[Flexradio] Setting Power Levels for Digital Modes on 5000A

2011-11-14 Thread Jerry Gardner
What is the best way to set output power levels for digital modes? I can think of two possibilities: 1. Set Drive to 100 and adjust TxGain until ALC reads 0 dB. Then set output power level by adjusting the Drive slider. 2. Leaving Drive set to 100 and adjusting TxGain to set the power output on t

[Flexradio] ANF on 15m

2011-02-21 Thread Jerry Gardner
I installed 2.0.19 RC1 and am using it with my 5000A. On 20m phone, ANF works very well. It knocks carriers from people tuning up down to inaudibility. On 15 meters, however, ANF barely makes a difference. I'd say it only knocks carriers down by about 20 dB. Has anyone else seen this? Why should

[Flexradio] Exaggerated Spacing in CWX Keyer

2011-02-13 Thread Jerry Gardner
I'm using CWX to call CQ in CW. When I set the "Drop Delay" value in CWX to a low value (e.g. 150msec), the spacing between letters and words is greatly exaggerated when the keyer sends the contents of the memory. If I set Drop Delay to a larger value, say 300msec, the sent code sounds fine. The m

[Flexradio] Disabling Monitor in CW Mode

I'm using PowerSDR 2.0.16 with a 5000A. The manual says that the "Disable Monitor" box, when checked, will disable the CW side tone generated by the 5000A. It does not -- even with this box checked, I'm still hearing the rig's side tone in my headphones in addition to my external keyer's side tone.
