Hi, I'm pursuing this card a long time but the author has depleted his stock years ago and still he has not made another batch, I ask him about twice a year and probably the Luis' suggestion of building our own unit given that all the info is available is the best way for getting one. 73 de Ignacio EB4APL P.D.

Re: [Flexradio] SDR-1000 to USB
The SDR1000 must operate in 32 bit mode. That was the deciding factor for me in my recent purchase of a 1500. That being said...if your laptop will support virtualization you can download a XP emulator from Microsoft that will run in Win 7 Professional but not home version. I had to do that to support some RF design software that was heavily DOS based, but there seems to be a fairly high latency when running something in the XP shell due I guess to all the converting that the machine is having to do. It was worth the price of the 1500 to not have the whipping of having to operate with "patch work" software. Besides which the 1500 is much a slicker radio.

[Flexradio] SDR-1000 setup problems
Firstly, many thanks for those of you who responded to my pleas for help. The general advice was to install PowerSDR 1.x, make sure the SDR-1000 runs with that, then install a version of 2.x. I installed 1.8 and already had 2.3.5 on my PC (for my Flex1500). As soon as I ran 2.3.5, the parallel port and cable worked fine, relays latched and so on. The best explanation is that 1.x versions have one or more drivers in them than do 2.x versions, though nobody could suggest what! The main thing is that it now works and I can concentrate on getting it all calibrated and aligned. 73 Bob Towers MM0RKT ___ 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/

[Flexradio] SDR-1000 and PowerSdr v2.5.3 notes
I just got powersdr v2.5.3 working with sdr-1000 -- I haven't worked with this in a long time. I have the flex radio usb adapter and a delta-44 card. This kb article is very helpful: http://kc.flexradio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50012.aspx?Keywords=delta-44 OS: window 7 64-bit. Delta-44 driver: 5.10.0.5074 I already had the sdr1kusb.dll and deltapnl.dll files on hand so I didn't have to hunt for those. 1. you have fixed the mouse wheel bug, good 2. works with the latest delta-44 driver, doesn't insist on setting the level api which isn't there anymore, good 3. I used the libusb-win32-bin-1.2.6.0.zip file from http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32/files/libusb-win32-releases/1.2.6.0/. They finally have a signed driver for this. 4. The powersdr UI is cutoff around the edges. I use 1920 x 1440 resolution with large fonts, and this is probably a dialog scaling issue. When will a WPF version of powersdr be available? I did a prototype of this a few years ago and it's not that hard to do. ___ 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/

For the first time since owning the SDR-1000 I am trying to use an Ameritron AL-811H. I have the M0ZAZ Poor Man's Interface connected to the rig, with an RCA cord from SDR-1000 to amp. When I place the amp on operate, the led glows lightly, as if some RF is reaching the amp without keying the rig. This does not happen with my ICOM 746-Pro.

Re: [Flexradio] SDR-1000 makes clicking sound when not powered on butDC available
If PowerSDR is off, the PC and SDR1K powered up and relays are clicking, then there is a probability that the relay clicks are causes by "phantom" voltages on the parallel card since all the parallel card is doing is "bit banging" the SDR1K. If either the SDR1K and/or the PC are powered off, this should not happen. If the SDR-1000 is powered off, check to see if voltage is leaking through the switch. I don't see how the relays could click if there is no power on the SDR-1000 at all. -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Edwin Marzan Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2011 12:08 AM To: whit...@usa.net; hubb...@hotmail.com; flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] SDR-1000 makes clicking sound when not powered on butDC available How can one confirm if it was voltage spikes on the parallel port?

