Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 not responding

[Neal Campbell]

Don,

The main components are:
The firewire interface on the computer
The firewire cable
The firewire port on the 3000.

Try replacing the cable with the one that works and if it still doesn't
work, you know the cable is okay.

If you can see the other radio with the same firewire port on the computer,
then you can eliminate that.

That would leave the radio's firewire port to be at blame (or the radio
itself).

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 no headset sound or power after reinstalling Windows 10

[Darryl Wagoner]

I got it working, all I had to do was reinstall windows 8, then install
powerSDR, then upgrade to windows 10.

I hadn't done much, so it wasn't a big problem.

thanks

Darryl,

I suspect you are missing part of the FireWire driver,leave the radio off,   
remove the FlexRadio driver in the Programs and features,  REBOOT the computer, 
rerun the PowerSDR installer, REBOOT ,  be sure the computer is completely 
rebooted ,  then turn the radio on .   Be sure to wait long enough for all 
three drivers to install, 3 or 4 minutes , best to check the FW driver that all 
is ok.Or start PowerSDR. 

Good luck. ,

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000

[Ray, K9DUR]

Bill,

Is the blue light on the power switch of your FLEX-3000 lit?  If it is, then
problem is in firewire connection -- computer cannot see the radio.  

Check your connections.  
Open firewire driver control panel to see if radio is recognized.
Check in DeviceManager to see if you are using the legacy driver.

Go to https://helpdesk.flexradio.com/hc/en-us to enter a support request.

Just checked, don't see it any place on the web page.  Not on the sales 
page, guess this is the end.  Don't see anything between the $699 and 
$2499
Wonder if something is going to fill the gap!  Don't see anything under 
"Press Releases".

Nice run while it lasted!

I’ve been told by several people that I am way off in pricing.  Thanks for your 
observations, and you are, no doubt, correct.

So I am going to list the radio on eBay with a buy it now or best offer.  If 
anyone is interested in making an offer before it gets listed there, please 
email me.

Well, looks like no one is interested.

Price lowered to $1575, same terms.  I’m going to post this on the community 
reflector as well, and if no interest if a few more days, I put it on eBay.

I tested the radio and all works nicely.

Re: [Flexradio] flex 3000

[Jack Haverty]

My Flex-3000 is one of the first release.  When the preamp mod occurred
about 5 years ago, Flex did a free factory upgrade to older units.  If you
contact Flex with your unit's serial number, they can probably tell you
whether or not the mod has been installed.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 for Sale

[Michael Walker]

Thanks Dale

I fully suspect that could be the case.  The video would be over remote
desktop, so that will also be a challenge.  I 'hope' I can dial down the
frame rate for remote operation.

I currently use a TS480 and RemoteRig, but I really want to get the Flex at
the remote site.

I agree.  Video will be the challenge.

I am on a real cleaning spree.  I am also selling my SGC500 and I am going
to replace it with a KPA500.  I could go the KP3/0 route, but I haven't
gotten there yet.  :)

Many thanks for your insite.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 for Sale

[Dale Hankins]

Michael I have owned all the previous flex radios and now own the 6500. Great 
radio but still in the building mode. I ran my flex 5000 and 3000 remote for 
several years and the thought of working off the World Wide Web on a 6000 is 
what really got my attention. Now for the bad news. At this time the 3000 works 
better remotely than the 6000. I have not even worried with remote ing the 6000 
until it will work as presented. I am not saying this to tell you to hold off 
just the opposite now is a great time to get the radio learn how to use it and 
enjoy every new update as they come out. We are a way from web remote but they 
have promised it and the Flex team have never let me down. I would also caution 
you on video graphics card for the 6000. I went with a r7260x latest and 
greatest but there are issues causing crashes that appear to be driver issues 
which cannot be fixed. If you have good video on your board stat with it and if 
going to a high performance card be sure to get at least th
 ree peopl who run it on your type of machine.

Glad to see you move up to the 6300.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 or 5000 Remote operation assistance

[David Movius]

Mathew,

In run Flex 5000 via remote using TeamViewer and Skype for the audio link.
Steve's description is essentially the same setup I use and it works
extremely well.  I had to fiddle with some of the audio anomalies Steve
mentioned.  One set of settings in each Skype account
(Skype>Tools>Options>Audio Settings) was to check the "Auto adjust
Microphone" and "Auto Adjust Speaker..." boxes.  Others may custom set these
levels, but it seemed to smooth things out for me when those boxes were
checked.

