Re: [Flexradio] Flex-1500 external equipment sequencing issue...
John- Are you referring to a bug in the PSDR software? Is it the official released version (where a phone call is the best path)? Or a software beta version (where the other 'edge' email reflector would be appropriate)? Is this a hardware issue (where a phone call to Flex would be the correct course of action)? I'm just not familiar with the 'issue' of what you speak of. 73, Joe > From: j.mae...@verizon.net > To: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz > Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2010 08:32:02 -0700 > Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Flex-1500 external equipment sequencing issue... > > The silence from FlexRadio is deafening... > > I ordered a 2 meter transverter at the same time I placed the order for the > 1500.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex-1500 external equipment sequencing issue...
Gentlemen, Where in the queue is bug fix D317 and when can we expect a beta test? Also, the fix requirements have been detailed in a previous post, has that made it to the software engineers? I am still holding to my plans of using the Flex-1500 in the ARRL EME Contest on Oct. 2 - 3 and Oct. 30 -31. It would be very disappointing to have to wait another year. 73 John N6VMO - Original Message - From: "John Maetta" To: Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2010 10:24 AM Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Flex-1500 external equipment sequencing issue... > Gentlemen, > > In order to have the folks at FlexRadio to only have to 'fix' this bug once, I have put together a quick document outlining the scope and requirements.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex-1500 external equipment sequencing issue...
Gentlemen, In order to have the folks at FlexRadio to only have to 'fix' this bug once, I have put together a quick document outlining the scope and requirements. I believe it covers what needs to be implemented in PowerSDR and the Flex-1500 to allow reliable sequencing of external equipment, while maintaining functionality for users that don't require the use of sequencers. Please feel free to discuss any changes to the doc below. Flex-1500 Sequencer Control Requirements - FLEXWIRE PTT IN TX INHIBIT ENABLE Scope: Provide a software control option in PowerSDR to inhibit RF transmit until Flexwire pin 4 PTT IN is brought to ground by any external source, regardless of the PTT source (MIC, key or digital mode). Flexwire pin 4 PTT IN, when asserted to ground, should also signal PowerSDR to switch to TX, regardless of the state of FLEXWIRE PTT IN TX INHIBIT ENABLE. Requirements: 1. Provide a software control option in PowerSDR labeled 'FLEXWIRE PTT IN TX INHIBIT ENABLE". Default setting is 'Off', disabled or unchecked. A. If this option is unchecked; Flexwire pin 4 PTT IN functions as normal, signaling PowerSDR and the Flex-1500 to transistion to TX when asserted to ground. B. When this option is checked; it will inhibit TX until Flexwire pin 4 PTT IN of the Flexwire jack is held at ground by an external source, such as a sequencer. When pin 4 in brought to ground by an external source, it signals PowerSDR and the Flex-1500 to transistion to TX. By making this an option, users are not required to have to apply a ground to Flexwire pin 4 in order to transmit. 73 John N6VMO - Original Message - From: David McKenzie To: John Maetta Cc: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2010 6:19 AM Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Flex-1500 external equipment sequencing issue...

Re: [Flexradio] Flex-1500 external equipment sequencing issue...
I would suggest the option of inhibiting TX unless the FlexWire PTT pin is based, along with the normal "Delay PTT" that is already in the software (and not working). This allows for the flexibility required with expensive, complicated sequenced systems. PTT-Out should still go to ground when pushing "PTT" on the mic or through a digital program, but no RF until PTT-IN is biased in this mode.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex-1500 external equipment sequencing issue...
Graham and Tim, Thanks for your fast response to this issue. As Jim mentions below, a 'hard' PTT to the Flexwire PTT IN and then on to key PSDR is the most reliable method.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex-1500 external equipment sequencing issue...
Graham This one is currently as of this moment putting my 1500 purchase on hold, can you clarify which issue is going to be fixed, Is it the delayed PTT timing one - (Not sure that I would risk my PA or LNA to a timed PTT rather than a herd sequenced one!) Or is it the items raised by John re use with external sequencers which are critical for the use to which I wish to put a new 1500. that is we should be able to apply a externally delayed PTT from an External sequencer to the flexwire port PTT in and have that sent to PSDR as the PTT signal.

Gentlemen, My plans were to use the Flex-1500 for digital, CW and SSB EME (moonbounce) and replace my TS-790 with transverters. My current configuration is WSJT, VAC, Serial Port Manager and PowerSDR 2.0.8. This combination seems to work well together and it was time to interface the Flex-1500 and PowerSDR to my EME equipment. But, after several attempts to reliably interface the Flex-1500 with my sequencer to control my mast mounted preamp, driver amp and power amp, I have determined the following: When WSJT transmits, the PowerSDR and the Flex outputs Flexwire PTT out and RF immediately, as verified by a watt meter. The Flexwire PTT is asserted to late to start any sequencer and will cause the RF to destroy the preamp or amplifier relays by 'hot keying'. Also, the Flex-1500 can not be keyed by the last event in the sequence. Applying a PTT from the sequencer to either the MIC jack or the Flexwire PTT In jack will key the Flex-1500, but not key PowerSDR and transmit. So bottom line, we need to have two programmable delays. 1) PowerSDR TX delayed from PTT inputs (CAT, flexwire HW PTT and mic PTT) and... 2) PTT Flexwire output delayed from PTT inputs. Then we can get to a minimum configuration for VHF/UHF use. Come on Flex, help us transverter operators out. Give us that delay between Flexwire PTT and PowerSDR, whether PTT is initiated from MIC, Flexwire PTT In or digital mode. Sequencing external equipment is a basic operating procedure that VHF/microwave enthusiasts employ. Right now, the Flex-1500 doesn't seem to deliver that operability for a radio that was advertised as " The FLEX-1500 comes packed with features that make it ideally positioned to be the ultimate low cost, high performance IF deck for VHF-microwave transverter operation.
