Re: [Flexradio] Low band

2016-01-19 Thread Andrew Russell
Richard et al. I am using my 1500 and PSDR on the 630m band and have experimented with 2200m too. There is mW level drive on the transverter port on both bands but no filtering. I have a 100W commercial HF amp that only needs 0dBm to put out 50W on 475kHz. So I had to make an RX filter, TX filter

Bill, I have found that VSPMgr and SSDR Cat don't always play together nicely. SSDR Cat for me is sometimes unstable and virtual ports get ghosted. Setting Flex Control knob to COM30 has helped. https://helpdesk.flexradio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200883925-Removing-Hidden-or-Ghosted-Com-ports

Geoff, The Flex 1500 has no filtering below about 480kHz.What you are seeing are images from any strong signal on the antenna. And maybe failure of image rejection.I am using my F1500 on 630m and 2200m on WSPR etc with a 500kHz low pass filter for Rx and one for Tx.I have made a small band pass

The issue is overdrive. I have a HLA300v that has plenty of gain and the F1500 is a good match at 5W. 300W at 160m, lower gain at 10m. They use 4 SD1446 75W transistors. PEP claims are double reality. New version has MRF455 60W bipolars. Clean to about 200W level with output filtering and "protec

Hi Stu et al. I have a Flex 1500 and have been using this MFJ noise canceller on 160m. It works pretty well. There are other designs on the web with better phase adjustment. I use a 40m sloper as the "noise" antenna that is on the oposite corner of the block. The antenna on 160m is a folded m

My Flex 1500 on a similar PC is the same. There is more CPU activity with PSDR in full screen and it scales with window size from 40 to 10%. A few % with the panadapter off. My graphic card is a little underdone, on a single core 3GHz Pentium D with more graphic card memory it is better. L2 and L