I have looked at RemAud (as mentioned by Steve), but the setup is bit over
my head at this time.  With Skype working, I will stick with it for the time
being.

Good luck.  Remote operation with the Flex is lots of fun.

Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 or 5000 Remote operation assistance

Mathew-- using Skype for the audio portion of remote operations is pretty
easy. Think of it this way-- you treat the Flex as if it is another person
(account) to Skype, and PowerSDR as the speaker and microphone instead of
the host computer's speaker and microphone.

a.  As in all remote audio solutions, you will need "virtual audio cables",
software that connects the audio in and out of the Flex to Skype. This link
http://kc.flexradio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50230.aspx
talks about the 3rd party software most of us use, although this software is
now in version 12 I think and the article talks about version 4. The article
is still relevant. Note: there is a "trial" 
version-- don't use this as it will overlay advertising audio on your
transmitted signal! Note 2: you will need this virtual audio cable software
to interface with any of the digital-mode programs as well.

b. Load Skype software onto your host Flex computer and create a separate
skype account for your Flex.  I use my call (WA7DUH-Flex). Set up Skype so
it starts with the computer startup (tools>>Options>>General). Also so Skype
will only answer those that are in it's contact list and automatically
answers when called (tools>>Options>>Privacy). Go ahead and hook Skype on
your host to your computer speaker and microphone temporarily, establish you
normal Skype account in this new account contact list, etc. That is-- make
sure Skype is fully working person to person and automatically answering,
etc. 
before attaching audio to the Flex.

c. With PowerSDR running-- On the Flex host computer's Skype, go to the
audio settings (tools>>Options>>General>>Audio). Change Skype's audio input
from the computer microphone to "Audio Out" or whatever you named the audio
out channel as discussed in the Knowledgebase article. Change Skype's audio
out from the computer speaker to "Audio In" or whatever you named the audio
input channel as discussed in the Knowledgebase article.

d. In PowerSDR VAC audio setup (Setup>>audio>>VAC) make sure PowerSDR is
also attached to the appropriate virtual audio cable channels, and set the
audio out to about -20db and the audio in to about -6db. Also on this audio
setup page, I set "Allow PTT to override/bypass VAC for phone" and "Auto
Enable" must be off.

Call your Flex Skype account from your remote computer(s). You should have
audio remote.  Adjust audio levels in PowerSDR (Setup>>Audio>>VAC) from the
starting levels recommended in d. above to suit your particular
configuration. You can also manipulate the audio a bit within the Skype
remote computer.

IMPORTANT CAVEAT-- using Skype for the remote audio has some funky results.
Skype has very complex algorithms to cancel echo and background noise. It
reacts poorly to normal HF static, trying to cancel it etc. 
This results in audio level pumping and such. I have Skype always attached
to my PowerSDR as a backup/alternate and for my friends to listen, but I
have moved to RemAUD. But I used Skype exclusively for 3 years, and the
setup is much easier. RemAUD requires router forwarding setups, firewall
setups, etc. to get to work, but is designed specifically for remote
communications audio.

Good luck-- I probably missed some important steps so if you get stuck come
back to the list for help.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 and DXEngineering RTR-1A ReceiveAntenna Interface

[Michael Walker]

Hi Bruce

It is never $10.  :)  Part of it is the time and money to source the parts,
build it, mount it in a box, etc.  While I say the same thing from time to
time, it is part of 'buying time'.

Bruce, do you have a QSK solid state design sketched you would like to
share with us to use?  I would like to take advantage of it.Don't get
me wrong I do agree with your $10 idea.

Hunter, the RTR-1 has to be connected to the actual radio to work and the
radio has to be turned on.  They have a failsafe in the unit that looks for
the keying voltage to be present on the PTT line from the radio.  I got
caught by that one as well one day.

When it is playing correctly, the green light goes on and off as you move
the toggle switch.

Save your money and make your own for less than $10 in parts.

