Wow! I was having the SAME problem with my Samlex 1223 25A power supply,
which I learned is the same model as the RS.
SDR would freeze up overnight.
THEN the Samlex started making vibration noises on transmit. It finally
died on me on Saturday night.
So I ALSO took out my Astron 35 A lin
Try taking it off VAC and reconfigure to use your internal sound card.

No argument on any point you made, Bob.
I can only say from experience that making multichannel, low-latency

Jim,
You are absolutely correct - it is not FLEX's fault. But, there is no
fault, per se. Sure, the bios and drivers may be proprietary to Apple,
just like any particular PC manufacturer's bios is considered to be

Tnx Brian. I have downloaded and installed the program. I noticed I have
to start Dream before starting PSDR or it will abort (F5K). Under

if that is correct or do I have to setup a VAC? Went to 9.405Mhz to

The data for the decoded audio is in the Main Service Channel (MSC) which is
the far right "led" on the opening GUI. It must be on to hear any audio.

My interpretation of the point is that Apple PC's specifically *aren't*

Mantra: At least in this particular, isolated case it just ain't Flex's

I always run a fused 55 amp hour gel cell across my 13.8 volt supply. It's an

Jack,
The iMacs are not standard PCs due to the way that Apple forces the BIOS
to be set up to try to keep OS X from being run on "industry standard"
hardware. If only Steve Jobs years ago would have just let go of the
Apple proprietary firmware code, we would all be running MACs or at

One night, I left my f3k on all night. I had turned the laptop off.

Then it would work fine again for another few minutes.

That is an issue with the current version that has been corrected in the

It might be a great utility buy make sure you are making the

"fix all" then when we reboot the system doesn't work and we resort to
the "Use last known good configuration"
Go to www.tweakhound.com and look at his tweaking Vista pages. He has
2 pages on what services you can turn off. Just remember to not go
more aggressive than Level 2, it pays to take a system backup
beforehand and read the text about what each one does and see if you
know if you use it.

I don't use Vista but have followed some Flex threads about snipping
services that aren't need, in order to lighten the prrocess(or) load.
Today's "Windows Secrets" newsletter mentioned this freeware program

For satellite work, it is highly recommended that you have a full duplex setup
so you can monitor the downlink when transmitting. Since the FLEX-3000 is a
half duplex radio, you will need another radio to enable full duplex
capabilities - or wait until the V/U module comes out for the FLEX-5000
I was going to suggest exactly the same thing.
Turn off Vista, install XP.
Maybe in 2 or 3 years when the have W7 debugged, then W7?

Looking to use the F3K for sattelite work (why did I not wait for the
upcoming /UHF VHFmodules and the F5K? Call it 'spreading out the cost of
station upgrade over a period of time, rather than all at once' Plus I
REALLY like the F3K for its size).
Any suggestions / recommendations welcome.
