[Flexradio] TU to Neal Campbell...he helped me build a Flex PC

Thought I would provide an update to the post below. Neal graciously forwarded me the parts list for his smokin PC.  This machine runs an AMD Phenom II X4 Quad-Core processor, 4GB RAM, 320GB HD, dual serial port and 4 port firewire cards. I received the parts last week and spent a night

Hi Mike, You probably saw my email about distorted audio on my Flex 3000. It would clear up after stopping and starting but would distort right away. I even got reports of distortion during transmit. I am using Windows 7 and loaded Windows XP and didn't have a problem. I had an extra PC

Hi John, I agree, the F3K is a semi-break-in rig not a full QSK rig, but it does have a lot of good features. One thing I have learnt over the many years of being a HAM is that there is no such thing as the perfect rig :) I very rarely use SSB so I like you have no interest whatsoever in

Bob, congratulations on your ability to send high speed CW and to place high in contests. I respect you for these accomplishments and especially respect you for your contributions to the Flex radio operations. I had noticed that Flex has removed most references about ability to QSK in their

Jay, There are significant CW performance and other improvements coming in PowerSDR 2.0 (a.k.a. PB-PAL). These enhancements are already being alpha tested by our FlexEdge reflector group. Reports are very favorable. What Bob means is that to make improvements beyond what we have done in PB-PAL

Aha! Thanks, Gerald. It is clear now. Don't read my comments wrong. Because I'm not a software writer anywhere near the level of the excellent contributors who have been improving this radio, I'm not always tuned into exactly what is going on in terms of the software development and

Todd, The delay is due to the inherent latency in the audio processing. I am certain that Tim will refer you to a Knowledge Center article that covers this. (I am just too lazy to look it up right nowhi..hi.) The bottom line is that you can affect the delay by playing with the size of the

To all Flexers, Due to a logistics and a scheduling conflict, FlexRadio Systems is not going to be in attendance at the Charlotte hamfest in March. We didn't want to leave North Carolina high and dry, so there will be a FlexRadio booth at the Raleigh (RARS) hamfest on April 3, 2010.

2010-02-23 Thread Brett Gazdzinski
With a fast computer, you can run the radio in normal mode with low audio buffers, and also turn the TX dsp buffer all the way down, and get a real time monitor. Lowering the sample rate to 96 KHz helps run with smaller buffers on the flex 5000, so I suspect the 3000 will run with lower buffers