Re: [Flexradio] SDR-1000 X2 External Control connector question
Doug, As you noted, the X2 outputs are open-collector. Logic "High" turns the transistor on, which will result in a collector-to-ground voltage of a few tenths of a volt. Logic "Low" turns the transistor off, resulting in the collector voltage rising to whatever the pull-up voltage is in the device being driven. When dealing with open-collector circuits, it may be less confusing to think in terms of current levels instead of voltage levels -- Low = no current flow, High = Max current flow. 73, Ray, K9DUR http://k9dur.info ___ 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/

Re: [Flexradio] SDR-1000 with excessive echo in audio
With the SDR-1000 echo can be caused from poorly seated audio cables, RF getting into the audio cables, ground loops (and there are lot of them depending on the sound card being used), leaving the MON on, or a power supply that is not well regulated (voltage drop on transmit). Remember, if you created a new DB for the SDR-1000, you must go through a re-calibration cycle. You can import a previous database, but it is a best practice to do it every time up create a new DB. This "best practice" is not necessary with firmware based SDRs like the FLEX-xx00s since the calibration data is stored in the EEPROM. -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of L.

Re: [Flexradio] SDR 1000 Bob's S meter
Brian, Thanks for your thoughtful response. I switched back to an older configuration using Power SDR 1.18.6 on a partition with XP Pro and the same SDR 1000 was operating quite normally there. Both S meters were giving the same reading and sensitivity was fine. I could pick up WWV on 10 and 15 MHz fine (WWV is a weak signal in Australia). Re-booting back to Win 7 and PSDR 2.0.8 and also 2.8.16 gave the performance I am concerned about again, and WWV was not there. Nothing else was changed, including lighting. Changing the database does not help. It is hard to believe that there is not something in the latest betas of PSDR that is causing this problem. I think that the different S meter readings may be a clue.

Re: [Flexradio] sdr-1000 stopped tuning
I hadn't used the SDR1000 since I got my F1500, but fired it up today and appear to have the same problem. Oh good,(well, sorta, for me) I was afraid I was the only one. Kinda quiet on this topic till you commented. To me, this sort of feels like a problem with the Local Oscillator, like I'm not actually injecting the right frequency (or any?) into the mixers. When there are no signals in the passband, I've taken another shack receiver and tried to hear the LO, but don't hear anything near the frequency. I haven't had it come up with signals since I thought of that, so I haven't been able to check for LO then. That is what it looks like to me. I set the rx to 14.200, and used my HP8640 sig gen to provide a -30dBm source, and swept it from 1 to 60MHz. No sign of any signal on the widest setting of the panadaptor or waterfall. I would think that even if there was a problem on the RFE board there would be enough bleedthrough to at least see something. I was working on it again last night and for a while it did come up on 75 meters and I was able to confirm that I can hear the LO 9 khz down on my TS2000. I tried it on transmit, and there is no detectable output. I don't see any output either, but I get a high SWR warning and the output power shows like 596 watts. But nothing on the wattmeter connected to the dummy load. It seems like the DDS has got fried somehow. The way I have the shack set up the SDR1K is a bit difficult to get to, but I'll clear a space, open it up and have a dig around. I have the schematics, but I don't know if any of the test points are accessible. In poking around with mine last night, I am getting suspicious that the DDS isn't fried, but being programmed out someplace weird. The fact that you did a wide band sweep and got no response may be different than what I'm seeing. At one point last night, I had 75 meters, going, and then changed to 40 meters. I had the *same* signals and audio in the passband, but the signals were quite attenuated, as if the band pass filters had switched correctly, but the DDS didn't move frequency. More experimentation had me on 75 meters, but the frequency would move a bit and then slide back to the same place, as if it had stepped a couple of steps, then 'slipped' back. This was making me suspicious of the data path in from the parallel cable. Eventually I found that if I pushed or flexed the parallel port connector, that I could make the frequency change correctly, or not. So it's looking more like in my case that I have a problem in how the parallel port data is getting processed and handed off to the DDS. This may or may not also be affecting the relays. Tonight I'll take the board stack apart and take a look at the parallel port connector and the latches associated with the DDS. The rig is the SDR1000-LP which I have had for a few years now, mostly driving transverters and as a piece of test equipment. It has worked flawlessly all this time. Win XP SP3, PSDR 1.8.3, FA-66. I've reset the database, reloaded PSDR, replaced the parallel cable all with no change. So, before I pull everything apart, are there any suggestions for something I've overlooked? Maybe it is just jealous about the F1500, although it didn't mind when I got the F3000! I've been thinking about an F1500 or F3000 myself, but need to get this working first. I guess I could suggest that you explore the connector also for potential problems as I am. Do you know if any of the SDR-1000 boards are still available? I'm not sure how much SMD repair I'm up to. Thanks for the comments Alf. (Wish I were out in Scottsdale!)