Choose the correct relay and this will double as a radio to amplifier 
buffer. If you need "QSK", then go solid state. Easy to do. The choice 
depends on your needs and your station. Lots of options, do not have to go 
with "one size fits all" product

 Good Morning,
 
 I see all of these excellent 5000A radios up for sale.  I sold mine way

 While I am impressed with the 6700 and I know that, in time, the software
 will finally mature as It is truly the radio of the future.  I find that I
 usually use the 3000 as my "go to radio". there are  so many features that
 just work, and work extremely well, features that may be incorporated into
 the 6000 series at some future date.
 
 Not that the 6700 preforms poorly, but there are all those little things
 that need to be checked, tweaked, adjusted, and screwed around every time I
 use it.
 
 Adjusting the spectrum band width, find the correct frequency, mode,
 making sure that the + 20db gain button has been pushed, tweak the receive
 equalizer to reset its setup and adjust the many other features to my
 preference.. and then, begin operating.
 
 Better hold on to your 3000 or 5000A for a while and enjoy the quality and
 ease of operation from these radios for a while.

And I agree with Ron. There are some very hostile people towards Flex on 
eHam, especially in the SDR forum.

I have a 6500 and, like you, am disappointed that many features that

I can give you at least 3 callsigns on eHam that are just waiting to trash
anything Flex even though they don't own one. Better to get reviews on this

Re: [Flexradio] Flex-3000 to Amp Question

[a.groff]

Hanford,
   Yes, you will need an interface on the 30l-1 KEY (ptt) input.. The 
voltage on that line WILL BLOW the driver in the F3000.. Other only 
other interconnect that you need to connect is the RF..
The F3000 does not have ALC.. It does have pretty good control the RF 
out level and you will be okay if you watch you F3K drive.  SET the 
drive level in CW and leave it there for SSB.

Hi to the list

I would like to drive my Collins 30L-1 with my Flex-3000. How would I set it
up and would I need an interface like the Ameritron ARB-704 because of the
keying voltage of the 30L-1 I'd hate to damage my radio.  Thanks in advance.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 for DX'ing and SDR

[Jim Jerzycke]

Your best solution would be to get a PCI or PCIe firewire board with a 
known working chipset (TI, I think), and install it in an unused slot in 
the motherboard.

You are not going to get the throughput with any USB to FW adapter.

I found this from a while ago...

http://www.hamradioscience.com/forum/discussion/22/upgrading-the-pc-inside-the-flex-5000-c/p1

The motherboard is still available, but it's not cheap.   Neal Campbell, K3NC 
may be able to point you in the direction of an alternative.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 for DX'ing and SDR

[Steven Hess]

I love my Flex-3000 but mechanical relay on a CW rig is a terrible idea to
me.
The Flex-1500 does CW well on a tuned computer system.
If you have latency problems you will not like it.
If your computer underpowered or you can't tune your system you'll have
problems.

You are not hearing from all the people who have no CW issues or have given
up on the list due to a high signal noise ratio.
I love my FlexRadio rigs and would not part with them for anything but I am
not a CW op.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 for DX'ing and SDR

That zero lag of the KX3 is great so when I try to use the 1500 I can't send a 
CQ CQ de K5SSR because of the side tone lag...

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 for DX'ing and SDR

[Burt]

The 1500 has a delay (latency) problem which makes it useless for CW. I sold 
mine and now have a KX3





Yesterday I got my 1500 working... But what's up with the CW?? I can't heard 
the other stations when I'm transmitting. Plus my fist is all screwed up... 
Can't send worth a shit. WTF!
Can't find the side tone vol. 
back to the K3 and KX3 real CW machines that just work.

Looks like the 1500 will wind up on eBay... I still give it some more time.. It 
maybe that I just don't know how to use it correctly. 

It seems to me it needs to be at least as good in CW as the K line.

I'm glad I already have a KX3.
I tried to make some QSO yesterday with the 1500 but I could not.

Nope, PSDR doesn't support that kind of set up as far as I am aware ...
but I could be wrong of course!

