Re: [Flexradio] IQ data files
When I was just getting started with PowerSDR, I DL'ed a file recorded during a RTTY contest and was pleasantly surprised to find myself in there, calling CQ over and over. File was recorded in Illinois. I am in SC, and it was nice to see exactly how my signal stacked up against the big guns at a distance. I haven't checked the manual lately, but have always been disappointed in the past at how changes to PowerSDR are WAY ahead of the manual. Maybe the manual is still being done by volunteers.

Re: [Flexradio] IQ data files
Hi Patrick, You might use sim2powersdr.exe from here: http://www.sm5bsz.com/lir/sim2/sim2.htm This program converts other 96 kHz .wav files to the PowerSDR format. Maybe it will not convert all possible 96 kHz .wav files, but it is a simpåle program available as source code. 73 Leif / SM5BSZ > I am looking for a source of downloadable IQ data files to play back with > PSDR pending my back order being filled for the F5K unit.

Re: [Flexradio] IQ data files
Patrick, If the 5000A is going to be your first real exposure to SDR I respectfully suggest that before worrying about playing back files you read every page in the manual. If you've already done that I suggest you go back and re-read every page in the manual. Then, finally, go back and read it a third time but this time stop at every unfamiliar word and go to the Flex knowledge base and read that! And then give some thought about exactly where you are going to place the greatest radio in the world. If you are one of the more fortunate whose hearing has not been affected by qualification for the "U.S. Rifle, Caliber 30, M1, Sir" I suggest you not put it in exactly the same position as your existing knob and button radio. Several feet off to the side and up or down will do just fine. If you get 10% of the satisfaction I feel from owning that fascinating electrical machine, your on the air comments will attract plenty of potential owners and Gerald will be pleased! 73 Lee K9WRU - Original Message - From: "Patrick Greenlee" To: Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 12:45 PM Subject: [Flexradio] IQ data files I am looking for a source of downloadable IQ data files to play back with PSDR pending my back order being filled for the F5K unit.
