Re: [Flexradio] SDR-1000 to USB
The SDR1000 must operate in 32 bit mode. That was the deciding factor for me in my recent purchase of a 1500. That being said...if your laptop will support virtualization you can download a XP emulator from Microsoft that will run in Win 7 Professional but not home version. I had to do that to support some RF design software that was heavily DOS based, but there seems to be a fairly high latency when running something in the XP shell due I guess to all the converting that the machine is having to do. It was worth the price of the 1500 to not have the whipping of having to operate with patch work software. Besides which the 1500 is much a slicker radio.

Re: [Flexradio] SDR
I read all about this and found it to be a very neat idea. You got button and knobs and you can reassign them to the order you want. I used it for a few days, changed some knobs around but could never find a place to put it on the shack table that fit in. Other have and enjoy. Seems like it was less than $100 BUCKS to try it. If I had it to do over again, I would have put that money toward a touch screen. I should have given this to someone that wanted one instead, I have purchased a Behringer Power Amp, Power Monitors, and a Behringer sound board for the shack and my new DJ in the Man Cave. If the Radio bands go dead, the music Bands take over the man cave! By the way, my new Alpha 9500 came in on Friday at 4:00 and was connected to the 5000A quickly and the Palstar HF-Auto and Palstar AT2k sat on top for any extra needs. Felt bad and ended up in the walkin clinic on Satruday morning getting a shot for a fall cold (sinus infection) and only got in 22 hours. Knocked out 777 QSOs so 35 QSO per hour is hot a lot, but when you were feeling well and rested, and had some family things to do, I was very plased with that many DX contact on one weekend. Had over 25 + comments about the audio and the signal strength from the Flex 5000a, Heil PR40, and Alpha 9500. The only thing that did not get finished is the extra 16 feet added to the tower with a new Force 12 Delta 4 SLX that was delayed by the companies sale and move from Texas to Colorado. With that, I will be able to hear all of those I was talking to. It worked like a charm today. Since the Alpha 9500 has a computer interface for operation of QRO for remote. I am putting that project after setting up the new D-Star repeater.

[Flexradio] SDR-1000 setup problems
Firstly, many thanks for those of you who responded to my pleas for help. The general advice was to install PowerSDR 1.x, make sure the SDR-1000 runs with that, then install a version of 2.x. I installed 1.8 and already had 2.3.5 on my PC (for my Flex1500). As soon as I ran 2.3.5, the parallel port and cable worked fine, relays latched and so on. The best explanation is that 1.x versions have one or more drivers in them than do 2.x versions, though nobody could suggest what! The main thing is that it now works and I can concentrate on getting it all calibrated and aligned. 73 Bob Towers MM0RKT ___ 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] SDR-1000 setup problems
I was recently offered a fully specced SDR-1000 for a price I couldn't refuse. It came with 100 watt amp, auto ATU, Presonus Firebox sound card and all the cables and driver CDs. For the past few evenings I have been trying to get the parallel port connection to work. I did all the things recommended in the troubleshooting section of the manual - LPT port addresses consistent, checked all the connections on the 25-pin lead, tried two LPT ports on separate PCs, etc - but no success at all, there was no connection between the PC and the SDR-1000. PowerSDR 2.2.6 just would not work: no relays latching, nothing. I vaguely remembered seeing a comment about loading up PowerSDR 1.x and trying that. I downloaded and ran 1.8.0, hit the start button and away it went. I connected up a cheap USB sound card in RX mode and had a listen about the bands. It sounded pretty good, even with that cheap sound card. I then ran 2.2.6 again, hit the start button and away it went. OK, it's only receive so far, but I'll get the Firebox connected and running and then I'll have a go at the TX. I may be wrong, but it seems to me that there's a file or two needed for the SDR-1000 in 1.8.0 which isn't in the 2.2.6 setup install. Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated! 73 and thanks in advance Bob Towers MM0RKT ___ 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] SDR-1000 and PowerSDR 2.5.3 upgrade: no receive
Hi -- I just upgraded to PowerSDR 2.5.3 (was running 2.3.5 with no problems) with my SDR-1000 and Windows XP. Everything went smoothly during the install. At any rate, the rig now acts like the antenna is disconnected. I can tune around, change modes and gain etc., but just hear residual noise at about -150 dB.

