[Flexradio] Future FlexControl users - Installation heads up
To all Flexers who have purchased the new FlexControl tuning knob Since the FlexControls are now shipping in volume and will start showing up at your QTH shortly, there is an installation consideration you should be aware of if you use VSPmanager for virtual com port access. There is a bug in the Eltima API used in VSPmanager that results in the possibility of the FlexControl's assigned physical com port to conflict with an already defined virtual com port resulting in at worst, a Windows crash (BSoD). There have also been reports of other virtual com port software causing issues too, so this condition is not exclusive to VSPmanager. This information is in the FlexControl errata that is included with the FlexControl, but I thought it would be useful to provide a proactive notice for those who might want to take action before your FlexControl arrives. You can download a copy of the FlexControl errata using this URL: http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx?id=370 The issue is that VSPmanager is not properly reporting it's virtual com ports to Windows and when the FlexControl drivers are initialized and a physical com port is assigned by Windows to the FlexControl process, that assigned com port is already in use by VSPmanager. Two applications cannot have exclusive use of the same comport, resulting in the operating system crash. This situation arises when you have virtual comports that are assigned to low numbered comports; such as 1-9 since that is the likely range of com ports Windows will assign to new physical com ports. You can mitigate this problem in two ways. First by defining virtual com ports that are not in the range of 1-9. So if you have virtual com port pairs defined where either of the com port end points are in this range, delete the com port pair and re-create it with the com port end points greater than 9. If you have already installed PowerSDR 2.1.x, then remove VSPmanager (make sure you delete the com port pairs first), install PowerSDR v2.1 RC3 or later, get the FlexControl working properly and then install VSPmanager and define your virtual com port pairs. In this case, since the FlexControl is already installed and has a physical com port assigned, VSPmanager correctly identifies the physical comport that the FlexControl is using and will not allow you to create a virtual com port using the com port already in use resulting in no com port conflict. -Tim --- W4TME FlexRadio Systems Internet Systems Admin.

Re: [Flexradio] Announcing PowerSDR(TM) v2.0.19 RC1 Release Candidate
I would like to add a few helpful hints for running PowerSDR v2.0.19 RC1 that might make your installation go a bit smoother. 1.) Read the release notes. Seriously, it is a best practice. 2.) You do NOT have to uninstall a previous version of PowerSDR before installing PowerSDR v2.0.19 RC1 3.) PowerSDR v2.0.19 RC1 will automatically update the firmware on your radio. Allow it to finish completely and reboot the radio when prompted (FLEX-1500). Power cycling the FLEX-x000 after a firmware update is always a best practice (you will have to shut down PowerSDR 2.0.19 RC1 first). 4.) This release has a new Firewire driver. You may experience distorted audio the first time you start PowerSDR due to the sampling not not getting initialized properly. If this is the case, toggling the Start button usually clears it up. In 99% of the time, the new Firewire driver will install properly with PowerSDR v2.0.19 RC1, but if you want to be sure that it installs without any issues, it is recommended that you uninstall the Firewire driver before installing PowerSDR v2.0.16. To do this.. a.) Power off your FLEX-x000 SDR b.) Open Windows Control Panel c.) Click on the Add or Remove Programs or Programs and Features. d.) Uninstall any and all programs that looks like FlexRadio 3.x.y.abcd where x.y.abcd is the version number (do not uninstall PowerSDR) e.) reboot your PC f.) Install PowerSDR v2.0.16 (preferably using the defaults) following the user prompts 5.) If upgrading from PowerSDR 1.x to PowerSDR 2.0.16, it is STRONGLY recommended that you do not do a database import, but allow PowerSDR to create a new database and manually reconfigure it. 6.) If using the K9DUR Data Transfer tool to import a pre 2.0.19 RC1 database, it is highly recommended that you do not import the state table. PowerSDR 2.0.19 has a lot of new default database parameters located in various tables and importing a pre 2.0.19 RC1 database may overwrite those new parameters making the operation pf PowerSDR 2.0.19 RC1 inconsistent. If you observe any inconsistencies, reset your database and configure it manually. 7.) The previous configuration you had setup for CW will most likely not be optimal with the new CW enhancements. You may want to re-setup CW using smaller audio buffers, different sampling rates and break-in values. -Tim --- W4TME FlexRadio Systems Internet Systems Admin.

