[Flexradio] frequency

2011-07-14 Thread Kevin Hobbs
Hi I always find that I like the sound of a station on SSB when I tune 100 Hz off .. ie: 50.109900 instead of 50.110. Is there an easy way to put this 100Hz offset into the powerSDR setup? 73 Kevin ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@fl

[Flexradio] 5K PA and Driver bias readings

2011-07-14 Thread Rod Brink
I have the preliminary 2007-2008 service manual for the 5K and am running the BITE tests. It states that the bias currents for the driver and PA should be 200 ma and 1.4A, respectively. The actual values I'm getting are considerably higher than that: 1.0A and 2.264A(nominal). These values ar

Am having trouble starting up v.2.0.22 on my 5K. There are three scenarios: 1) I double-click on the PSDR icon and nothing happens. When I double-click again, I get error message that other PSDR instances are running. The only way to recover is to restart my computer. 2) After double-clickin

The service manual has not been updated in this regard. The PA BIAS driver target is 1.0 amps and the PA BIAS Final target is 2.28 amps. These values were change a while back to improve the audio quality of phone modes. Your numbers are dead on target. The values you see in the debug form a

Rod, Are earlier versions running ok? Reason I ask, you are below the minimum CPU to run PowerSDR, not that it can't work, but it is going to be pretty marginal . If previous versions were 2.x versions, try holding the left shift key, while double clicking PowerSDR, this should bri

Tim - The 5K is new to me (second-hand) and v.2.0.22 is my first experience with PSDR. Lee K9WRU has had the same problem and has theorized that it might be a symptom of an "over-the-hill" computer. At his suggestion I am now slow-clicking the PSDR icon to prevent ghost versions from starting

Kevin, Make sure that you have followed the frequency calibration for your radio.. then check your radio.. If you must, you can offset the DDS , but that will effect the other frequencies severely. 73, Dudley WA5QPZ On 7/14/2011 10:03 AM, Kevin Hobbs wrote: Hi I always find that I
