

I can plug in a network cable and it still works without issue. If you haven't done so already, you should download the free DPC checking tool from: http://www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml In my case, with the wireless NIC running, the DPC's were well over 16,000 uS and that was causing the cut-outs.

Re: [Flexradio] New PS. Switching or not?
TNX a lot to ALL for your answers. My problem with noise in the PS has been solved. I was using an Alinco DM-330MVE PS. When i was in TX i could listen a noise inside the PS. I have changed it for a Diamond GSV3000 Power Supply. All is fine now, no problems, no noise and when in TX Voltage stays solid. With the Alinco it was going down around 1 v at full power. Is very possible that problem was my Alinco PS and not all the Alinco's 330.

Re: [Flexradio] Advice with Laptop
Thank's Neal for your answer. The laptop has 2gb of RAM. Graphic card needs 128mb of RAM for the resolution below. Resolution is 1280x800 Screen is 14 , but i like little laptops. Thank's 4 your advice. Neal Campbell escribió: The two considerations I would have are: 1. what resolution can the laptop show (how big is the screen)? 2. how much memory does it steal from the cpu? The resolution is important to me because it dictates how much display I can get on the panadapter. If you are running 192k (for instance) and want to see a lot of it in anything other than 0.5x mode, you need some visual landscape. The memory thing is obvious, if you have a GB of memory but the video card needs 512M, then you lost half of your memory. I would bet you are okay with the config, but the two questions above are some I would want to know before going that route!
