Re: [Flexradio] Problem with SDR in MOX
There has been a huge flurry of upgrades running around all over the place upgrading mailman, massive security holes have been plugged about four versions ago in the phpBB that the forum is based upon. We lost the archive here twice in the past two weeks whilst these upgrades were happening and some things just are mysterious when you have all these fixes and upgrades being done. See you this weekend!

Re: [Flexradio] Problem with SDR in MOX
Is your rig actually being keyed up? Absolutely, I had the rig on a dummy load for testing purposes. Its the 1 watter fyi. Check your printer port. I got the symptoms you did by having the wrong printer port address. As far as I can tell, the printer address is also not altered by importing a database. Not at the rig right now, but I will check the address. I did not import any database and this was a completly fine working system, why would anything change the printer port address? Im still scratchin my head on this one. I have not disconnected the parrellel cable yet from the SDR-1000, guess I will do that next. However with no power on the radio hardware, I did not think that would be an issue.

Re: [Flexradio] Problem with SDR in MOX
Mike, This is probably a parallel cable connection issue. If the parallel cable is not properly seated, it is the same as asserting PTT. Check the parallel connections on both ends. You can disable PTT on the SetupGeneral tab to prove that the PTT is being asserted. One further note, you always have to disable PTT when you want to run the software without attachment to hardware. 73, Gerald -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mike King - KM0T Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 7:50 AM To: 'FlexRadio Mailing List' Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Problem with SDR in MOX Is your rig actually being keyed up?

Re: [Flexradio] Problem with SDR in MOX
Mike, With the power turned off to the radio, PTT is asserted. This comes as a result of the natural polarity state of the pins used for PTT. There was a problem in 1.4.3 that caused PTT to get stuck in such an instance. This has been addressed internally and will be seen in the next release.

No MOX problem after having 3.3 kohm connected between X2-14 and X2-11. 73 de Ahti OH2RZ - Original Message - From: Eric [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'FlexRadio - Eric' [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'Mike King - KM0T' [EMAIL PROTECTED]; FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 6:00 PM Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Problem with SDR in MOX Let me correct myself by noting that Gerald's message is more correct. It is not powering off the radio that puts it into PTT, but rather having an unterminated parallel port/cable that causes problems. Eric
