Re: [Flexradio] DM780 and PowerDSR question with FLEX-5000A

2009-02-02 Thread Jan Egholm
Hi Jay, I have seen same problem, and this happens if I have used wrong soundcard (Flex Radio 5000 SPDIF) on the TX or input on DM780 or other digital Software. In my case is DM 780 setup for: Input device is Virtual Cable 2 and Source is Line, Output Device is Virtual Cable 1 and Device Wave.

Mismatch doesn't affect shielding. If you transition from your balanced openwire line to the pair of coaxes, there's no reason why there should be any currents on the outside of the coax shield. If there were, you could always choke it with the usual appropriate ferrite or powdered metal cores.

One solution to this may be to make sure that the built in soundcard is selected as the default device (rather than the FLEX-5000 audio or VAC). Eric On Sat, Jan 31, 2009 at 10:35 AM, Mark Mumaw n...@esedona.net wrote: I recently built an Atom 330 Machine for the 5000A and ran into a

The bottom line is that using the same mic, there is no audio quality or character differences between using balanced vs. unbalanced configuration assuming there are no other factors affecting the audio quality, such as a ground loop or RFI. -Tim -Original Message- From:

Assuming a low impedance mic and input and equal shielding, balanced will always pick up less interference (common mode cancels out). We frequently use 75 and 100 foot mike cable runs when recording performers without an issue. 50 years ago (I was K3DNO then) most all ham equipment expected a

Have been following this line for a while, going back to the original question, about audio quality being better using a balanced mic or a std 2 wire mic. Did anybody come up with a conclusion? I always found audio quality about the same ,but the balanced always seemed to handle hum and rf

I have two 5000As and they both went deaf when it started snowing. TenTec Orion and Icom Pro performed normally. I assume it must have been the static from snow. Is this a weak point with the RX? What can I do to prevent it happening again and again? This is a third time SDR5000A went deaf.
