Dudley, When operating digital modes I set the AGC-T differently than I do for Phone or CW, i.e. "ear" modes. With modes where I am using my ears I set AGC-T to produce about a 10dB reduction in the noise. That causes even a relatively weak signal to pop out of the noise. When doing that I usually end up with AGC-T set in the 70-80 range. When running digital modes I do not want the gain of the receiver reduced for noise given that sometimes the signal I want is below the apparent noise floor. In that case I set AGC-T too just start to reduce the noise level and then increase it just a skosh to where the AGC "knee" is right at the noise floor. In that case I find that my AGC-T value tends to run 90-100, depending on the noise level on the band. Since this setting is fatiguing to the ear, I then mute the speaker output and do everything visually using the panafall display. -- 73 de Brian, WB6RQN/J79BPL ___ 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.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/

Re: [Flexradio] OK now PSK31 weirdness
Drax, Best not to get into the calibration menus unless you know what you are doing and really need to. Check your audio and AGC-T gain levels, they both have an effect on the audio level going to VAC. You usually do not need to run the AGC-T gain past 70 or 80 . 73, Dudley WA5QPZ Drax Felton wrote: Where is the calibration?

Re: [Flexradio] OK now PSK31 weirdness
I did this procedure. The audio is 33% to 46% at -6 RX Gain. I can still see some signals at -40 though. -Original Message- Can you do a quick test. In the Setup form, do a database reset to make a copy of what you have and clear out the DB. The fire up PowerSDR and change only the minimum settings for the audio (do 96 KHz @ 1024 buffers - make sure the Firewire is set the same), set VAC up just like the screen shot and set CAT if you need it. Then see if the problem exists. -40 dB on the RX audio should produce NOTHING that would show up as signal in DM-780. ___ 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.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/

Re: [Flexradio] OK now PSK31 weirdness
Something is wrong when -40 produces enough audio for overload. Could you give us a screenshot of PowerSDR? In your PSDR setup, you don't need to check enable VAC AND enable VAC for digital modes. The first checkbox leaves VAC on all the time while the second checkbox turns it on only when you do DIGI-L or DIGI-U. 73 Neal Campbell Abroham Neal Software www.abrohamnealsoftware.com (540) 645 5394 NEW PHONE NUMBER Amateur Radio: K3NC Blog: http://www.abrohamnealsoftware.com/blog/ DXBase bug reports: email to ca...@dxbase.fogbugz.com Abroham Neal forums: http:/www.abrohamnealsoftware.com/community/ On Sat, Mar 27, 2010 at 8:35 PM, Drax Felton wrote: > Yup, Lexington, NC is my QTH.