Once in a while, it will come up on 75 meters, and there are signals in the passband and I can demodulate them properly, but I can't move the frequency, even though the background and displayed frequency appear to change. That is, the indicators of frequency are moving, but the signal in the passband is staying in the same spot. On a couple of other occasions, the system seemed to come up with a shortwave station up the passband that i was just able to demodulate by sliding the filter way off to the up side to try to demodulate. Again, the tuning appeared to be doing everything I asked, but the signals in the panadapter didn't move. To me, this sort of feels like a problem with the Local Oscillator, like I'm not actually injecting the right frequency (or any?) into the mixers. When there are no signals in the passband, I've taken another shack receiver and tried to hear the LO, but don't hear anything near the frequency. I haven't had it come up with signals since I thought of that, so I haven't been able to check for LO then. I'm running 1.18.6 on a dedicated dual CPU PC that is isolated from the network and hasn't had any upgrades since it was running successfully last fall. I've tried it with both the parallel port cable that was running successfully all last fall, and the USB to parallel adapter. I've reset the database. I've tried version 2.08 just to see if that behaved any better, it behaved pretty much the same. I don't know at this point if I have a hardware problem, an interface problem, or something gone wonky in the computer. I'm looking for some clues to help me troubleshoot. This unit did have some problems last fall with the latches driving the relays that were cured when I removed a solder flake that had gotten between a couple of traces and had been operating very reliably until I just left it alone for the summer. But the relays seem to be moving appropriately as I change bands at this time, but of course with no signals being apparent, I can't really check that - unless I start measuring at the relays, which might be the next step. But when the relays weren't moving before, I could still tune the system and see the noise and spurs move around as I changed frequency, even when the relays weren't allowing signal through. This looks and feels different, like the LO is out in the weeds someplace and not responding to commands. It doesn't make much sense to me that they command to drive the relays are coming through, but to drive the LO isn't working - I presume if the parallel port is being driven correctly for the one, it should be working for the other. I tried searching the archives, but didn't turn up much. Maybe I'm searching under the wrong keywords. Is there a name for this problem that I should search under? thanks in advance for any pointers.

[Flexradio] SDR 1000 for sale
I bought this excellent late production unit just a few weeks ago to see if a no knob radio was for me. Well this SDR 1000 sold me to the extent that I have a 5000A with the 2nd RX and ATU coming so I'm selling the 1000 to move up! This Flex 1000 has the 8 pin connector and comes with the outboard preferred FA-66 audio card. Included are the parallel and firewire cables as well as the cables for audio in and out. This 1000 also has the optional built in tuner. I have the radio running on a borrowed old Dell laptop with a 1.2 gig processor with less than 700K of memory. I works fine for just the radio but uses about all the computer has so running a logging program or anything else won't go. I would put this on a computer with more horse power if you have one available. (Quad core with lots of memory coming for the 5000 here but a dual core with 2gig memory running XP would be fine for the Flex 1000) If you want to try SDR or just would like an amazing radio with 100watts and a much more modest investment than either the 3000 or 5000 but impressive performance (RX specs fall between the 3000 and 5000) this is your perfect choice. Fairly priced at $795 shipped to continental US only. please e-mail me: _harveywizb...@aol.com_ (mailto:harveywizb...@aol.com) 73, KC5PD ___ 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/

