Re: [Flexradio] How to measure +5 dbm at 5000A XVTX/COM jack?

2008-08-02 Thread Dana Rawding
Pete, Can you explain why you feel the Elecraft teransverter are 'far better' then the DEMI units? Just curious as they both claim a .8dB NF, +17dBm conversion gain, etc. I'm also concerned with the lack of a heat sink on the PA's on the Electrafts. I've run the DEMI's for hours on

Hi Everyone, Found a really cool product under development at: http://girtonlabs.googlepages.com/sensesurface They have basically developed magnetic knobs that attach directly to a lcd display. Supports both mouse commands and MIDI. You can even have multiple knobs for different

Jim, That's exactly why I think there is some positive feedback on the Indian rig. Add the Atlas/Ozy/Janus combo to it and you are close to the $1000 board you mentioned. If FRS or someone else offered a 5000 series style (integrated sound card) 1W board for $1000 I'd buy it. I've been

2008-06-18 Thread Dana Rawding
I can't agree more with Peter on this point. I was saddened by the discontinuation of the 1W SDR-1000 though I understand it from FRS's business standpoint. For my VHF+ work I just can't justify dropping about 3K on a 5000a to be used as a 10m IF. And for $479 the Indian board sure

Don't forget ARR, either rf switched or receive only. http://www.advancedreceiver.com/page2.html I use a combination of ARR and DEMI pre-amps on 6m through 23cm. I like the DEMI a little better but Steve has been very busy and things are taking a long time. ARR has always responded right

I think the confusion was that in a recent svn version if you dragged the window down you would find controls to enable the panadapter/ waterfall combo. The latest svn version does not have that feature any longer or if it is there it is unaccessible because dragging the window now makes

Hi all, Can someone on the list that has integrated the Janus/Ozy combo with a SDR-1000 drop me an email ([EMAIL PROTECTED])? I have a couple of specific questions in regards to this setup. Thanks, Dana N1OFZ ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List

I would build something like a DEMI PTT buffer board (which I use) or W1GHZ fool proof sequencer with a rf realy. If the radio went into transmit the relay switches out to a dummy load. Of course the relay should be in fail safe mode. Remember to enable X2 TR Sequencing in PowerSDR and

Tim, Yes it works. There is no stock Mac that comes with a parallel port so it's really the only option. FYI, it also works in the native OS X environment using G0ORX/N6LYT's java gui. Dana N1OFZ On Feb 11, 2008, at 6:06 PM, Tim Ellison wrote: This is a global question to all of the

Hi Phil, There are many options. I personally use a Linux firewall. You can create one with any distribution. There are even distros that are specifically firewall/vpn like IPCop (http://ipcop.org) and M0n0wall (http://m0n0.ch/wall/ ). These can be burned to a CD or loaded on a flash

Try Shift+F10 for the right click. A quick Google search also shows that the right apple key also provides the same functionality though I haven't verified this yet. If you want to remap it to another key get Input Remapper (http://www.olofsson.info/ ) or autohotkey

Jim, Yes they will. However, if you have a Mini you might have to download the Intel version of the SigmaTel audio driver. The one that got installed w/ Bootcamp beta didn't work properly with VAC. This may have changed with the final Bootcamp release so you might want to try it before

I've seen Tim mention a few times that he is looking for info regarding running PowerSDR on a Mac. The long and short of it is, that as of now the only 'official' Mac OS that can run Boot Camp is OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and only on Intel based Macs. If you upgrade from a prior version of OS X,
