Hi Folks

I see and receive the same moving noise signals here, and am very happy 
somebody found the reason for.
As its anoying. I shall look at it now very close.
But its always the same at such forums, as soon as somebody finds a bug, 
which other have not seen or are
not able to see. He is attacked. The forum is here to help each other, 
even if its not always in the benefit of the
producing firm. Finally it will be to their advatage as they can look at 
it and maybee fix it. But just to say I dont
see nor have it is also not fair. So thanks to John who made a step in 
the right direction.

That is the fix.  Rename your current DB to something else.  Start up
SVN 688 and import you database from 687.  I had to stop and restart SVN
688 after the import for the Panadapter to work properly, but it works.

I have the same problem also.
I believe it has to do with the database and the new dual receive
capability.
If you delete your current database it will start up and then
you will have to set up a new one.

Chris,

This subject has already been a topic  three years ago on the Forum and so 
far I remember OM Ahti Aintila from Finland was the first to detect and 
replace the noisy dc-dc converter with an external power supply.
Sorry to see old topics repeatingly coming up all the time while information 
is available in the archives.
Before I used a notebook computer and my moving noise disappeared when 
pulling the plug of notebooks  power supply.

Re: [Flexradio] FlexRadio Digest, Vol 17, Issue 24

2006-09-25 Thread Ahti Aintila
Willi,

Thanks for remembering! Linear power supply/voltage regulator is
always a good solution for low noise applications. Unfortunately,
sometimes we cannot use them.

Actually, now I'm using the original chopper with better filtering.
You may add 47uF capacitor parallel to C7 and double the values of L2,
L3, C8 and C9. Be careful though, the chopper DC1 (NMA1215S) is very
sensitive to all kind of overloads - even to the higher inrush current
of the output filter capacitors! That's why higher inductance values
will be needed. My suggestions are beyond the recommendations of the
manufacturer and naturally, you violate the guarantee rules of
FlexRadio, too. Anything you modify is totally at your own risk and
responsibility.

It may be my good luck only, that this modification has worked three
years in my oldest SDR-1000 and about two years in the two other sets.
For anybody else I suggest  buying (or building) a quiet power supply
with well filtered output voltages +13.8V and ±15V (±12V).

73, Ahti OH2RZ

Chris and others,

I have read every thread here on flex-radio.biz since Jan 06 since I've 
received my SDR-1000. While I agree with your concerns, I don't consider that 
anyone has been attacked. Mind you, I'm a third party reading the same 
threads. I see lots of frustration to problems that can't be readily solved. I 
see eagerness on the part of the same few people who have always been there to 
help and continue to be there for us. However, even these folks can become 
frustrated not being able to help as quickly as others would like. They are 
only able is help if they are familiar with the symptoms or if they can 
reproduce the problem as described. Failing that doesn't say, Your full of 
shit. NOW THAT'S BEING ATTACKED. What it says to me is, I wish da heck I could 
help you ole man but I need mo data. Possibly many of you would like to hear a 
more personalized message but these guys haven't been helping since you got 
your radio. Many have been helping since SDR-1000 was an infant and sometimes 
just maybe they don't feel like after a long day at the office taking the time 
to sugar coat their responses. Again, I haven't seen anyone rude. I've seen the 
TONE of complaints being out of line which is part of the frustration that many 
have for many different reasons, most of which aren't the fault of the SDR-1000 
or the volunteers here that are helping us enjoy this radio. I won't bother 
with the cost per inch ratio of these radio or the cost per once ratio either. 
What I will say is that inch for inch (millimeters if you prefer), there's more 
to enjoy that any of the other RICE boxes on the market today. I believe that 
if we all exercise a bit more patience and be more specific with the nature of 
our problem when we report it here on this forum, we stand to get those 
problems solved more expediately than otherwise. By disagreeing with you Chris, 
I hope you don't think I'm attacking you.

Best ragards to you Chris and to all on this forum that contribute to it's 
success.

It's a good thing that you have not read some of the private emails I 
have received. That is one reason why I was really ticked off after my 
first report that I also had the problem only worse.

So I apologize to the group for really being hostile, while responding 
to the group, it was the private emails only that deserved that response.