Re: [Flexradio] sdr-1000 problem
First thing, have you tried resetting the database?.. this is important with the 1000.. there is no information from the radio like the newer hardware.. everything is stored in the database. one little hickup and it will show strange affects. I think the clicking you hear is the automatic antenna tuner.(if there is one?) What are the computers..? hopefully a minimum of 2.5 gig Pentium 4. and win XP. Are you sure you have the parallel port settings right.. have you looked through the help sections? that sounds like the problem here.. Has the radio ever worked on either of the computers before?? This was becoming a big problem at the end of the sdr-1000 sales because of computer hardware changes affecting how parallel ports works. Too bad i don't think the flex usb cables are available anymore. there is some rumors that certain usb adapters will work .. but i would have to see it.. because most will not. If you set up powersdr in demo mode with the fa-66 or the default card there should be sound and stuff displayed in the pandadapter.. w9Ray y...@aol.com wrote: The problem Iam having with my sdr-1000 ,happens on both of my computers, while each is connected to the sdr-1000. , Iam using the fa-66 box,fire wire and parallel cable.

Re: [Flexradio] SDR 1000
Hi, If the symptoms are selective, I mean band related, there are only two places where are band dependent parts: 1. BPF board, where selection is made by relays. The probable cause is a burned inductor, but not disregard a capacitor or even a relay contact. 2. RFE board, where selection is made by solid state switches. I think it is a low probability place, because here the filters are after the preamp IC1, and you should burn the preamp first. Recheck the frequency limits where you get the low gain, because it sounds strange to me to burn tho filters at the same time. The filters are arranged this way: 1.- 2.5 Mhz LPF which is selected by K1 & K2 2.- 2-6 Mhz BPF, selected by K3 & K4 3.- 5-12 Mhz BPF, selectyed by K5 & K6 4.- 10-24 Mhz BPF, selected by K7 & K8 5.- 20-40 Mhz BPF, selected by K9 & K10 6.- 35-60 Mhz BPF, selected by K11 & K12 On my SDR-1000 the filter changes happens at: 1.- 0.0090002.50 Mhz 2.- 2.516.00 Mhz 3.- 6.01 12.00 Mhz 4.- 12.01 24.00 Mhz 5.- 24.01 36.00 Mhz 6.- 36.01 65.00 Mhz I downloaded the schematics from Flex site when I bought my radio.

Re: [Flexradio] SDR-1000 ATU Code Improvement?
Bill, On the FLEX-5000 ATU, every relay for selecting inductors and capacitors can be individually set from PowerSDR(TM) over RS-232 and thus bypass the OEM firmware. This allows us to make software instead of firmware improvements on this model. There is no hardware capability to individually control the relays in the SDR-1000 ATU so we do not have the ability to make improvements there. On the SDR-1000 ATU, there is only a single digital line that says "Tune."

Re: [Flexradio] SDR-1000 questions
Barry, The two jumpers select between differential and single ended reference clock inputs to the DDS. The normal setting with the supplied oscillator is to install both jumpers in 1-2 position. Otherwise, if you are using an external reference oscillator, both jumpers should be changed to 2-3. The schematics are not clear in this zone, but the hardware manual v3.8 has a table in page 18 which explains this. Also the external reference kit instructions also gives information about this. I'm sorry, but my PIO board has not any soldered wire, white or otherwise. Since I didn't know any ECO asking for this mod, probably it is a repair. Could you post or send me a picture of the board showing where the wire is attached? 73 de Ignacio, EB4APL -- Barry Matson wrote: I am trying to trace a problem with my SDR 1K and I can't find the answers in the.pdf documentation.

Re: [Flexradio] SDR-1000 and 60 meter band
It is valid only for PowerSDR v1.18.0 or earlier. Later versions of PowerSDR use an XML file instead of a Microsoft Access database to hold the setup information.

The database is only related to PowerSDR and not the radio hardware in this case. If the version of PowerSDR is greater than 1.18.1, then there is no more access database.

Re: [Flexradio] SDR-1000 and 60 meter band
The BandText table in the DB no longer controls the transmit bandwidth parameters as it did in very early versions of PowerSDR.
