[Flexradio] Tune Power on Flex5000

2008-03-08 Thread Art Gartner
The tune function on my Flex5000 started acting strangely. When I hit tune instead of getting the normal 10 watts I get about 115 watts on the forward power meter. This is confirmed by an external power meter which reads 100 watts. It doesn't matter which antenna I'm using including a dummy

Initial VAC latency not tracking SetupAudioVAC buffer size is fixed in test SVN 2054... Thanks to ke5dto Using SetupAudioVAC drivers other than WDS can still result in latency growth. Al, K0VM Al wrote: At the request of NU6X, I have made a couple of additional measurements of VAC latency

Art See my post on power spikes. I am seeing the same power spike. This causes my amp to trip off on gird current protection. I have not had the problem with the tune function. You might want to check the tune power setting under setup/transmit. George W2GS -Original Message- From:

This is not a spike this is constant. When you click on tune you get 115 watts out (100 on the external meter). It doesn't matter what you have set on the tune block on the transmit tab. Again keying in the USB (LSB) with no audio input yields the same 115/100 watts. Art At 10:12 AM 3/8/2008

JIm, Thanks for the info and explanation. I can see that the fix I tried is NOT a good idea. Does anyone know which thernistor was chosen by Flex? 73 de Dave ...living and learning Visit FAIRTAX.ORG to discover an idea whose time has come.

Art, If you are getting output in USB or LSB into a dummyload, it appears your balanced modulator has failed and will need replacement.. Follow the procedure on the Support page for service.. http://flex-radio.com/Support.aspx?topic=service 73, Dudley WA5QPZ FlexRadio Systems (512)

That when I accidentally dragged PWSDR svn 2054 a tad and noticed that there was a something below the MULTI RX frame. Lifted the title bar and found the Display Options of dual panadaptor and waterfall had been added. I'd read the note in the SVN log and had been looking for the new feature

Dave, The resistor is a PTC (positive temperature coef) resistor, comes from Flex, one of the latest mods on the SDR1000. Maybe Flex can still deliver or can tell you a type number. (Mod was done at Flex as far as I know, to prevent damage to the PTC and he Xtal module) --- must be in
