Gerd, Actually, the selectivity is very effective, more like a brick wall even at 50hz. Have you completed all of the calibration routines?. All the I/O cable plugs in secure? Try setting the DSP Buffer to 4096. Could be something not right in the setup on the D44.Check the Flex website

[Flexradio] More Strange Frequency Drift Problem

2006-12-31 Thread Brian Kassel
Folks: I have been told that with the newer SDR's (mine is only a few weeks old), no turn on drift should be experienced with the thermistor modification. However I see drift of probably 100 HZ or so immediately after turn on, for about 10 minutes or so. I have the feeling that the

Re: [Flexradio] More Strange Frequency Drift Problem

2006-12-31 Thread Tim Ellison
It takes a while for the XO to stabilize once the SDR-1000 is turned on, so what you are seeing is normal behavior. Mine does not have the therminstor and it takes about 30 minutes to stabilize. Taking 10 minutes to stabilize is not that bad since it is three times faster than mine. Remember it

2006-12-31 Thread Ross Stenberg
According to Flex-Radio The early versions of the SDR-1000T took as long as 15 minutes to become frequency stable. The addition of the thermistor results in a dramatic improvement; within 3 minutes the radio is as stable as most radios with high stability oscillators. Seems as if there could be

Brian, The newer SDRs have a 3 minute stabilization period. The older units took 15 min to stabilize. The radio should be very stable after 3 minutes provided your power supply voltage is stable. I leave my SDR on 7/24 and experience about 5-10 Hz drift a day. I usually do an auto calibrate once