Hi K8IT Neil here. I just been cleaning and found a original set of SDR-1000 boards and cables that I purchased at Dayton in 2002. It appears that I need a parallel port and sound card to make this work. With today's windows 7 laptops I do not have anything but the internal sound card. What do I do for the parallel port? Will the internal sound card work? Is there a document with instructions to get this early version of the SDR-1000 going with the current software? Lastly What is the value of this SDR-1000 hardware?

[Flexradio] SDR-1000 and PowerSdr v2.5.3 notes
I just got powersdr v2.5.3 working with sdr-1000 -- I haven't worked with this in a long time. I have the flex radio usb adapter and a delta-44 card. This kb article is very helpful: http://kc.flexradio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50012.aspx?Keywords=delta-44 OS: window 7 64-bit. Delta-44 driver: 5.10.0.5074 I already had the sdr1kusb.dll and deltapnl.dll files on hand so I didn't have to hunt for those. 1. you have fixed the mouse wheel bug, good 2. works with the latest delta-44 driver, doesn't insist on setting the level api which isn't there anymore, good 3. I used the libusb-win32-bin-1.2.6.0.zip file from http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32/files/libusb-win32-releases/1.2.6.0/. They finally have a signed driver for this. 4. The powersdr UI is cutoff around the edges. I use 1920 x 1440 resolution with large fonts, and this is probably a dialog scaling issue. When will a WPF version of powersdr be available?

[Flexradio] SDR-3000 Issue
Some months back I switched from an SDR-1000 to an SDR-3000. The rig has been working fine from day one. Lots of solid air time. Days ago it started to crash. The unit will start fine, then pause a few minutes into operation. Windows displays the red warning box stating that my application requested to be shutdown in an unusual way. I also hear the hardware connect/disconnect tones that Windows plays. It is almost like I am losing the FireWire connection, just like the old days when the SRR-1000 would disappear for USB users.

Re: [Flexradio] SDR-3000 Issue
A few things, in no particular order - See if you can run the 3000 on another computer as this will help to eliminate if the problem is the computer or not - Make sure the firewire cable is firmly seated on both ends - Look at the windows event logs and see if you can get a clue of what crashed first - Did anything else change - Try resetting the PSDR database ( you can make a copy of your old one) - Could it be RF related (you don't say if you were transmitting or not) - Fire up the DPC Lantency checker and see if you computer is busy - It may be your hard drive starting to fail and it is in constant repair mode.

Re: [Flexradio] SDR-3000 Issue
RJ, If you have one of the gold colored firewire cables I would recommend getting one of the Granite Digital cables from Flex, and throwing the old one to the moon. The supplied cables sometimes last a few months and then they stop working. Regardless it will help with future troubleshooting and help eleminate one of the most common problems and help point you in the right direction. Good luck. My Heroes Wear Combat Boots!

Re: [Flexradio] SDR-3000 Issue
I too had a problem with the original Firewire cable on my F3K. It worked fine for about the first month and then the Firewire connection became unreliable. It went quickly down hill and got to the point where I couldn't even start PSDR. The cable was the last ting I suspected because what can go wrong with a cable that was originally OK and just sitting there undisturbed - Right? Wong!! After replacing the Firewire card to no avail and turning in a trouble ticked to Flex, I decided to take a shot in the dark and replace the cable. Problem solved!! That was several months ago now and it hasn't hiccuped since. Bye the way I was tired of waiting for parts to arrive in the mail so I just went to the local Radio Shack and bought one of their Gigiware cables. it's double shielded with gold plated pins and is performing flawlessly. 73, Rich - W3ZJ John Kramer wrote: Check out your firewire cable.

