Mike, I get a similar error with 2m transverter configuration when I try to either sync VFO's, or copy VFO A to VFO B when that band is selected. This does not seem to happen when any other band is configured as a transverter (i.e 432, 1296, 2300 etc) - only 144 MHz. When I set up a 144 MHz

I have been a ham for more than 30 years and have had many radios, but recently I had to have my Flex repaired due to an operator temporary (I hope it was temporary) loss of comon sense. The Flex is not the only radio in my shack so I believed it would be no problem to use one of the other rigs

Good question Gary. VOX also helps you with a stuck key in the operation. It would be nice if the SDR had a stuck key timeout option that would disconnect after x minutes in a stuck key situation. I did have this happen one time when I was tuning the outboard AT-Auto autotuner to go to a new

Hi Louie, Both CPDR and DX are settings of a Compander, which means compressor/expander. It compresses or expands as needed to increase average power and works somewhat like an RF clipper. It can add close to an S unit of average power. The human voice has an average power of only about 15% of

The windows audio implementation battles would of course go away if PSDR supported digital modes natively rather than through virtual audio cables. Actually, they would not, as the radio itself (F5K F3K) uses the Windows Audio subsystem via ASIO drivers. Having PowerSDR support digital
