Re: [Flexradio] clock ticking from sdr-1000
Another strange aspect of the SDR1K is the current drawn when 'off'. When it is switched on, before connecting the console, it draws 0.8 amp. If I switch the unit to off the current drawn goes up to 1.3 amps! The really strange thing is that the fan is on in the 'on' position, but off in the 'off' position... Doesn't happen on the older 0.5 Watt version, without a PA or a fan, that drops to nothing, or, rather, no detectable current on the PSU ammeter.

Re: [Flexradio] clock ticking from sdr-1000
Dave, I think this comes from the negative logic which is used to switch on/off the relays of the SDR1000. Many relay solenoids are actually energized in the position Standby and de-energized, depending on settings, in the ON position. The ON/STANDBY switch is IMHO merely a kind of softswitch and not really a circuit breaker which however can be found in the upper left corner of the front panel. vy 73 de SM6OMH Willi - Original Message - From: David Ackrill [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Douglas Shock [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Sent: Saturday, September 30, 2006 12:13 PM Subject: Re: [Flexradio] clock ticking from sdr-1000 Another strange aspect of the SDR1K is the current drawn when 'off'.

Re: [Flexradio] clock ticking from sdr-1000
Thanks for the various explanations. It did seem odd to be taking more power in the 'off' position. LOL As an Energy Efficiency Engineer, telling people to turn things off to save energy is part of what I do. It will be a difficult job to persuade my children that leaving the SDR1K on is actually saving energy. ;-) Dale Boresz wrote: Hello David, I belive this is due to an increase in PA quiescent current that occurs when power remains applied to the hardware and the PowerSDR console is not running. If you disconnect your PA (or do not have a PA installed), I don't think you'll see an increase in supply current any more -- at least not of the same magnitude -- under these same condx. If you at least keep the console running, but in 'Standby', you won't see this extra current; it only occurs when the console is completely closed down. 73, Dale WA8SRA David Ackrill wrote: Another strange aspect of the SDR1K is the current drawn when 'off'.

Re: [Flexradio] clock ticking from sdr-1000
Morning guys, I was told the ticking comes from the internal tuner, as it does not get completely powered off. Just look under the cover and you will see a LED lit up when the SDR is off. At least thats what I found. I got annoyed with it, so I came up with a way to disconnect power easily from the radio. 73 Mike - KM0T - Original Message - From: David Ackrill [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Sent: Saturday, September 30, 2006 6:35 AM Subject: Re: [Flexradio] clock ticking from sdr-1000 Thanks for the various explanations.

Re: [Flexradio] clock ticking from sdr-1000
They have won if you are afraid to say the word Jihad, or anything related to it. People that live in fear are not free people. It take a lot more than that one word to have NSA,s computers pick up on it, and then what? Nothing since these emails contains nothing subversive. My brother and some of my relatives are in the Mafia, you need a dolly to pick up my FBI file. That is one of the reasons I moved to Arkansas to get away from them, and being constantly followed by FBI people because they thought I might be involved. Actually some of the field people were pretty nice and admitted that following me was a waste of time, but they had an assignment to do. It must have been very boring, no Internet so I was constantly going to the library during my off time to look things up. Terrorist are not going to spoil my day, I will use those and any word I need to use without fear. Don't worry, be happy! At 02:44 AM 9/30/2006, you wrote: Cecil, Good joke, but don't Shock us.