I will try my Winkeryer today... That may fix some of the problems.
Also I am using a new Dell XPS 12 with a i5 core with only 4 gigs of memory but 
it has a 128 SSD hard drive.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 for DX'ing and SDR

[Mickey Baker]

Full break-in, automatic "zero beat" to match RX signal, almost zero lag
time from key down to side tone, CW decoder integral, to name a few things
that makes the KX3 a better CW rig.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 for DX'ing and SDR

[George Shapow]

Hi all,

Is there a USB to Firewire adapter that anyone has used successfully with a 
Flex 5000?  I'm trying to replace the computer in my 5000C with a mint ITX 
board.  The board will fit and everything else seems OK except that it has no 
firewire available.

Thanks

CW is my mode of choice and I am very happy with my Flex-3000. However, 
to be fair, I don't use the internal CWX keyer. Instead I use an 
external Winkeyer USB. There are a couple of advantages to this:


1) Keying speed is the same whether you are using Macros or Paddles.
2) You are not dependent on Windows process switching to generate clean 
properly timed CW.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 for DX'ing and SDR

[Philip Townsend Lontz]

Yesterday I got my 1500 working... But what's up with the CW?? I can't heard 
the other stations when I'm transmitting. Plus my fist is all screwed up... 
Can't send worth a shit. WTF!
Can't find the side tone vol. 
back to the K3 and KX3 real CW machines that just work.

Looks like the 1500 will wind up on eBay... I still give it some more time.. It 
maybe that I just don't know how to use it correctly. 

It seems to me it needs to be at least as good in CW as the K line.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 for DX'ing and SDR

[Sheldon Hartling]

Hi Craig

I have a Flex-5000, Flex-3000 and KPA500/KAT500 and recently added a KX3.

I have to agree with Matthew (KJ4TN) that both the F3K and KX3 are fine
radios and in "real world" situations its hard to see any receive difference
despite the KX3's better lab performance.

As for softwareŠ I run PowerSDR on Windows7  bootcamp on my iMac for both
the F3K and the KX3.  For the KX3, I use PowerSDR version 2.5.3 (the last
version to support the Flex-1000) along with the sdr1kusb.dll library from
Christos Nickolaou (SV1EIA) to provide bi-directional control.  It's hard to
tell which radio you're using from the PowerSDR screen.  The panadaptor
display and receive controls look and work the same.  Connecting the KX3 I/Q
analog output to the built-in iMac stereo input I get 96Khz on the display.
I think with a decent USB external sound card I should be able to get
192Khz.  

With the KX3, PowerSDR is used only for receive.  You still use the KX3
directly for transmit.  The KX3 VFO and band control buttons work directly
with PowerSDR and any PowerSDR also controls the KX3 directly.  There are
two connections between the KX3 and the PC/iMAC: a USB or serial plug
connected to the KX3 ACC1 for CAT control, and an audio cable between the
KX3 RX I/O jack and the PC stereo input.

The KX3 has become my new portable rig and I plan on selling the Flex-3000.
I love the Flex-5000 and will keep it as my main radio.

As others have said, your decision depends on what you want to do with it:
 -  If you need 100 watts the F3K is the clear choice;
 -  If you want a remarkably small self contained QRP radio (10 to 12 watt),
consider the KX3.
 -  remember the F3K requires a FireWire connection and the MacBook Air
doesn't have one.  There is a Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor but I haven't
tried it with Boot Camp my MacBook Air.  Not sure if that's an option.

Using the KX3 with my KPA500/KAT500 amplifier I get about 200 watts.
Eventually I'll probably spring for a KXPA100 for the car.
 
73 and good luck with your decision,
Sheldon VE1GPY

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 for DX'ing and SDR

[hmattc...@juno.com]

Craig,?

It all depends what you want to do with  the rigs.  Yes I have
recently been comparing both rigs side by side. As far as in
the "real world" comparisons, pulling in weak stations in a
crowded band situation, both are equal. Do you want to use a
computer, or do you want knobs and buttons?  Do you want
portability? Do you want 10 watts or 100?  There are so many
variables in one's preference.

The IMD3 receive rating if better on the KX3 according to Bob Sheerwood, BUT I 
con see no audible difference in my ham shack.
I believe what is measured in a lab does not always show any
improvement in the "real world".  The notch filtering are the
same, however, the NB was a little bit better on the KX3.  To
me they are pretty much the same on receive. Both radios have
equal quality transmit audio.  I tested the KX3 with their
optional 2.9 roofing filter, which improved the IMD3 receive.
Even with that the Flex-3000 was equal.  