[Flexradio] [OT] A happy Holiday Season to all my Flexer Friends!
I just wanted to waste a bit of reflector bandwidth to say “Happy Holidays” to all my Flexer friends and acquaintances. 2010 has been an interesting and busy year for all us involved with FlexRadio. With the release of two new hardware offerings (the V/U and FLEX-1500), PowerSDR 2.0.x plowing through what must be by now the mother of all development cycles to integrate new hardware and come out with a much improved version of PowerSDR, a lot has transpired. And to top it all off, our ranks have grown significantly (I see all of the reflector subscriber requests) this year too. There are more great things to come in the upcoming new year. It is an exciting time to be a ham radio enthusiast. Here is wishing everyone a Happy Holiday in your native language (sorry if I missed yours).

[Flexradio] QST for all FLEX-1500 users
Last weekend, FlexRadio Systems' Development group released a new USB driver patch kit, revision D. There was discovered this week a slight defect for 23-bit systems regarding the correct installation of the updated USB DLL driver. This defect has been corrected and FLEX-1500 Driver Patch Kit for PowerSDR v2.0.16, rev E is now available for download. If you successfully installed version D of this patch kit and your system is operational, there is *no* need to install the rev E patch kit. The USB DLL (driver) file was not updated, just the mechanism of how it was installed was corrected. The FLEX-1500 Driver Patch Kit for PowerSDR v2.0.16 Installation Troubleshooting Guide has been updated too. Please feel free to contact FlexRadio Support (supp...@flexradio.com) if you need assistance in running any of the troubleshooting procedures and particularly if none of the procedures work for your setup, as we need to collect this information in order to better understand the issues and get them resolved before the next beta release of PowerSDR 2.0.x The FLEX-1500 Driver Patch Kit for PowerSDR v2.0.16 Installation Troubleshooting Guide can be downloaded here: http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx?id=356 The updated FLEX-1500 Driver Patch Kit for PowerSDR v2.0.16, rev E. can be downloaded here: http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx?id=355 -Tim --- W4TME FlexRadio Systems Internet Systems Admin.

[Flexradio] QST for FLEX-1500 users having USB driver installation / operational issues
To all FLEX-1500 Users, As you are probably aware, there have been some installation and operational issues related to the new USB streaming device driver for the FLEX-1500. These issues, which didn't show up during alpha testing, effect a small percentage of FLEX-1500 users. There were actually several individual issues that arose during the public beta testing including difficulty getting the drivers to install properly to adverse interactions with using certain newer USB chipsets (controllers). The FlexRadio development team has been working very diligently to characterize the issues over the past two weeks and believe that they understand the problems fairly well. As a result of those efforts, there is an updated FLEX-1500 Driver Patch Kit for PowerSDR v2.0.16 (Rev.D) along with a multi-procedure troubleshooting guide that describes how to install the FLEX-1500 Driver Patch Kit for PowerSDR v2.0.16 along with additional troubleshooting steps to get your radio operational using PowerSDR v2.0.16. If none of these troubleshooting procedures resolve your problems, there is a final procedure for reverting back to PowerSDR v2.0.8 which uses the higher latency Windows sound card drivers. Please feel free to contact FlexRadio Support (supp...@flexradio.com) if you need assistance in running any of the troubleshooting procedures and particularly if none of the procedures work for your setup, as we need to collect this information in order to better understand the issues and get them resolved before the next beta release of PowerSDR 2.0.x The FLEX-1500 Driver Patch Kit for PowerSDR v2.0.16 Installation Troubleshooting Guide can be downloaded here: http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx?id=356 The updated FLEX-1500 Driver Patch Kit for PowerSDR v2.0.16, rev D. can be downloaded here: http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx?id=355 -Tim --- W4TME FlexRadio Systems Internet Systems Admin.

I read the sales blurb again on Waters and Stanton site last night to reconfirm what I purchased and there are many functions broken or not working or still being developed that are in the sales - the sales reads more like a wish list than actual live features. Do I expect it to be perfect - no Do I expect it to be 99% - yes I paid a significant amount of money for my flex 1500 - this isnt a home built kit, or group of amateurs working in their spare time, this is a commercial sale, selling in major magazines, selling a product that is not (IMHO) working I bought the flex1500 on good faith knowing that a full release in work - yes they have had issues around a USB driver but what worries me is the vast amount of stuff not related to USB that does not work. Its a blind view to say I am an amateur so I should not expect it to work properly - I paid a lot of hard earned cash - if it had been home electronics item I would have returned it long ago - depending on how my issues are resolved I may yet be returning it! Id be returning it regardless of it its flex or icom/yae/kenw. Minor miracle - hardly - if I had it out the box and all the features working I maybe thinking and informing others that yes its a good buy - At the moment - expensive paperweight. Am I alone in that view - No - I know others are also stuck - a colleague also bought a Flex at the same time as me - has his experience been the same - yes indeed it has. I dont have a blinkered view - I bought a commerical bit of kit - expensive at that - I expect a working product soon- or else Flex will be minus one customer and I am quite sure with the number of 1500 owners I wont be the only one.

