Jim et.al. Here Here. Why in the heck not! I have posted several times an SDR dedicated board/link between the radio and the computer, others have already posted the connections to the DB 15. We can take a connector to the db 15 and do whatever we want! Filter, preamp, isolation FO or otherwise. T

Dear Flex I/Q recording enthusiasts, I had a report that the recordings that I made last weekend (during the contest) were at a lower level than others that have been made. How does one control the level of the recording? is there a Console setting that I might have missed? a sound card settin

Yes, the IC-7800 introduced toslink to the ham hobby and it seems to work wonders on digi modes. One hopes that similar optical (read: NO RFI EVER) links will see their way into the hobby over time. Maybe some vendors will offer toslink adapters for USB and audio lines? de Ken Jim Lux wrote:

Hi Bob, Yes, I have been fighting the BAD_POOL_HEADER problem since I got back from vacation. It seems to be a timing problem because when I have windbg running I can not get it to crash (since it slows down the system). It passes verifier and prefast testing also. I have tried debugging it wit

Ken, Based on your response, I checked out my USB devices. They are the SDR USB to parallel adapter, the Griffin PowerMate and a mouse. I subsequently removed first the PowerMate and then the mouse (!), while PowerSDR was running, but to no avail, so I'm still open to ideas. Thanks anyway, Joe -

Phil, I loaded build 72 over the long weekend. It worked fine with MixW but I got a BSOD (BAD_POOL_HEADER) more than 50% of the time when I tried to start DXLab Commander (which was not responding when I didn't get a BSOD). Running Beta 1.3.5 on a Dell Dimension 8400 and XP Pro. Bob K5KDN -

Joe I experienced something similar when I had USB speakers and a USB WiFi link at home. Unplugging both devices eliminated the clicking. I took it to be some sort of polling on the USB ports somewhere within my poorly shielded PC. de Ken N9VV Joe - AB1DO wrote: Hi All, On SSB *receive*,

Hi All,   On SSB receive, I am experiencing soft clicking sounds when both the NR and ANF are on. I have played with many combinations of DSP settings and audio sample sizes, but nothing seems to help, nor does cycling power on/standby. CPU usage is around 10%. Does anyone have any ideas?

Some thoughts:   The voltage drop associated with the 1:4 mux could easily be offset by using a 1:4 W2DU current balun.  1:16 would be another option, but probably not necessary.   The balun would work well on a board with a "balanced Tayloe" mixer as per the Tayloe article.   For VH