I would say it all depends on how you plan to use the radio.
I was only comparing the two on SSB only.  I decided to stay
with the Flex due to the 100 watt output and the panadapter.  I
did not care about any portability or qrp.

Hope that helps.

Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 for DX'ing and SDR
I have had a Flex-3000 for 5+ years, and worked about 190 countries using
just the F3K and a dipole, on CW, SSB, RTTY, PSK 160-10M.  So it seems to
work just fine for DXing.

To make a choice, I think you really need to consider the whole picture,
not just Flex-3000 versus Elecraft KX3.  As the marketeers keep reminding
us, it's a Software Defined Radio, and the Software is a primary component.
 So, you really want to compare the two choices including the software
comparisons.  The hardware of both radios is very good, so differences
important to you might be in the available software, and its capabilities
in the ways that you operate.   A fair comparison might be the Flex-3000
with PowerSDR/addons versus the KX3/KPA100 with whatever other software
(e.g., HDSDR) you're planning to use with it.

There are other factors that you may or may not care about.  E.G., the KX3
can be used QRP without a computer, which might be important if you want to
travel with it.  Personally, I'd really miss the Panadapter, so whatever
software I'd want with the KX3 would have to provide something similar.

I would urge you, if you have not yet, to actually see and demo a flex rcvr at

why.

This sounds great! My plan is to use my mid-2011 Mac-Mini and bootcamp Windows7 
w/8GB ram and dual screens as the GUI client on my Flex-6700. I hope I have as

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 on Mac Mini

[Peter Bourget]

I am running a Flex 3000 on the newest Mac Mini, 2.7GHz Quad core processor and 
8GB ram. DPC's are low and it works great. I run the Flex, DDUTIL, Mini Deluxe, 
DM780, HRD Logbook, fldgi and JT65-HF with no problems. Since there aren't any 
legacy serial ports it is real easy to setup with VSPMgr.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000

[Steve Sterling]

One significant item you left off the items you need is a compatible 
personal computer with a compatible firewire interface. The list archive 
is full of messages from unhappy people missing the point that an old 
junker loaded with viruses and old background apps sucking all the 
meager computer resources and leaving nothing left for PowerSDR.


PowerSDR, the application that makes the Flex 1500/3000/5000 work, MUST 
be able to operate in real-time without interruption. It can't stop and 
stutter as you computer tries to service other junk also running on the 
computer. Programs you might not even know are there. A really fast 
computer isn't necessary, a really CLEAN computer without poorly written 
junk programs or viruses is a must. Also, there are certain Firewire 
chipsets that work well, and others that don't.


Operating a Flex 3K mobile sounds real unsafe. I'm sure others have done 
it, but a computer screen and mouse might be tough to operate driving 
down the road. But then, I wouldn't try to put a Icom 7800 on my dash 
either.


Operating remote and in digital modes (RTTY, PSK31, etc) are where a 
Flex shines. No RigRunners, soundcards or external cables required-- it 
is all done in your computer with "virtual" audio cables and "virtual" 
serial cables/ports (for frequency control, PTT, etc).


Yes-- you will need several attachments. Remember, with the Flex you are 
getting a rig with better specs than a $12,000+ Icom 7800. I appreciate 
that Flex leaves the choice of station speaker, microphone, power 
supply, etc. to me, instead of including some piece of junk and 
increasing the base price. This way, I am not paying for some mobile mic 
that sits in the drawer, and listening to a junky speaker built into the 
radio box.


This same philosophy is carried through on software accessories. Some on 
this list have complained that the Flex doesn't have logging, digital 
mode and remote software "built-in". What the Flex has are standard 
software interfaces, so that the operator can interface with the 
external apps of their choice.  You might like Ham Radio Deluxe, I might 
like DX-Labs. We aren't forced into a particular solution. We have choice!


I hope this helps.  Steve WA7DUH

No, it is not. The 3000 is NOT a QRP rig at QRP levels. Just the idle

Raise the output to 10W and the current is 10A at 13.8V.