Re: [Flexradio] PowerSDR 2.0.6 Beta the Flex 1500
No tweaking occurred. And an apology is not necessary. It isn't a punishable offense :-) All of the discussion regarding the 2.0.6 software are occurring on FlexEdge and if threads get started here, then there will be topics and information that are missed by some FlexEdge users. Conversely, there is good information about PowerSDR v2.0.6 occurring right now on FlexEdge that I assume people who are subscribed only to this reflector are missing. The point of the message is to make sure we all do our best to (a) know where the information regarding beta software is being disseminated and (b) try to keep it in one place so that there is a single source for pertinent information regarding the 2.0.6 Beta. Yeah, the firmware reference for the FLEX-1500 was a bit obscure and the usual user warning in PowerSDR about needing to update the firmware is not existent. So it is easy to miss. -Tim --- W4TME FlexRadio Systems Internet Systems Admin.

I have seen some messages here tht had something to do with antenna port#3 issues but can't find anything in the KB about this particular problem. I had RX 2 on anther 6 meter antenna and could see several signals that were not showing on antenna 3 jack so I changed that antenna to port #2 and they were coming in just fine. When that antenna goes back on port #3 I don't hear much of anything at all but my local. I know that this rig is deaf on 6 meters without using a preamp on the RX loop so one question I have is even though the option is still shown on the menu is antenna port # 3 really getting to use the RX loop and my preamp?

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 1500 Shipping
It would be cool if Flex could periodically comment on the dates orders that are shipping each week were placed. They might, but don't be disappointment if they don't provide that detail of information publicly. I have been informed that the Sales/Order fulfillment department has been overloaded with calls and e-mails over the past 24 hours from people wanting to know when they are going to get their radios. Answering all these calls and e-mails slows down the process of order fulfillment for *everyone*, so unless you are actually making a change to your order, the Sales folks have kindly asked that you delay from inquiring about your order status so they can focus on getting product out the door. Believe me, they want to ship them just as bad as you want to get your radio, so what ever we can do to help is appreciated. I am sure that there will be public announcements of some sort regarding product status from the management periodically over the next several weeks. -Tim --- W4TME FlexRadio Systems - Info Management Admin.

Re: [Flexradio] what if i have two flex how this will work v2.0
Actually he can run multiple radios from one database. When PowerSDR inits, it looks at the S/N of the radio and compares it to what is in the database, if they do not match, then it will populate the DB with the EEPROM data from the attached radio. You can do this with multiple FLEX-5000s or FLEX-5000 and a FLEX-3000. Eric was really crafty when he coded in this fail-safe feature Although if you want speedier loading, you can use the runtime option to tell PowerSDR what base folder to use for storing the variable user data. http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50469.aspx And would probably be the preferred method of running multiple radios on one computer. This is how I run a FLEX-1500 and a FLEX-5000/3000 on the same computer *at the same time*. -Tim --- W4TME FlexRadio Systems - Info Management Admin.

If he were to follow the procedure you suggest, the file would only have the calibration data for radio #2, radio #1 may not work properly. Unless, of course, you were suggesting that he repeat that procedure every time he switched radios. The driver will only allow one radio to be on at a time, but he can set things up to use different databases for each radio. This can only be accomplished by a new feature in v2.0 Beta that may not be documented yet. Basically, it involves specifying a command-line parameter in the shortcut used to start PowerSDR to tell PowerSDR what database file to use. I know the feature exists (at least it did in the SVN revisions), but I do not know the correct syntax of the command-line parameter to be used. 73, Ray, K9DUR http://k9dur.info -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Richard Clafton Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2010 6:58 PM To: 'paim'; FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] what if i have two flex how this will work v2.0 I think I know what you are asking.

Re: [Flexradio] Tune button ghosted out
Did you enter into demo mode by chance? If so the current versions of PowerSDR will set the disable PTT and Receive Only flags preventing you from transmitting and using TUNe since it is a transmit function. Resetting the DB reset those option back to the default which is not checked. -Tim --- W4TME FlexRadio Systems - Info Management Admin.

