Thanks again to all for the help! Got the 3000 working this evening with WSPRnet just fine. The WSJT software is controlling the rig and decoding signals. Now to chase down the rotten RFI problem when I transmit! Always a challenge - that is why I have enjoyed ham radio for so long. See you

Attn: William H. Fite Yup. Spent a day and half trying to get the controller knob to work. Drivers seemed to install correctly and showed up in device manager but no go when SDR fired up. Reinstalled everything several times and still no joy. Went out and bought a new I7 PC which took my CPU f

[Flexradio] Recommendations for TX equalizer

Just got a (relatively) inexpensive headset with boom microphone from Yamaha. It says it has flat response across voice spectrum. Questions: 1. Is it worthwhile to use the SDR software to check this? Will it be accurate? 2. What are the optimum TX EQ settings for DXing? I read some o

Re: [Flexradio] Flex Control Knob

Jim, did you tell it that you had a FlexControl when you first installed PSDR or did you get the knob later? I was running PSDR and added the FC. Just like you, I found that Win 7 recognized it but PSDR did not. I finally had to uninstall PSDR and reinstall it, checking off the FlexControl duri
