Re: [Flexradio] Power Out failure - 3000 W7 64 bit
Michael, et Al.: You know, when no one ever pays any attention to you (my lifetime experience) then you can pretty much say what you will without fear of hurting anyone with bad information! So here goes I've had my 3000 since shortly after they were available. Being retired and on a fixed income I have few worries about "gamer-class" computers. Since day one, my fire wire card and cable have been the original (selected from the lists of Flex Radio) and the computer is a rebuilt eBay $140 special which has never been connected to the internet and aside from the rare universal computer hic cups which require a reboot I simply don't have any of the "problems" I read about so often on this reflector. Oh, and I did want to mention that there are five PCs running in the shack. 5000A, knob and button, etc. each has its own computer. I don't try to push things. That's the same philosophy I use with the XYL and then things usually go smoothly. And I do realize that when Gerald gives me the new software I might have to get a new computer---maybe $160. 73 Lee K9WRU - Original Message - From: "Michael Walker" To: Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2011 5:32 AM Subject: [Flexradio] Power Out failure - 3000 W7 64 bit I seem to have this intermittent problem and I have been working directly with Tim and Gerald on this as well as other areas within the Flex team. ___ 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/
[Flexradio] Power Out failure - 3000 W7 64 bit
I seem to have this intermittent problem and I have been working directly with Tim and Gerald on this as well as other areas within the Flex team. There are 2 scenarios and this is on a Windows 7, 64 Bit both with and without an Intel Firewire card and both either in legacy mode and not in legacy mode. After a clean reboot, you turn on the radio, wait until Windows finds the firewire ports and then start PSDR. All looks good, but you have no power out. To recover, you: Shutdown PSDR Power off the radio Wait Power on the radio Wait Start PSDR All is good and now you have power The other scenario is that all is good. Then for no apparent reason, you loose power again (with no warning). It would be nice if PSDR would tell you when it has no RF out as the RF output meter on the Radio also shows 0 watts out. (Gerald, maybe we can add that with a warning popup--last night I was running 6M and couldn't figure out why no one was call me back). The recovery is the same as above. Last night, I worked 2 more contacts when I lost power again. I did the same recovery and then it worked fine for a few more hours. This is with the latest non-beta release. My ask to the community is have you seen this before and if so, how did you fix it. Remember, I have tried every combination of Firewire card, etc., (see above).