To all Flexers, There is a new article in the April 2010 edition of Amateur Radio (Australia) by none other than our own Brian, VK7RR. This is an excellent operators overview of the FLEX-3000 and how he uses it for portable operation in addition to the added bonus of creating unusual WX at his QTH. You can access the article from the left hand side bar on the FlexRadio System's home page or you can use this direct link.

Re: [Flexradio] My google search failed and yhe Knowledge base returned no useful results.
For future reference, that is a fairly complex search string for the KB. It does not use the same sophisticated search engine like Google uses. Single or dual keyword searches work better. The location of the audio file depends on what version of PowerSDR you are using. I am assuming that you have a 1.x version, so look in the PowerSDR application folder first where the database is stored. Note that if you recorded using the QuickRecord feature or recorded the audio pre-processed, you will not be able to play the wave file on anything other than PowerSDR or another application that understands I/Q data. This is covered in the FLEX-x000 Owner's Manual in the section on the Play and Record controls. -Tim --- W4TME FlexRadio Systems - Info Management Admin.

AH HA! Using a 64-bit OS, I see. Yes, this is a current issue with 64-bit operating systems and PowerSDR 1.x After installation, PowerSDR saves files into the Program Files sub folders and Micr$oft considers this place hallowed ground and will not let an infidel wave file be placed there. Vista and Win7 use file system virtualization to fool applications into thinking files are where the apps put them when they are not.

My VFO frequency is 14.069.750 + 1500 Hz offset for an actual frequency of 14.070.250 I'm only running 3 watts so listen hard. -Tim -- W4TME FlexRadio Systems - Info Management Admin.

Re: [Flexradio] Error when accessing Knowledge Base.
It sure does throw this error.
There is a problem with the full text searching engine. It was
discovered early this AM and we are working on it.
Thanks for bringing to our attention anyway. Being the weekend there
was a good chance we could have missed it until Monday.

[Flexradio] New FLEX-VU5K pictures available
As you may or may not know, the FLEX-5000 V/U module (FLEX-VU5K) underwent a redesigned after it was determined that the NF did not meet the design specifications once the module was installed in a FLEX-5000 chassis during prototype testing. That re-engineering has been completed and there are updated pictures of the FLEX-VU5K (60w version) installed in a FLEX-5000A on the web site. It is still expected that the FLEX-VU5K will start beta testing at the end of the month or the beginning of April. Ship dates are still TBD.

Some stay, some go, but the cables seem to still come into the shack. I had everything from b...@ssed Heliax down to RG-58, plus rotor cables and CAT5 and quite a few that I couldn't remember what they were ever connected to. Needless to say, the back end of my shack was a complete rats-nest. I needed to replace my CAT5 due to recent storm damage, and I decided this would be a good excuse to get things sorted out. So, anything not needed was removed. Others were routed neatly, and even ty-wrapped in some cases. Even the lab side of the shack was cleaned up, with shorter GPIB cables where appropriate. Now, I have a problem on 20m.Before, all was fine. This is with my F3K, which goes through a Daiwa SWR meter to my AT-1000, then to the antenna switch. My 20m antenna is a Cushcraft A4S at ~ 50ft. It is better than 2:1 over the band. When I hit the PTT, there is no output, of course.When I speak, it goes to ~100w as expected, but when I pause it still shows ~10w fwd with about a 3:1 SWR. I disconnected the mic and the key, and used CWX to send a carrier, and it does the same thing. Next, tried it into a good dummy load, and had no problems. So it looks like an RFI issue, but why would the SWR change? Probably radiating somewhere it wasn't supposed to, but I coupled it to my spectrum analyzer and didn't see anything untoward. Still scratching my head on that one. PCs and radios are all connected to a substantial ground system. The only thing left was the Firewire cable. I only had some RG-8 size ferrets, so had to run the firewire cable looped through them. I really couldn't see any improvement. Based on comments seen here, I'm going to get a couple of Granite Digital cables, but a scan of their website (http://www.granitedigital.com/firewireproducts.aspx) is rather confusing. Which one is right for this application? I have about 6ft between the back of the F3K and its computer. Sorry for the rant. It is not intended to be a criticism of Flex in any way, just a notice to anyone that a messy shack can be quite a good thing. There used to be a saying: 'Don't fix it if it ain't broke'. The ham version seems to be: 'Fix it until it is broke'.