Re: [Flexradio] FLEX-3000 sticks on transmits

[Rich - W3ZJ]

I originally tried using an MH-31 microphone but have now switched to a 
Heil Proset 6 boom headset. The MH-31 had been sitting around collecting 
dust for quite some time and I found that the PTT switch had become 
erratic. I managed to cure that by taking the microphone apart and 
cleaning the switch with an air blaster and a very small small drop of 
alcohol. Even though I got the switch fixed I was getting reports of 
muffled sounding audio. I managed to improve that some using the 10 band 
equalizer but eventually gave up on it and switched to the Proset 6. Now 
I and every one who listens to me is happy!

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 Connection Problem

[Rich - W3ZJ]

Jerry,
A couple of weeks ago I started having very similar problems with my 
Flex-3000 to what you describe here. Like you I immediately suspected 
infant mortality with my fairly new Firewire card and I replaced it to 
no avail. I then turned in a trouble ticked to Flex and Dudley pointed 
out that there is a status light  inside the the case between the 
Firewire connector and the PTT RCA jack. It's a bit difficult to see but 
if you look through the crack around the Firewire connector you can see 
it. In my case it was lit, supposedly indicating that the radio is 
communicating with the computer. However, apparently that doesn't tell 
the whole story. I decided to take a shot in the dark and replace the 
Firewire cable, I had been using the one that came with the F3K. I 
bought a good quality cable, 6 Ft. double shielded with gold plated pins 
by Gigaware. Bingo, that was it. Now my Flex-3000 is operating normally 
again. Of course, I don't know if you have the same problem but it's 
sure worth a try!

Jerry, this is a long shot, but it sounds like it could be the Firewire
driver issue that was discussed just yesterday here on the reflector. (of
course, it could be something else too, but). Maybe the Flex doesn't
see the Firewire port on one of the machines. Verify that the Firewire
driver is not the generic Windows driver but rather the hardware-specific
driver from the Firewire card's manufacturer. Other than that, I
dunno.?!

Jerry,
I had very similar problem installing my 1500.

What I did to get it to work was go to
c:\Users\username\Appdata\Roaming\FlexRadio Systems and
delete the entire folder "FkexRadio Systems", then uninstalled 2.3.5 again 
via

windows 7 uninstall.
Where in above the username is your username or what the name of your 
computer is.


Then follow the install procedures on the quick start.
Hope this helps.

Ted, I found something similar when I built a computer to use with a Flex
1500. My windows installation came with generic drivers for USB 2.0 and
3.0, and I used them without thinking. They worked fine with all my other
hardware, but the 1500's performance was erratic. After a tip from my
computer scientist son I wised up and installed the specific OEM drivers
that came with the motherboard, and made sure that I was using a USB 2.0
only port. Others who are having mysterious glitches may check for this or
related driver problems by looking in device manager. Your USB or Firewire
driver should be one that is specifically written for your hardware, not a
generic driver.

Re: [Flexradio] FLEX-3000 Firewire Interface

[Dave Beumer WØDHB]

Most laptops have provision to plug in additional interface cards such as
firewire and these cards are readily available.

Looking at the specs for the envy 17, It doesn't appear that it does support
additional interface cards.

If this is true then you would have to get another computer.

The problem is with your PC.  It is experiencing a long duration DPC 
latency event that is in excess of 1500 us and the Firewire buffer is 
being over-run.  You can use DPCLAT 
(http://www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml) or LatencyMon 
(http://www.resplendence.com/latencymon) if you are running Vista or Win7.


You can try doing the following.

1.) Open up the Firewire control panel icon on your desktop and change 
the operation mode to SafeMode 3


2.) Update all your PC's hardware drivers and BIOS to the latest 
versions.  Do not use hardware drivers gotten from Microsoft Update.


3.) If the PC is a laptop, disable the wireless, Bluetooth and LAN 
adapters.  These device are probably the ones responsible for the long 
duration DPC hit.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex-3000 motorboating

[Ed Wilson]

Tim,

What is the downside of selecting one of the three "Safe Modes" as opposed to 
"Normal" (assuming that my DPCs are low enough)?

The problem is with your PC.  It is experiencing a long duration DPC latency 
event that is in excess of 1500 us and the Firewire buffer is being over-run.   
You can use DPCLAT (http://www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml) or 
LatencyMon (http://www.resplendence.com/latencymon) if you are running Vista or 
Win7.

