Re: [Flexradio] D-44 Kit Preliminary assembly documentation and support files

Eric, I just finished putting the interface kit together - it was a breeze to assemble and it works great. With the standard D-44 box, anytime I touched my desk lamp near my radio I got a 60 cycle hum in the radio audio. With the interface kit the problem is gone. My only small suggestion on

My opinion : CW and RTTY : 50 watts PSK-31 : 25 watts - should be sufficient most of the time. José F5JD John Denson a écrit : When using the internal 100 watt amplifier, what is the maximum power output that can safely be set for CW, RTTY or PSK-31? John, AI6A

Jim, I agree, this was really a very strange failure in our case. We found out that the circuit did not function with our test program if the "sinc" and "multiply" options were included. When we removed those functions from the control program, both I and Q signal were present. We also noticed

Tony jumpered where he did, I jumpered the 5 volt output (directly from the leg of the 7805) to the pin in the header where it was carried off the PIO board. I believed the traces were too small and I had damaged them when changing over from "pre-RFE" to "post-RFE".(3 board to 4 board st

Looking at the picture a few of the crappy solder joints on my PIO board were located at those pins on the header that Tony jumpered around. I read about the heat problem with the DDS chip in an old forum message and did some probing around when I first had the dropout problem. It indicated that

Tony KB9YIG had a similar dropout last year and prepared this webpage to show how he soldered jumpers around what might have been a poorly soldered plug/socket problem: http://www.n9vv.com/SDR-1000-KB9YIG-GND.html perhaps Wayne's solution is this simple? de Ken Ahti Aintila wrote: I can confirm
