Re: [Flexradio] CW grief, a solution?

Hunter, a friend of mine, W5QI, is a Flex-3000 newbie. He also was concerned with the CW problems using v2.0.8. He solved the problem by plugging an old MFJ CW keyer into his Flex. Says it will work fine until Flex fixes the problem. He's tickled pink over his 3000. Jerry Sharp, KD0GS Longmon

Point well taken Mike. Sorry for the generalization. I do realize it is Beta - I guess I am just anxious to get the official release since I have really enjoyed the Flex experience. Prior to the 3000, I used the same rig for 17 years - my trusty FT-1000. I did quite a bit of research before s

Ditto here! I'm very pleased with CW using PowerSDR 1.18.6 I have tried the new "beta" PowerSDR V2.0 and subsequent updates with unsatisfactory CW keying and I reverted back. The V2.0 is beta software and I'm sure they are working to improve CW performance. I look forward to the other features an

Pete, I am primarily a cw op and had been very satisfied with the cw keying performance of my 3000 until I upgraded to PowerSDR V2.0 Since the upgrade, I have experienced the same annoying popping and crackling of my cw keying and I can't seem to get it fixed. I am running Windows XP on a Qu

Pete, Kind of sounds like you are getting RF into the computer, most of these computers are not designed to operate in a RF rich environment. . You might start adding some ferrites to the FireWire cable just before it goes to the computer, Type 31 ferrites seem to be the best, but others may

I find that my 3000 is very susceptible to RFI even at 100 watts, so it's very plausible that your issues are RF-related. Check your coax/tuner/etc for problems and add snap-on cores wherever you can to eliminate the problem, and see if that helps. Also try the amp into a dummy load and see if it i
