How do I get Power SDR to transmit on MARS frequencies, 4032 KHZ USB,
for example?

Chas,
It is not only PowerSDR, but also firmware in the Flex-5000 that limits
transmit frequencies. It can be done, but you will need to contact
FlexRadio support to resolve this.

I also tried to get the Eterlogic virtual com port to work with HRD and MixW
- it hung trying to connect with HRD and a gave a connection error with
MixW.

Hello Flexers,
I had a couple of customers who wanted to know if the planned future VHF/UHF
internal transverter requires the new HFRIO ASSY 34 board. The answer is NO
unless you want to operate full duplex on satellites. The ASSY 27 board
will work fine for normal half duplex operation.
I too have a similar issue as Mike. Mine is a 1070khz 25Kw station 3 miles
away, images of it showing up all over the dial on my brand new 5000A using
PwrSDR 1.12 (the version it shipped with). Therefore I too am looking for a
RX1/2/loop solution. If there¹s any others with the similar issues,

Is there any chance you have saved the original recordings as WAVEs,
including the source files? If so, can you post them as 48kHz
flac-compressed?
The mp3 encoding and then re-expansion to 44.1kHz rather than 48 introduce
an array of spectral distortions all on their own.
73 and thanks
I was tuning the low end of 75 the other night and came to the conclusion we
replaced a empty CW band with an empty SSB band. I think any activity is
warranted.

Hi Frank,
Thanks for the reply! I can probably post any sort of format, but you
may have to help me out a bit - I don't know what flac-compression is.
The original Flex WAV files (recorded at 96 ksps) are on the order of 10
MB each. To get them down to a reasonable size and to record two
Hi Jeff,
I've heard another flex 5000 user sound like that. It has almost a digital
processed type sound. A group of Flexers in my area use W2IHY Boxes for better
sound, especially with the PR40 although personally I don't feel that hardware
should be required to make a software radio sound
I am using the SDR1000 remotely. Made both cw and voice qsos. The delay is less
than 1 second and the audio sounds slightly distorted with an occasional drop
out.
Pc anywhere and skype. Using VAC to handle the connections.

Are you talking about the distortion that's inherent in the 5000 ?
I've heard that it's a problem with the DAC in the soundcard.
I don't believe the 5000 will be an audio aficionados radio in it's
present state.
The 1000 doesn't seem to have this problem (at least not with the
firebox or fa66)

Here in the NE my experience has been that trying to organize a Sat
evening SSB sked in anywhere but the extra portion of the 75m phone band
is extremely difficult. I love the 'extra' space we now have down at
3600 - plenty of room there. Of course I have to work on a few of my

I completely disagree. I have both radios, and the TX from both sounds
superb using the Behringer UB-802 as a mic preamp only (no EQ) into the
Line In on the 5K, and the Heil PR-40, with the EQ handled by PowerSDR.
A few seconds listening to John, W5GI on his FLEX-5000 might convince you...
I've run into an issue where PowerSDR hangs up when I open another window on my
PC. For example, if I open Yahoo mail and read an e-mail, the radio goes silent
and I have to stop PowerSDR and start it to operate. As soon as I do anything
with a mail message again, it does the same thing. This
Yep, don't check you mail, you should be playing radio :-)
If your Firewire driver is not in Safe Mode 1, change it to SM1.

Jimmy,
I've used both the Delta-44 and the FA-66 with the 1000. As for the 5K,
I can only judge by the ones I've heard on the air and my own, and
whether I use a PR-40 or an HC5 cartridge, it sounds very good, with no
trace of audible distortion. I listened to Jeff's recording and I agree
Jeff, a couple questions.
What version of the code are you running? Have you tried different versions
to see if it affects the sound?
If you back off the mike gain does it still sound grainy?
Are you feeding the 5000 output into a dummy load for your recording?
Have you tried it on a different

Thanks to everyone for their replies and suggestions.
To answer some of the questions I've received...
1. I've run IMD tests on both the 1K and the 5K and at various powers
(3 dB steps).
2. The problem seems to be independent of code version.
3. All tests are made into a dummy load.
4.
One note when setting up VAC as your default Windows sound card, disable ALL
windows sounds or you will be QRMing the world with dings, beeps and burps that
Windoze makes if you are transmitting when Windoze wants to make its own sounds
at the same time.

Regardless, there's about 6dB of compression on the distorted versions, in

Jeff,
FWIW, I was never able to make the balanced input work with my PR-40. I
always ended up with extra grunge in the audio. When I use the standard
microphone input on the front panel it worked much better, but the

To answer some recent questions...
Frank, I agree, I'm sure the distortion is not in the ADC/DAC components
(nor software, nor input stages) either, because I don't hear it at the
5K PA's *driver stage* output, which is well after the output DAC (ref:
1st half of 6 July recording). The

I agree, it's peculiar. But again - if it's a leveler issue (i.e.
software) I'd expect to hear it at the PA driver, too. But I don't (but
perhaps others do? Ref: 1st half of 6 July test). By the way, I just
checked, and the Leveler has been OFF (box not checked) for all of my