[Flexradio] SDR 2.4.4 drops audio
To all, I have been out of town, so I have not been following the discussion closely concerning the 2.4.4 version of PowerSDR, but was one of the issues an audio one? I have successfully installed 2.4.4 on a Flex 3000. It works fine, and I was checking to see if the drive settings changed with the new version. I checked all of the lower bands, but when I switched to 20 meters with the amplifier on, the audio freezes up with the amplifier on. It seems to work fine until I send the signal to the amplifier, and then the audio freezes up if I am sending more than a few hundred watts out. The only way I can get the audio back is to change the buffer size in the Audio- Primary tab. Any change will bring it back, but only until I amplify the signal again. Did I miss some discussion?

[Flexradio] SDR Programming Problems
I must be losing my mind as I age, because I have not been able to make the latest version of SDR work. I spent eight years in computer maintenance, did a little programming, but this new stuff has become very difficult to comprehend any more. Some of the users may be competent to handle this stuff, but not all ham's are as computer literate, or competent to handle this new SDR radio programming. I got the FLEX 5000A working when I first got it a few years ago. I loved the features that it provided and actually operating the radio was not too difficult. The problem comes when updating the operating system programs. There are many abbreviations being used that are simply Greek to me. Unless the manufacturer of these radios intend to limit their use to a restricted number of Ham's, there will have to be some way of automatically re-programming these radios. I have both the Flex 5000A and the Flex 1500 and they are both fine operating devices, but only if one can get them programmed without a degree in computer programming. Can you imagine how popular the cell phone would be if you had to do the same technical level of programming to make them first operate as a SDR radio now requires? I hope something can be done to make setting up a SDR a little easier than it presently is.

Re: [Flexradio] SDR Programming Problems
Russ's theme seems to be about documentation which is particularly difficult to write in the software world. Some basics should be followed. The author must put himself in the users position and write from the perspective that the user knows little or nothing, but is not stupid. Any acronym should be parrend with its words the first time it is used in any section of a document. Footnotes for other references on that subject are always useful. Documentation should focus in each section on how to do (or define) specific tasks. That means the total document may become quite large and admittedly has a lot of redundancy, but a user can locate a specific, inclusive section to help him. Etc. I, for one, find it hard to locate information when it is scattered among the manual, specific articles, release notes and the reflector, if not various sections of the same document. But, I suppose that is just how it is today, albeit often frustrating. This is not meant to be a gripe. I'm just echoing Russ's feelings and offering a few suggestions.

Re: [Flexradio] SDR Programming Problems
Russ It seems to be a problem in the industry, however, I think that Flex is much better at it. I took the PDF of the users manual to Staples and had it printed out so I could make notes in it. It is interesting that I had to have an email from Gerald stating it was OK for me to do it as it is copywrited material. I also believe that someone on this reflector does sell printed copies. The manual is pretty darn good. However, that doesn't help you today. What you will find is that Flex will dial in and help you through things. They do this with patience and they want to make sure it is all good for you. I would like to see Kenwood do that! :) Once you get to that point, we are all here to help.

