[Flexradio] USB-parallel drop out.
I know that this issue has been raised before but would appreciate hearing peoples solutions. My PC (Dell E521) doesn't have a parallel port. It has only two PCI slots - one is used for a modem (we live too far away from the exchange and can't get Broadband so have dial-up!), the other for the Delta 44. So, I use the Flexradio supplied USB-parallel adaptor. It is a pain! Even when not using the computer for any other purpose, the adaptor may drop out. Power SDR then has to be shut down and restarted, and told the adaptor is in place. If you don't shut it down, but just go to Setup, it won't accept ticking the adaptor box. Any tips/tricks gratefully received. 73 David, G4YTL ___ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/

David, Perhaps a heavy common mode choke at both ends of your USB-to-parallel cable will help.

Hi David, Have the same problems, not sorted out jet. It seems that the USB adapter is very critical on the 5 volt power. try a USB switch with external power supply 73 peter pa0pvn groeten Peter petervn(a)hetnet.nl mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ; pa0pvn(a)hetnet.nl mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ; pa0pvn(a)gmail.com ; pa0pvn(a)amsat.org .
