[Flexradio] SDR1000 and Writelog Contesting software
Has anyone successfully been able to use Writelog with the SDR1K? I have been trying for a couple of evenings and have had no luck. What I would like to do is to use Writelog for CW contesting as well as together with MMTTY for RTTY contesting. I have used the SDR for casual operating and would like to use it for contesting as well. The setup here is the SDR1K with the 100 W PA - Running PowerSDR version 1.8.0 VAC 3.12 , vCOM and Writelong Version 10.55D 3.0 GHz P4 computer wth 1 GB RAM Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Flexradio] PowerSDR Ver 1.4.5.P5/P6 - Strange TX pulsing UPdate
Further to my email below, I am continue toexperience the pulsing problem on TX when using the SDR in conjunction with MIxW. I have tried both Preview 5 and Preview 6 and I experience the same problem. I do have some additional info to share with a view to solving this problem. The pulsing does not appear to occur when I transmitthe first time (just after I activate MixW) However,if I transmit twice in a row the pulsing begins on the second transmission and by the third transmission and beyond, it is pulsing at a rate of approx 1 pulse per second. All, software VCOM/VAC and PowerSDR I believe are set up as perinstructions (Bob - N4HY) . Hardware wise I only have the D44 connected to the SDR and computer- everything else has been removed from the computer. Any suggestions/guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: [Flexradio] PowerSDR Ver 1.4.5.P6 - TX pulsing UPdate (2)
I thought I would go back to square one with this issue. I decided toreturn to using my second sound card (Audigy 2 ZS) for digital modes usingVCOM and actual physicalcables to see if I could duplicate the pulsing issue. After setting up the software (MixW and PowerSDR) I had no puslingproblem at all with either version 1.4.4 or 1.4.5 Preview 6. I tried every digital mode many many times with long cq's and test transmissions without a the occurrence of a single pulse. It would appear that the problemmay besomehowrelatedto the use of the VAC. I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling the VAC softwarebut I was not able to locate the uninstall file/instructions. WIll keep looking though. Just thought I would report my progress to the list.

Re: [Flexradio] PowerSDR Ver 1.4.5.P5/P6 - Strange TX pulsing UPdate
Thank you for your comments Riho. I am using the Delta 44 sound card and the pulsing is very strong. This is a very strange problem.
Hopefully, someone will recognize the problem and have the solution?

Serge

Re: [Flexradio] PowerSDR Ver 1.4.5.P5 - Strange TX pulsing
Hello Jeff. Thank you for your response. Given your comments, I tried to press the MOX button prior to activating the RTTY/PSK transmission with the same results. The only way I can minimize the pulsing somewhat is by changing the VAC buffer setting to 512. Serge VA3SBJeff Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Serge, This may not be related at all to your problem, but I've experienced pulsing in SSB mode - turned out it was related to an improperly wired mic. One clue was that there was no pulsing if I pressed the MOX button on the display, but pulsing occured if I used the mic's PTT button. Does this problem *always* happen? If you key with MOX, does it go away?

[Flexradio] VAC and Second sound card
Hello everyone! Having finally managed to get my SDR working on CW (well, operator error and a bad commercial stereo cable!!!) I am now ready to move on to purcahsing the VAC. I do haveone question however. If my understanding is correct from what I have readon this list,by using the VAC software, I will no longer requiremy second sound card (Audigy 2ZS) for digital modes. If this is correct, then I assume that I canuse this sound card for other applications including the Teamspeak Forum.It seems a shame to have a 3 GHz machine sitting there only using between 7 and 12 %of its processing power (for the SDR and surfing) and running Teamspeakfrom a laptop.

[Flexradio] Using vCOM software with MixW digital software
Hello to the group. Trying to get my SDR to work with VCOM and Mix W digital software. It may be something simple but I just cannot seem to get MixW to key the PTT and transmit audio. I am able to receive no problem. I have my vCOM set up as follows: Port 1 - Com port 7 Com port 8 Port 2 - Com port 1 Com port 2 I have the SDR CAT Control set to com 7 SDR PTT Control set to com 2 I have the MixW CAT and PTT control set to com 8 However, I am not sure where to insert the info for the vcom com port 1? I have the PTT via CAT box checked in MIX W in the PTTCAT control box. For testing purposes, I am simply feeding the audio output from the MIXW software directly to the mic input on the from panel of the SDR. Any assistance would be appreciated. It appears that I am not getting PTT as the SDR does not transmit. No sure what I am doing wrong. Thank you in advance. 73's Serge VA3SB
[Flexradio] vCom installation difficulties
Hello to the list.I want to get my SDR working on the digital modes with the vCom program if possible. Having some difficulites installing the software.I have downloaded the pdf information file but still having difficulties. I downloaded the software and unzipped the file. Ihave modified the .ini file and saved it back to the directory. I noted in the ini file that there were com ports available well beyond 10. I have a Digi Port Server which allows me to have up to 10 hard wired com ports at present. I wanted to try to use VCom's com ports 12 and 13 under Pair No. 5 in the ini file. I have two questions, is it possible to usevCOM's com 12 and 13 withthird party digital software? My other question which is a very simple one I am sure - how do I actually install the vCOM software on my computer once I have configured the ini file? I must be missing something here as I cannot find the executable file to launch the software. I would appreciate any and all assistance. If you would like to save bandwidth please reply direct. Thank you allin advance... Serge VA3SB
