Neal, If you substract the $150 for the operating system, that means the system HW (less the monitor) is $248.. Not bad. and they showed a 19" monitor for $99..But the case isn't pretty.. hi hi 73, Dudley WA5QPZ FlexRadio Systems (512) 250-8595, Option 2 Email: dud...@flexradio.com W

Re: [Flexradio] Limit drive power?

I don't think it exists either, we are looking for: A way to "lock" the drive level at a particular setting or a way to specify a maximum drive level. (ie, slider cant be set above 75%) During contests the operator at the radio changes fairly frequently, and not everyone is used to operat

Re: [Flexradio] Limit drive power?

Are you asking for a way to "lock" the drive level at a particular setting? If so I do not know of a way to do this. The operator has full access to all of the console controls. -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz]

Re: [Flexradio] CW Filters

Jim, Go to the Setup>DSP form and check the CW RX buffer size. The larger the buffer size, the sharper the filter. Lower sampling rates for a given buffer size will increase filter sharpness at the expense of latency. Hope that helps. Also, I would recommend upgrading to 2.0.16. Gerald Gera

[Flexradio] Limit drive power?

Is there a way to set the maximum drive power for the flex-3000 so that It cannot inadvertently overdrive an amplifier? For a radio that is used in a clubroom by many users, it would be nice to be able to set a maximum drive level so that we don't have to worry about a new user accidentally cr

[Flexradio] CW Filters

I seem to have a problem with my filters. On CW using a 25 cycle filter, I can copy signals 400 cycles outside the filter. Also when I use the 400 cycle filter and move a signal just outside the filter on the scope, the sound of the signal does not change  as I select filters down to 25 cycles. Thi

Re: [Flexradio] Maximized Window & CPU Use

On the other hand, if I start just one program with a high DPC driver, PSDR freaks out, gives me quivering panadapter trace, and won't transmit until I restart. Yup… If your device has a request that’s waiting behind that of another, misbehaving, driver, there’s nothing you can do but suffer

Re: [Flexradio] Maximized Window & CPU Use

Here's another little tidbit to put cores in practical terms: I sometimes run a torture test called Prime 95. which uses FFT calculations to push the AMD CPU to 100% utilization on all four cores. Even with all four cores heating up at 100%, I can still run PSDR 2.01.16 with no audio dropouts

I agree with all of this, it's very well thought-out and said. Very well indeed. The only thing on which I beg to differ is the claim that multiple cores add to context switching overhead. Actually, they don't... Windows is VERY smart about context switching now, and takes into account some

I second Tim's comment on graphics card utilization. I installed a mid-range graphics card- (Sapphire Radeon HD 5770, 1 gb memory, about $135) and watched its utilization. Monitoring software shows less than 2% utilization (usually zero) when using PSDR. I would boldy suggest that money be
