[Flexradio] For Sale: SDR-1000 "fully-loaded"

Gentlemen, In January I purchased from Flex Radio the SDR-1000 transceiver with built-in auto-tuner plus USB adapter, Shuttle Pro controller, and the Edirol FA-66 6-channel Portable FireWire Audio Interface for a total of about $2200. It's a very interesting radio and I love computers. Howe

Imagine a channel that is 500hz wide, the width of many CW filters. Imagine you are transmitting in the top 50hz and receiving in the bottom 50hz of that 500hz bandwidth. How is this not full duplex? As long as you don't overload the DSP you can do precisely this. That is what brick wall filter

Thanks for your ideas, Bill. The only change I could think of that I made to the system was an upgrade to the latest, "greatest" McAfee Security Center. I'd been suspecting this was a resource hog for other reasons, so this morning I decided to fully remove it (which took some research & effort!)

Hi Jeff What you say is true, but you have chosen the worse case scenario for the troughput. Any system has inherent "latency". Transmission through a xtal filter introduces latency. The time to transmit across a physical distances introduces that as well. Put the signal in a long transmission

Then you need to listen again. The software architecture has been changed from a half duplex model to a full duplex model. A fast relay does do something since the spec for Pactor as I understand it is 20ms for lockup but it may be longer. The SDR-1000 is still a half duplex radio, but the po

A fast relay does nothing to reduce the time required for the received signal decoding - the delay of many ms that occurs before a received signal appears at the sound card audio output. IIRC, PACTOR requires a TOTAL turn-around time of around 30-35 ms. If you compare audio from a SDR-1000 simu

An excellent idea Jim! Let's see, if the ARRL gets their emissions rules through, if you call it one transmitter, then you're breaking the bandwidth rules. Maybe they'll insist on only one QSO at a time. That will be interesting defining. Probably like the group of EMEers who are trying to defi

One of the goals was to see if the SDR-1000 could be made pactor ready under software. It looks like a modification would be necessary to meet that goal. Here are some relays that would fill the bill if someone wanted to mod their SDR for QSK RFK-6396 high speed SPDT RF switching relay with SP
