Re: [Flexradio] [FlexEdge] Is the 5000 gone forever?

2013-05-21 Thread DAN HAMMILL
If memory serves, the FLEX 5000A case is a standard model made by Schroff (Pentair in the USA). I use cases made in very similar fashion by another European company for my in-house automated test platforms at work. These cases are running on the order of $500 to $600 each, depending on height - p

Somewhat akin to spending an hour-plus looking all over the shack for that one-and-only Phillips screwdriver that fits those ridiculously tiny screws in a MIC connector - only to discover that it's been in one's hand the entire time, but having no recollection as to how it got there. 73 & Happy Th

AMEN Brother! I'll never forget my first (and only) look into the megawatt-class PA at the Annapolis, MD, VLF transmitter site, NSS, during the late 70's. It had THREE huge metal-ceramic tetrodes - Eimac X-2159's, I believe - BOLTED into the chassis. Two of them were active (in parallel) and one

Well, here in San Diego, it's sunny and 57F - and it's supposed to go up into the 70's today. We also have a saying here: "If you don't like the weather, wait a couple of hours." ;-) This has been a very strange year here for weather, to say the least. 73, Dan KB5MY/6 DM13nc _

Hi Dana, My CPU is a homebrew, and a tad faster - MSI motherboard, P4 at 2.66 GHz (a little seasoned, but good), 512MB RAM, D44 for the SDR-1000, on-board AC-97 for digital stuff (someday), ATI Radeon 9600SE, some built-in and add-on USB & Firewire ports, and Windoze XP. Works great! Can't speak

Many moons ago (1993), I tried to learn Windows programming in ANSI C by poking through Microsoft auto-generated code. Not very productive. I wound up taking the Introductory C and Advanced C classes at UC San Diego Extension for a good foundation in non-Windows ANSI C, then I started simple with

[Flexradio] LO Calibration & Schematics

2006-02-16 Thread Dan Hammill
My brand new SDR-1000 has a serious problem whereby the 200 MHz reference oscillator seems to have permanently settled more the a full 1.0 MHz away from 200 MHz after only a few hours' use. Consequently, because of the software's hard limit of 1.0 MHz for LO correction, I can't calibrate the radio

Well, I have my new SDR-1000 set up with all of the above. The N6CA sequencer works fine, Pin 7 XVTR PTT works fine, and SDR-1000 PTT works fine. I can even hear the background TX leakage from the SDR-1000+DEMI combo in the IC-746PRO on 2m. But - no TX audio. I use the NCS 3240 Multi-Switcher +
