IMHO, the 2 x F3K is much less appealing for two key reasons: 1) No separate RX antenna inputs 2) No diversity receiving If we are talking about two individual radios, that due to software limitations need two computers, why not run two virtual machines on a modern quad-core i7 Intel machine

2009-12-08 Thread Rudy Bakalov
Ray, Unless I am missing something, the fact that both receivers are active at all times is irrelevant to antenna switching.  The software already maintains a table that links each receiver to its input antenna; it simply needs to maintain a second table that defines which port (and amp key)

Speaking to Flex the other day it was mentioned that there is a minor modification to the HRFIO board (#34) that involves adding some diodes, I believe (Revision C). I believe that the diodes protect the inputs to the board. -- From: Ken

I think I found the answer in the CAT dictionary document.  There are CAT commands that switch the TX antenna (ZZOC) and amp relay (ZZOF). Rudy N2WQ --- On Tue, 12/8/09, Rudy Bakalov r_baka...@yahoo.com wrote: Now, if PowerSDR cannot do the switching, can we do this using the logger?

The best thing about the 2x3K setup is you have redundancy, lose one radio (not that I think you will but it does happen) and you have a second one already in service. I wish the virtual machine solution would work but there are none that support firewire that I know of! 73 Neal

You didn't tell us what operating system you are using. The use of vCom is being quickly depreciated in favor of Com0Com and more recently VSPManager for defining virtual serial port pairs. http://k5fr.com/ddutilwiki/index.php?title=VSP_Manager -Tim -Original Message- From:

Mark, This is not very elegant but maybe use the PWR speaker output and VAC.. RX1 to VAC, pan the RX1 to one side maybe left and RX2 panned to the right and use the PWR speaker out to the computer sound card and have the other instance of N1MM pointed to the sound card instead of VAC.
