Eric, The "even" and "odd" referred to the binary data that is being modulated. My understanding is that the bits get evenly divided between the I and Q channels in a QPSK transmission. indx = 123456789ABC bits = 01100010 even = 101100 odd = 010111 Thanks, Jon On Mon, 3 Oct 2005, Eric

Jon, The only thing that looked odd to me in your sanity check was the fact that you were sending the sin(even) and cos(odd) to the L and R channels. I believe you want the same signal in each channel (before the sin/cos). Otherwise the signal is not a true quadrature signal (90 degrees out of p

John, Thanks for pointing this out. The transmit chain of the DSP has changed dramatically between the two versions and there is likely to be a significant change in the microphone calibration as a result. Please take care as you import the old settings. This care should always be taken when fi

I have not heard of an echo problem specifically with the Santa Cruz. Sometimes RFI on the Line Out cable can end up sounding like an echo. How is your microphone hooked up? If you are running it through the enclosure, try running it directly to the soundcard and see if that resolves the echo prob

Mel,   If I understand correctly what you are trying to do, you should be able to do this using the Ext. Ctrl Tab on the Setup Form.  Just configure one pin to always be on for each band on TX, and to always be off on RX.     Eric Wachsmann FlexRadio Systems   -Original Messa
