Re: [Flexradio] USB Adapter Disabling itself for no apparent reason?

2006-09-04 Thread Gerald Capodieci
I've found this problem with USB connections. I simply unplug the device and 
plug it back in then it usually connects. I'll look in to it, I do not know how 
to make it more persistant at this time.

Flex sent me another usb cable and the problem persisted.

On the download section I think there is a utility to help diagnose this
issue but I haven't had time to try it out yet.

Hi Tim, Gerald and all,

That is good advice, but don't forget to check the USB connection on
the set-up window. However, it is irritating that all the small
switching transients coming from the mains power circuits trigger the
USB adapter off.

There is no better help but good grounding of your house mains power
system, and even better in your hamshack for your computer, all
peripherial equipment, the radio itself, of course, and finally the
RF-ground. How to lay out all the grounding cables and points and draw
the signal cables to avoid grounding loops, that is more art than
science.  Every location is different, I simply can't give any
suggestions. If you cannot eliminate  the transient, you still can
suppress its influence to the sensitive USB circuits.

The apparent reason of your problem is the common mode transient
current that somehow got coupled to your USB cable. You can reduce the
coupled current (and the interference) by increasing the common mode
impedance of the cable. Use ferrite chokes at both ends of the cable.
I use four turns of cable around the center pole of a double E-core
made of grade N27 ferrite.

Good luck and 73, Ahti OH2RZ