Re: [Flexradio] SDR Programming Problems
On Thu, Mar 8, 2012 at 7:56 PM, H. Russ Hughes russwa7...@owt.com wrote: I hope something can be done to make setting up a SDR a little easier than it presently is. All technology tends to go through three stages of development: 1. The first stage is early implementation of a new technology with few features. This stage tends to be characterized by very few options and controls, and equally poor performance. Of course, everyone is amazed that it works at all. 2. The second stage is an improvement with many new features but a huge uptick in complexity. The number of controls and the concomitant required knowledge on the part of the operator multiplies almost exponentially. 3. The third stage is where the technology reaches maturity. The key that a technology has reached this point is what I call elegant simplicity. What can be automated has been automated and the now unnecessary and redundant controls disappear. Those that remain are simple and [more or less] intuitive to use. We see these stages in many technologies. Aviation is a great example. Early aircraft were dirt simple. There were few controls and few gauges. By the time the '50s rolled around, aircraft had become amazingly complex to the point where you needed three or four people to operate them. Today the cockpit is so much simpler and the only reason we have two people up there is because we really want redundancy, not because the aircraft really needs two people doing the work. Follow the development of spark, analog radios, and now SDR. (Even though they all send and receive signals in the radio portion of the spectrum, I see these as different technologies.) They all are going through the same sequence. It is just that, SDR hasn't completed the process ... yet. In addition, the shift from hardware to software tends to lead to the creation of new features that are, frankly, mostly useless. This seems to be a problem that has REALLY afflicted the design of amateur handheld radios. (Try to use some of the current crop of small and handheld radios without the manual in hand!) IMHO PowerSDR has reached the second stage. We have discovered all kinds of new things we can do but the result is a huge multiplication of the controls without any sort of simplification of how we use them. We also have lots of controls that could be automated or eliminated without changing the actual functionality. But in the mean time, we have to learn how to set them. Buffer settings, DSP settings, panadaptor range settings, and transmit audio chain settings are all perfect examples. While all of this is necessary, it is unnecessarily complex for the operator to use. But that doesn't mean it is bad. The complexity is the result of getting the new ideas out there so that we can determine their usefulness. As we use them and decide to keep them, continued development will lead to progression toward elegant simplicity, where things just work right without the operator having to fiddle with a bunch of controls because ... it is possible to set those controls automatically and then make them disappear. But I bet you have been here before, right? Remember the days of separate transmitters, receivers, and amplifiers? Remember having to adjust inter-stage tuning because the post-oscillator buffer was used on the fundmental, as a doubler, or a tripler, depending on band? Remember changing coils? Remember zero-beating your RX to your TX? Remember carrying on split QSOs because you were both rockbound but with different TX frequencies? Remember having to adjust and measure grid bias, grid voltage, grid current, screen voltage, screen current, plate voltage, plate current, input tuning, output tuning, output loading, etc.? It was bloody complex but that is what you did because it was what the technology required. If you didn't understand, you didn't operate! Now you buy a radio, plug it in, select the band, tune the signal, and start transmitting. No sweat. See the progression? So Russ, welcome to the middle stage. Instead of oscillator buffer tuning you now have DSP buffer size setting. You are going to have to get used to it. You have a choice: learn how this stuff works now or wait until someone gets around to automating things. Yes, it has gotten more complex. Yes, Flex needs to spend some serious time figuring out how to automate many of the features they have thought up. And, yes, some of them will not admit to simplification and you will just have to apply the skull-sweat necessary to master them. The technical aspects of this hobby isn't for everybody, but then, it never was in the past either. So, welcome to the future. You have to run just to stay in one place and not be left behind. Sometimes it is hard work. But the hard work is fun and rewarding because it will let you do things now that the other guys are just standing and waiting for. 73 OM! -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682

Re: [Flexradio] SDR defined
Wikipedia has a definition and discussion of software defined radios. The page also has a link to a list of software-defined-radios, obviously incomplete as it does not include Flex. The link is at the bottom of the article in the section See Also. It also has a link to a list of web-based software-defined receivers in the section External Links. A Google search turns up more definitions of SDR. There seems to be a difference of opinion whether code stored in a ROM (fixed or reprogrammable) qualifies as software. The military JTRS (Joint Tactical Radio System) program is a long running program to produce a common radio platform (the hardware) to run all the military radio waveforms (the software). Their experience provides solid evidence that the software is not necessarily easier to create or to change than is the hardware. For what it's worth, JTRS is understood to be an SDR and the software is stored in ROM. As this discussion thread has highlighted, there are many ways to implement some of the functions of a radio in software. I happen to be quite fond of the way Flex Radio Systems does it.

For the first time since owning the SDR-1000 I am trying to use an Ameritron AL-811H. I have the M0ZAZ Poor Man's Interface connected to the rig, with an RCA cord from SDR-1000 to amp. When I place the amp on operate, the led glows lightly, as if some RF is reaching the amp without keying the rig. This does not happen with my ICOM 746-Pro. Any input on what may be causing the amp to act this way is appreciated.

