[Flexradio] Filters... is it just me?

2011-03-25 Thread Joe Word
Ever since i upgraded to v2.0.20 I keep thinking the Rx SSB filters
are not as sharp as the were on v2.0.19 and below. I am running the
DSP RX filter at 4096 as before, but does not seen as sharp. Has
anyone else questioned this?

There is no change in that area that I have been able to see.

Did you change sample rate? Filter sharpness is determined by both sample
rate and DSP RX buffer size. If you double the sample rate it is the same as
cutting your DSP RX buffer in half.

 Brian,

 Thanks for the reply, so for sharp filters we need RX Buffers large
 and Audio/Sample Rate low. I have not experimented much with the
 Sample Rate and may have had it too high, it was at 19,200 so changed
 it to 4800.


 That will certainly do it. When I need really sharp filters then I do just
 that. OTOH, I find that a sample rate of 96kHz with 4096 sample DSP buffers
 is more than adequate for all but the narrowest of modes.

 Also remember that, the sharper you make your filters, the more delay or
 latency you introduce to the signal. For phone and most digital modes it
 won't matter. For CW, PACTOR, and ARQ (flarq) digital modes it can be
 critical.

 Again, it is a matter of personal preference. But it is nice to be able to
 tune that.
