Re: [Flexradio] X2 sequency: bug ?
Let me add my last weekend's experiences when I tried to connect an external 6m PA to the SDR1K to participate at the good 50MHz propagations in Europe: Enabling X2 Pin #1 for 6m in the receive and transmit field at Ext. Ctrl, activates pin #1 ONLY in receive status (when transmitting pin 1 is not active). This applies for version 1.4.4. Version 1.4.3 works in this respect as it should. I tested this only for above situation and not for other bands or pin numbers. 73, Werner DL2JA -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 31.

The strange thing about this bug is that it happens on some PCs, and not others. I have a Dell machine here in the office that does not show the issue (my development machine), but another home built PC has the same issue. I have been over and over the code, but have not been able to hunt this one down. Perhaps we could get some information from others in order to get a better understanding of why it happens on one PC and not others. Here is a procedure to follow to see if it happens: 1. With a fresh database, open the PowerSDR software and follow the wizard prompts for your hardware configuration. 2. Open the Setup form and go to the Ext Ctrl page. 3. Mark Pin 1 on 20m TX and hit the apply button. 4. Return to the front console and go to 20m. 5. Power on the console and monitor X2 Pin 1 while pressing the MOX button. The pin should go high (without a pull-up, it won't be 5V). This works every time here. 6. Now go back to the Setup Form -> General Tab and mark the checkbox to "Enable X2 TR Sequencing". 7. Repeat step 5 and see if you get the same results. I'll be interested in seeing how many others have this issue.

Re: [Flexradio] X2 sequency: bug ?
Eric, thank you for reply, i will make the test this evening at home. I've missed to tell that the x2 "1 to 6 test check boxex" work ok with or without the X2 checked 73 Beppe IK3VIG At 17.54 31/08/2005, you wrote: This is a bug/feature that has been reported by Mike KM0T and Terry W0VB.
