Hi Ed,
Almost all "nearly" QSK CW T/R transition pops and clicks gone now
with this latest version. However, every once in a while, as I am
sending CW around 25 wpm, the radio will stop keying. When this
happens, I have to click on the STOP button to stop, then restart
PowerSDR, at which point

I looked through the Manual, but don't seem to see any way to set a

I guess I shouldn't have tried to upgrade to SP3.
The upgrade failed due to 'ACCESS DENIED' at some point.
I had done a Restore Point of course.
But now I have no receive, on any band of my F5Ka.
I can transmit, full power.
But no received signals.
I redownloaded the Sound Driver and Firmware
Hello Dave,
Each of the three delays are individually configurable/adjustable via
the FLEX-5000 Antenna Selection panel, accessible via the "Antenna" menu
selection at the top of PowerSDR.
Also note that if you select the "Expert" mode on this panel, you can

There have been a couple of problem reports with the latest QSK mods.
I considered reverting to the previous method, but decided to stay
with then new way for two reasons:
I can't figure how the problems reported relate to the QSK changes.
And even if they do the way forward is with the new co
Thanks, Ed. BTW, what you describe as QSK is usually referred to as
"semi break in", or "Semi QSK" by CW ops. There is a world of difference.
For the guys and gals out there who may not understand the
distinction, CW ops refer to QSK as the ability to actually hear
activity on the band between

That's not right. The entire audio subsystem inside the SDR software is

At first, I thought it was contacts but then after cleaning, it happened
a couple more times. Does not do this with CWX keyboard.
PowerSDR tho has never "stopped"... just fails to key rig.

Jerry has brought up an important point. We CW ops believe true QSK
means hearing between dots at high speed. I thought so myself until I
began looking closely at the performance of box-based rigs.
There is an easy calculation that shows why true QSK is difficult:
R/T + T/R - ES = Band Sound

Good that you could measure the numbers there, Ed.
I don't know the numbers for any of my rigs, but I just did a quickie
listening test and the K3 definitely gives me audible band noise

CW Skimmer was perking along just fine, but no longer. Now the
signals are not where they should be on the waterfall. The waterfall

Hi Dave,
I just double checked Skimmer with the latest build in the w2rf
branch and everything seems to be functioning normally. Please send
any additional details.

Hey Frank,
Great news.
One way to sell the new architecture is a fancy driver to go with a nice
flexible Windows GUI... Who ever worries about the innards of a driver

Peace and happiness will descend on the Flex realm!

Hi,
I applaud you guys putting numbers to the issues. In my working life
our engineering department's slogan was: "The numbers will set you
free." I'm sure Dilbert agrees!
very best regards

My signal/one CX7A had very good QSK.
I found the noise while transmitting
to be irritating, much like voice VOX
with a short delay time so that it
goes to receive in between syllables.
It's nice to have a little quiet while
you are sending to think about what you
are communicating.

I agree with your assessment of QSK, it's great for the contester or DXer
managing a run, but for a little pistol search and pouncer like me semi

I set my sdr1k to the fastest buffers, and listen to my Icom 746
