[Flexradio] No output from Flex-1500 antenna jack.

2011-04-19 Thread Maetta, John (N-)
I mostly use my Flex-1500 on EME with a 2 meter transverter. The transverter is configured for split IF and the Flex-1500 is connected to it with the XVTRCOM and XVTRTX jacks. This weekend, while awaiting the moon rise, I wanted to do some 6 meter meteor scatter ops and I could not get any

2011-03-09 Thread Maetta, John
I believe if you are using VAC to route audio from your digital program to PSDR, a TX filter is not necessary. This is the best way to transfer digital audio to the FlexRadio. If you are routing audio to/from the PC to/from the FlexRadio via audio cables, then the TX filter may be employed.

[Flexradio] Flex-1500 HF IF vs XVTR IF Noise Level

2011-03-03 Thread Maetta, John
Gentlemen, After extensive playing with 2.0.19RC1 using my Flex-1500 and DEMI 144-28 tranverter, I noted an anomaly. The tranverter uses 28MHz as an IF source, which is very common. It appears the noise floor raises 20dBm when switching from the HF band 28MHz to the PSDR XVTR in the VHF 2

[Flexradio] Flex-1500 Spikes on all bands...

2011-03-03 Thread Maetta, John
I am getting spikes at approximately 11Khz intervals on each band. When using WSJT the spike can obliterate a weak EME signal if it happens to fall into the bandpass of WSJT. Is anyone else experiencing this situation? See the videos below. http://www.n6vmo.com/Flex-1500/WSJT_Spikes.avi

Jim, You have the eyes of an eagle. But, after changing the 10M preamp from +20 to 0, to match the 2M settings, the difference is now 6dBm. John -Original Message- From: Jim Jannuzzo [mailto:jsqu...@msn.com] Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2011 8:47 AM To: Maetta, John; flexradio@flex

Luckily, I am not one of the small percentages of Flex-1500 users that experienced this USB driver issue. But, I am in another small group of Flex-1500 users; the group that could use a patch to correct the PTT Delay issue so we can use our radios as we intended. John N6VMO -Original

So, where is the delay of RF for SSB operations? My VHF weak-signal and EME operation requires time to sequence downstream equipment before any RF is applied. It appears that the concerns about sequencing or delaying SSB RF during MIC or digital modes have not been addressed in this version