Re: [Flexradio] Mail and website outage
The web site is actually working fine. There isn't a problem with web site being intercepted, the issue is with your ISP providing your DNS lookup services. This situation will clear itself up automatically as the DNS servers and your PC refreshes their DNS caches. There was an unplanned, but forced migration of the flex-radio.com DNS servers to a more competent DNS provider early this AM. This activity was planned for 12:01 AM this coming Sunday, but the second total DNS server failure in the past three days from the previous DNS provider required us to accelerate the time table. Your ISP probably is still pointing to the old DNS name servers and based on what I have seen over the past few days, who knows what IP address will be returned for www.flex-radio.com from those faulty servers. Again, sorry for the inconvenience. -Tim --- W4TME FlexRadio Systems - Info Management Admin.

Re: [Flexradio] Hamfest price discount or show special pricing!
The discounts are available only for people actually placing orders for FlexRadio Systems SDRs at the hamfest. This is no different that what most other ham radio vendor does at at hamfests. At the time of the Raleigh hamfest, the FLEX-1500 should be a shipping product; fulfilling orders for those who have pre-ordered and paid for a FLEX-1500. Those orders will be fill before any orders received at the hamfest. The FLEX-1500 is already priced very aggressively, so I do not anticipate anything substantial in that area, but I don't make those decisions, I'm just the PR guy. -Tim --- W4TME FlexRadio Systems - Info Management Admin.

[Flexradio] Caution: New VAC version, 4.10 does not work well with PowerSDR
To all Flexers, There is a new version of VAC, v4.10 that has been released in the past few days. Initial testing has indicated that it is *not* a drop in replacement for VAC v4.09. I have been experiencing significant audio drop outs on receive and (worse) on transmit. Changing sample rates and buffers sizes does not seem to make any improvement in the audio quality. I would strongly recommend that Flexers who utilize VAC *NOT* install VAC 4.10 until some of these issues can be rectified. If you do plan to test VAC 4.10, please do so with a dummy load until you are certain of the quality of signal you are transmitting. I have started a correspondence with the VAC developers to help identify and rectify the significant deficiencies and defects in VAC 4.10 as they pertain to its use with PowerSDR. One other note to all users. Please do not post on the reflectors the URL for VAC upgrades. This is private information and is shared with only registered users of VAC and not the thousands of users on the reflectors. The distributors of VAC don't appreciate it and obviously get a little upset if it is done since it allows their software to be easily pirated. If you are a registered user of VAC and you do not know how to get updates, you must contact the entity you purchased VAC from to get that information. -Tim -- W4TME FlexRadio Systems - Info Management Admin.

Re: [Flexradio] Comm Oh Comm!
The only problem with something like hub4com is that if you have more than one program controlling the radio, you can get into all sorts of trouble because the two programs controlling the radio do not know about each other and can put the radio into a conflicted state. Worst case is that you are transmitting when you shouldn't be and into the wrong load, which can damage the radio. This is where DDUtil shines as it helps control what functions CAT connected programs can do. In addition to a lot of other really cool stuff, like SO2R. -Tim --- W4TME FlexRadio Systems - Info Management Admin. Tune in Excitement On 2/15/2010 5:52 PM, Mike Tatum wrote: Thanks Jerry!

[Flexradio] PowerSDR v1.18.5 is now available for download
To all Flexers, FlexRadio Systems has released PowerSDR v1.18.5 and it is available for immediate download and use. This is a maintenance software release of PowerSDR 1.18.4 and contains several critical bug fixes that were in the recently deferred v1.18.4 release. It is recommended that you upgrade to PowerSDR v1.18.5 at your earliest convenience and stop using v1.18.4 if you have it already installed. You can download the PowerSDR v1.18.5 installation software using this URL: http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx?id=313 You do not have to uninstall previous releases of PowerSDR to install a new one. All new PowerSDR releases install in their own separate folder. It is recommended that you review the PowerSDR release notes prior to installing a new version of PowerSDR to make sure you have the proper versions of .NET, firmware and FLEX Firewire driver recommended for the release. In addition, a list of bug fixes included in the v1.18.5 release are listed in the release notes. The v1.18.5 release notes can be accessed from the Knowledge Center using this URL: http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50448.aspx Remember, it is always a best practice to allow PowerSDR to create a brand new database with each new release. You can transfer specific user configuration information into your new database from an existing one using the K9DUR PowerSDR Data Transfer Utility (http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50327.aspx). -Tim -- W4TME FlexRadio Systems - Info Management Admin.

