Re: [Flexradio] Memories vanished twice
Now I understand that once it disappears why opening an older version of SDR also has erased memories.

I have had that happen several times. The first time was after I had accumulated about 50 memory entries. Needless to say, I was highly pissed. Of course I had no hard copy of the data. It managed to trash the memory.xml file six times that day. And yes, I did reboot the computer - several times - with no change in behavior. It's only done it a couple of times since then, thankfully. > Is there a good way to back up the memories? I find this very > frustrating. Frustrating indeed! Apparently the PSDR software is not very careful about how it handles the xml files. I have found that the program apparently reads the file into memory when the program opens, then writes it back to disk when you close the memory screen. Then PSDR writes it to disk yet again when you shut down PSDR. That's too many chances to damage the data file. It never makes a temporary copy of the file, as far as I can see. What I have done is to make a quick link on my Windows desktop to the directory where the memory.xml file lives, which, on my WIN-XP system, is: "C:\Documents and Settings\Ralph\Application Data\Flexradio Systems." Clicking that link opens the directory, and then I can make a copy of the memory.xml file and save it somewhere. I make a copy every time I make a change in the memory entries. Then, when PSDR blows the file away, I can restore it. On a side note, I have a feeling that something similar also happens to the main database file when certain settings become corrupted for no apparent reason, such as filter settings suddenly turning into - to values for USB mode. Or when the TX power setting changes from 40 to 100 all by itself. That really makes my ALS-1300 try to jump off the table! Usually I can just edit the database file, sometimes I have to restore it from my backup file. 73, Ralph W5JGV - WD2XSH/7 ___ 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.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/

Thanks for the info, Ray!

Obviously PowerSDR doesn't support those new fields, but at least the program accepts the new structure without problems. At the time when I suggested a customizable memory window allowing the user to configure which fields he wants to fill in or edit, the development team were doing more important things (I agree totally) and the memory feature was regarded as something crude which needed a total redesign, probably going to xml instead of Access structures and this remains there until now. A workaround for my needs was to use an external logging program with CAT support. 73 de Ignacio, EB4APL ___ 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://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/

Re: [Flexradio] Memories
Depends on what you want to use the mic for. If you are wanting to do ESSB or AM, either mic is an excellent choice. IMHO, the PR-40 sounds a little better. If you want a all around very good dynamic microphone, the PR-781 is a good choice. Both are balanced dynamic microphones. The PR-40 has a greater frequency response than the PR-781. The PR-40's frequency response is 28 Hz to 18 KHz and the PR-781's is 50 Hz to 16 KHz - both well within the range of the human voice. Both mics have a polar pattern is super cardioid (http://www.crownaudio.com/mic_web/tips/mictip2.htm). Both have a 600 ohm nominal impedance. Both have a very flat frequency response curve with no pre-emphasis in the 1-2 KHz range like other ham radio mics do. This is important because the FLEX-500 has a very flat frequency response and does not color the input audio. A lot of ham rigs have microphone preamps that also add pre-emphasis in the 1-2 KHz range. The PR-40 is a professional broadcast mic and is utilized for live recording because it can handle the higher sound pressure environments. It is probably built to handle rough environments like being dropped on stage (this I have never tried). It has an output level of -53.9 dB. The PR-781 is a mic specifically designed for amateur radio use. It has an output level of -55 dB output. And it costs a LOT less. As such it has design compromises and specifications that balance performance vs. cost. I have used both and I can tell a sound quality difference in the way both perform. The PR-40 is a bit "smoother and natural" sound and reproduces my voice a little better. Is the PR-40 $200 better than a PR-781? That depends on what you can afford to spend. Some people get a great sound using a lot less expensive mics with the correct EQing. I currently use a PR-40 connected directly to the FLEX-5000's balanced input on the back and use the 10-band EQ in PowerSDR to make myself sound as natural as possible. I have tried several microphone channel strips, but always seem to come back to the direct connection. I guess I have not found a preamp/downward expander/gate that I am totally satisfied with yet. I am still waiting on a software downward expander (the enhancement request has been in for a while) in PowerSDR. I know a lot of people use the EQplus from Julius (W2IHY) and that is a great piece of outboard audio hardware. I have a EQplus connected to several Icom rigs with a ProSet Plus iC headset. If the EQplus had multiple microphone inputs, I'd probably use it with the PR-40 and the FLEX-5000 too. Buying either mic you can't go wrong. -Tim -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Ericksen Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2008 9:19 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Memories I am anxiously awaiting the delivery of my brand spanking new Flex 5000A, and I am looking for a good microphone.

Re: [Flexradio] Memories
Tim .. Ray ... Adding additional band stack memories is a neat feature because I've never found three adequate. The thing I would change is the ability to "fix" the information in the stack. What I would like to be able to do is say click on 80 meters and bring up a preset frequency, mode,filter. Click it again and get the next 80 meter preset frequency, mode, filter. ETC. This feature could be in the "setup" menu and simply clicking a box would allow the SDR to remember the band stack information, to be recalled anytime, rather than allow the information to change on the fly. --Larry W8ER Tim Ellison wrote: > You can add more bands stack registers. > > The how to is in the Knowledge base > > http://kb.flex-radio.com/article.aspx?id=10134 > > > -Tim > - > Integrated Technical Services > > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ray J > Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2007 5:26 PM > To: Flex Radio refelector > Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Memories > > there is already something, like this in place...the band stacking > functions.. you hit the band button 3 times , theres 3 different > "memory" setups per band ... it remembers filter settings, and mode, > there might be more? ... > > > Ray J > > W9RAY > 6m-13cm > EN44gt > www.w9ray.org > > Lee A Crocker wrote: > >> I wish there were multiple scratch pad memories.

Re: [Flexradio] Memories
The beauty of the Flex SDR-1000 and the software is that we can even discuss issues such as the memory management functions, with the real possibility of changes in updates. Sure can't expect that with the other manufacturers out there. I think a lot of what is being discussed here can be done now with third party software, such as Ham Radio Deluxe. However, not always convenient to run or use. Would be nice to have some of these enhanced memory features included in the PowerFlex program, or whatever you will call the new program Flex is working on. You Flex guys/gurus are working on a new program, right? Love my Flex! John, N3WT Lee A Crocker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I wish there were multiple scratch pad memories. I > would like 3 or 4.

Re: [Flexradio] Memories
I wish there were multiple scratch pad memories. I would like 3 or 4. The way I would like to see them accessed from the console is each time you hit save it would enter into the displayed memory. Each time you hit recall it would return to that same memory. To toggle through memories I would like to right click recall, to go back to the freq i was on before I touched the memory button I would right click save. I would like the contents of each memory displayed as it is toggled. I also would like the memories to do a more complete memorization of selected functions including vfo-a, vfo-b, split status, 2nd rx status including the relative volumes and stereo spatial relationships, RF, AF, Power, filter, mode, agc, and preamp. If you are DX-ing and waiting for a station to build or the pile-up to thin, or the DX to go from working EU to USA, you can setup on a station optimizing all the parameters and then memorize the setup, and then tune the band while waiting. You could be listening to 2 or 3 of these even on different bands. By right clicking the save button you could rapidly toggle between where you were last tuning and the selected memory, in other words the info of VFO-A would be stored in a memory just prior to recall of a stored mem and right clicking save would toggle between this store of VFO-a and what ever memory was being recalled.
