[Flexradio] dropout problem
Weird dropout problem: When my Flex 5000A is in the AM mode and running 5 watts of carrier (carrier level at 25%), with no audio just carrier, into a dummy load, there are extremely short intermittent dropouts of the carrier. The scope sees a flicker, but the dropout is so short that the wattmeter doesn't show any change. In a key down position for aprox 4 minutes, there will be only 2 or 3 dropouts. Dropouts are also heard on AM receive as a brief pop sound. I never noticed this in the SSB mode. I changed my audio from 96,000 at 2048 to 48,000 at 2048 and the problem disappeared. I'm perfectly happy with the 48,000 setting and am writing this just to try and understand what strange thing is going on. While running the tests, there are no other programs running that I initiated. There is no reason for me to change my current settings because everything is running fine, I'm just curious. Version 2.0.16, computer is multiple I7 cpu's, running Win 7 Pro. 73, Ken W2DTC ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/

Are you using the legacy 1394 driver? http://kc.flexradio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50433.aspx -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of ken Sent: Friday, November 26, 2010 2:30 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] dropout problem Weird dropout problem: When my Flex 5000A is in the AM mode and running 5 watts of carrier (carrier level at 25%), with no audio just carrier, into a dummy load, there are extremely short intermittent dropouts of the carrier.

Re: [Flexradio] dropout problem
From: Tim Ellison telli...@itsco.com Please let me know if it helps. Hi Tim, THE LEGACY DRIVER WORKED !! Many thanks for your help !! I will probably keep the settings at 96,000 and 2048. The panadapter display is centered better at 96K than at 48K. It's a nice feeling when everything works as it should. Thanks again !! 73, Ken W2DTC -Original Message- From: ken [mailto:kenw2...@comcast.net] Sent: Friday, November 26, 2010 4:19 PM To: Tim Ellison Subject: Re: [Flexradio] dropout problem Hi Tim, No I'm using the Texas Instruments 1394 OHCI driver. I'm going out now, but late tonight I will try the legacy driver and change back to 96.000 and give it a try.