There is now a KC article that documents the FlexWire v2 connector pin outs for the FLEX-1500. http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50449.aspx Just a general comment to all. The FLEX-1500 hardware is in pre-production beta testing now. This is the time where documentation on the radio hardware starts showing up in the Knowledge Center and the Owner's manual starts getting put together. I know everyone is very excited and anxious to know more about the new FLEX-1500. I know because I resemble my previous remark. We will be making every effort to provide the information you desire regarding the FLEX-1500. But you have to take into account that the engineering team at FlexRadio is very busy working on multiple hardware projects, so questions that might show up on the Reflectors may take a little bit of time to get answered. This is because we have to get feedback from the correct person in order to get you the the correct answer. We are monitoring the reflectors and will get you the answers to your questions, so if you do not see an immediate response, please be patient and do not jump to any conclusions until you see an official response.

OK, that's your prerogative. A dedicated PTT line is a normal requirement for a transceiver. It has one. It comes out on the mic jack. I hope Flex reconsiders, the SDR1000 was bad enough. It is easier, more reliable, and cheaper in IMHO, for Flex to just include such a simple thing! I guess I am confused as it appears to me that it is already there, just on the mic jack and not repeated on the back panel. I am not interested in no brainer projects like that. Well, in my experience playing with transverters and preamps located at the antenna I don't see any way around having a sequencer. Even when using relay switching I would use the mic PTT line to key the changeover relay and the contacts on the changeover relay to key the transmitter. It is really nice that Flex provides sequenced contact closures with the F5K but rolling one with a microcontroller using power MOSFETs as switches seems pretty simple to me. But I understand the gist of what you are saying, just not the part about how they didn't provide a PTT line. off soap box No worries. -- 73 de Brian, WB6RQN/J79BPL ___ 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/ ___ 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] Potential problem in PowerSDR v1.18.4
To all Flexers, We are aware of a defect in PowerSDR v1.18.4 where the PA bias current does not turn off after transmit and are working on an immediate fix. As a precaution, we are asking all Flexers not to use PowerSDR v1.18.4 if you plan on transmitting and we have removed it from the downloads page. We will post the fixed version as soon as this software defect has been repaired and tested. We apologize for any inconvenience. -Tim -- W4TME FlexRadio Systems - Info Management Admin.

Re: [Flexradio] The FLEX-1500 to make its debut at Hamcation 2010
Why no antenna? Ever tried to receive signals in a Faraday cage (inside a metal hamfest building)? Demos don't go over very well when you have no signals to demodulate. Using pre-recorded, pre-processed IQ data files is the standard way FLEX radios are demonstrated at hamfest where it is not being used for something like a special event station. As a practice, FlexRadio Systems pulls a random unit from the production line to run the specification tests on and those are the ones published. This method provides a better real world evaluation of the radio rather than taking one and tweaking it to get max performance out of it and then publishing those numbers. Obviously, they have their lab specs to use as a baseline for quality purposes. I suspect you will begin to see some range numbers, but if history repeats itself, it will have specs that blow most radios costing 2-3x as much out of the water. It will be the best performing QRP radio you can buy. -Tim --- W4TME FlexRadio Systems - Info Management Admin.

Re: [Flexradio] Spur in PSK31 output even with no rf out into Dummy load.
What you are seeing is a harmonic of the AF generated by the sound card program. These are to be expected. Some digi mode programs do a better job of suppressing them than others. Ti eliminate it on the RF output, define a TX filter that only has bandwidth for the fundamental. -Tim --- W4TME FlexRadio Systems - Info Management Admin.

Re: [Flexradio] Am I stuck now?
Lets find out if you actually need the preamp modification first. Using the KB article listed below, see if your TRX board is a revision that needs updating. If it is, then contact Klaus, the FlexRadio Systems EU representative in order to find out what your options are. http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50430.aspx You shouldn't be too disappointed. The mod is a performance enhancement and not a fix, per se. In addition, FlexRadio has chosen to do it for free (until the end of the year), rather than just come out with a different version of the radio, leaving you stuck with an under performing radio like so many other radio manufacturers have done in the past. BTW, Klaus was copied on this e-mail. -Tim --- W4TME FlexRadio Systems - Info Management Admin.

I have been unable to discover if there are any arrangements in the UK as I dont really want to ship it to the States. It is running the supplied firmware 1.2.5.4 and the Flex driver 3.4.0.5254 Does this mean that without the Factory work, I shall be unable to use the new PSDR when it arrives?
