Re: [Flexradio] Using Digital Master 780 with Flex 5000a
I agree that there have been a lot of reports of issues with v4.13, but I think you went too farin your down grade. Get v4.12 and try it. V4.09 uses an interrupt method for processing the audio datarather than the streaming method introduced in 4.10 and in my humble opinion, perfected in v4.12. There is better (lower) latency with v4.12 If you need help creating the VAC cable definitions, then you can use this registry file to create 7 VAC channels (6 is the max you can use with a 5000+RX2 and a 1500 running on the same PC and 1 channel to use as the Windows default sound device if your PC does not have a sound card or is one where the input/output lines are not active unless you have something plugged into it) http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx?id=396 Tim Ellison, W4TME Customer Experience Manager FlexRadio Systems™ 4616 W Howard Ln, Suite 1-150 Austin, TX 78728 Phone: 512-535-4713 Ext. 223 Email: t...@flexradio.com mailto:t...@flexradio.com Web: www.flexradio.com http://www.flexradio.com logo On 3/15/2014 11:28 AM, Keith Watson wrote: Well, I believe I figured it out.

Re: [Flexradio] Using Digital Master 780 with Flex 5000a
If I remember correctly, there was a code change in 4.12 that fixed a threading bug that made VAC work more efficiently on multi-core CPUs. But that was the only significant change between 4.11 and 4.12 that would affect PowerSDR usage.

Re: [Flexradio] Using Digital Master 780 with Flex 5000a
Hi Bob, I do understand the relationship of the HRD server and the other HRD applications. Yes, I do have that checked in DDUtil. All the pieces are working together. It is just that the copy from PSK from any of the digital apps is terrible. Keith...

Here is what I used: VAC 4.12 (virtual audio cables) VSPE (Eterlogic virtual port software) DDUtil Ver 3.0 (communicates between PSDR and DM-780, radio frequency and turn on HRD server) I've been following your dilemma for a couple of days and I have never heard you talk about the HRD server. In DDUtil v3 there is a check off that allows you to turn it on. Without it turned on DM-780 doesn't know what to do. Don't forget DM-780 was never designed to be stand alone, it requires HRD to be running to make it work. The server.