Re: [Flexradio] SDR-1000 makes clicking sound when not powered on butDC available
If PowerSDR is off, the PC and SDR1K powered up and relays are clicking, then there is a probability that the relay clicks are causes by phantom voltages on the parallel card since all the parallel card is doing is bit banging the SDR1K. If either the SDR1K and/or the PC are powered off, this should not happen. If the SDR-1000 is powered off, check to see if voltage is leaking through the switch. I don't see how the relays could click if there is no power on the SDR-1000 at all. -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Edwin Marzan Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2011 12:08 AM To: whit...@usa.net; hubb...@hotmail.com; flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] SDR-1000 makes clicking sound when not powered on butDC available How can one confirm if it was voltage spikes on the parallel port?

This may be an easy one. My SDR-1000 clicks when not powered on but DC power is available to it. The click is not particularly loud but is enough to be annoying. Of course it stops when one power lead is lifted from the power cube but that's a little annoying to have to do.

[Flexradio] SDR V2.019
What exactly does the function DX (between mic and cpdr do ? I have mine set at 4, whenever i kick it on everyone gives me better reports. Is it just an increase in Mic gain ? ___ 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/
Re: [Flexradio] SDR V2.019
Hi Louie, Both CPDR and DX are settings of a Compander, which means compressor/expander. It compresses or expands as needed to increase average power and works somewhat like an RF clipper. It can add close to an S unit of average power. The human voice has an average power of only about 15% of peak power, as I recall. That means for 100W PEP, your voice might average 15W or so. The compander allows you to significantly increase talk power for the same peak output. DX is actually a higher compression version of CPDR. It picks up about where CPDR leaves off. Note that you will need to readjust microphone gain when you turn on eather DX or CPDR. Set the gain so that the ALC meter peaks just under 0 dB for best audio. 73, Gerald Gerald Youngblood, K5SDR President and CEO FlexRadio Systems(TM) 13091 Pond Springs Road, #250 Austin, TX 78729 Phone: 512-535-4713 Ext. 202 Email: ger...@flexradio.com Web: www.flexradio.com Tune In Excitement (TM) PowerSDR(TM) is a trademark of FlexRadio Systems On Sun, Mar 13, 2011 at 8:56 PM, Louie Hanson Jr. ah92...@windstream.net wrote: What exactly does the function DX (between mic and cpdr do ?

Re: [Flexradio] SDR 1K CW
Sure. It's just a paddle closure. You would just connect the straight key to the tip and leave nothing on the ring. Put ground on the sleeve. Same wiring really, just turn Iambic off on the software.

[Flexradio] SDR 1000 USB Microphone
I currently use an SDR1000 Delta 44 combination. My current Microphone is plugged directly into the Delta 44. I have read various articles recommending a Pre-Amp for this setup but have never got round to installing one, I get by OK though. Having said that, I've had for some time a good quality USB desk Mic and would like to give this a try with my SDR. I've tried various mixtures of VAC Windows mixer settings but can't get the thing to work with PowerSDR. Searching old posts there is some mention of USB headsets but no specific detail of the setup. Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

[Flexradio] SDR-1000 X2 External Control connector question
There are seven open collector control pins that can be configured with the External Control Tab to go logic high on either transmit or receive depending onhow youm configure them.

Re: [Flexradio] SDR-1000 X2 External Control connector question
I think they are talking about TTL logic levels - read up on TTL transition levels on google. IIRC, HIGH is maybe 3-4V.

Re: [Flexradio] SDR-1000 X2 External Control connector question
Doug, As you noted, the X2 outputs are open-collector. Logic High turns the transistor on, which will result in a collector-to-ground voltage of a few tenths of a volt. Logic Low turns the transistor off, resulting in the collector voltage rising to whatever the pull-up voltage is in the device being driven. When dealing with open-collector circuits, it may be less confusing to think in terms of current levels instead of voltage levels -- Low = no current flow, High = Max current flow. 73, Ray, K9DUR http://k9dur.info ___ 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] SDR-1000 problem- No Frd Pwr reading
I have two SDR-1000 transceivers both with the 100W PA and ATU. One of them does not read forward power, although by using a Bird watt meter I measure full output and after calibrating power output with the Bird wattmeter the Drive slider shows power pretty accurately. I suspect this might be a bad diode in the power/SWR reading circuit. Is there a picture of that online? Any ideas?