You can try doing the following.

1.) Open up the Firewire control panel icon on your desktop and change the 
operation mode to SafeMode 3

2.) Update all your PC's hardware drivers and BIOS to the latest versions.  Do 
not use hardware drivers gotten from Microsoft Update.

3.) If the PC is a laptop, disable the wireless, Bluetooth and LAN adapters.  
These device are probably the ones responsible for the long duration DPC hit.

You connect the send (TX OUT) line but no connection to ALC is necessary.
The only time ALC is needed is if the exciter (transmitter) is generating
too much output power and overdriving the amplifier. Since the Flex radios
have very consistent calibrated power output, it is quite easy to set the
output power of the exciter (flex 3000) to provide proper drive to the
amplifier without needing to resort to ALC to prevent overdrive. To get
best linearity set the Flex 3000 drive level to drive the amp to about 80%
of full output on peaks (about 1dB down from full power). 1dB will not be
noticed at the receiver but your signal will be a lot cleaner.

Someone else commented on the lack of ALC input in the Flex radios. The
point is, ALC is only needed if the amplifier is being overdriven. If you
adjust drive levels properly to prevent overdriving the amp, you never need
ALC. I have never had any problem using either the Flex 3000 or Flex 5000
with amplifiers without ALC.

Now it is possible that you have heard that the Flex radios are not
compatible with amplifiers. That rumor has been floating around for quite
some time. It came about as a result of an output overshoot bug in PowerSDR
a couple years back. That was fixed and there have not been problems since.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 Question from a Newbie

[Gary Warner]

Marty,

I assume that the documentation is similar between the ALS 600 which you 
have, and the ALS 1300, which I have.   My documentation says that for 
any input power of 100 watts or less, that no ALC control is required.

It does seem that the fluctuations in the output power meter readings are an 
artefact of the sampling/averaging process that drives the meter display. I 
will have a play with the multimeter options to see if there is a setting which

Re: [Flexradio] FLEX-3000 FLUCTUATING CW OUTPUT POWER

[Jim Jannuzzo]

So, you could go to Setup | Display tab, and change the Multimeter options, 
correct?  Which option would most effectively show the almost real time power-  
decrease Multimeter Average Time, or increase one of the related Refresh rates, 
or decrease one of hte Peak Hold times? Jim KJ2P > Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2012

Ray hit the nail on the head.  It does have to do with the sampling 
cycle frequency and the RF at that point in time.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 Questions

[TM]

Thanks again to all for the help!

 

Got the 3000 working this evening with WSPRnet just fine.  The WSJT software
is controlling the rig and decoding signals. Now to chase down the rotten
RFI problem when I transmit!  Always a challenge - that is why I have
enjoyed ham radio for so long.  See you on the bands.

Just one more question at the moment - do you know a safe place to download
VAC 4.09?  I note the wiki cautions against using the later v4.10, and the
only sites I found that pass a McAfee Site Advisor test only will download
4.10.  A couple claim to have the earlier version but then download 4.10.
Have to admit some of the sites I found look pretty shady.

 

It is perfectly OK to purchase VAC. Everybody does. Once you have purchased
it you will have the option of downloading the previous version, 4.09, in
addition to version 4.10.

4.09 works and always works. 4.10 works sometimes and there is a test
version that seems to solve the problems but it is not clear that the fixes
in the test version have been rolled into the release version. (If they had
I would expect it to be called 4.11, not 4.10.)

And the problem is dropouts. Since you are not listening to it, you
wouldn't know it. It will manifest itself as occasional errors in digital
modes that do not use FEC, e.g. RTTY, PSK31, CW, etc.

So, if you want to be 100% sure that everything is working properly,
download and use 4.09. I know, it is blasphemy not to use the latest and
greatest but that is just life.

Here is the link to the FlexRadioWiki:

Start at the beginning with the overview which explains why you need  

virtual

serial ports and VAC. Then do the VSP and VAC setup. Once you have done
those, the rest of the programs a pieces of cake. I prefer fldigi myself.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 Questions

[Dave Beumer WØDHB]

Eric

4.10 will appear to work for a while and then will start having excessive
drop outs, that’s why 4.09 is recommended until 4.10 issues are resolved.
