[Flexradio] Amp Keying-5000A

2009-05-24 Thread Mike Schelly
Has anyone measured the PTT-to-RF make and release timing with the newest firmware/software releases? My antique LBO-518 has a sweep problem that precludes me from getting a measurement. Maybe this is all dependent on DSP/Buffer settings and inherent latencies? I think yes, but...everyone's

Bill, All mic EQ's, processors out of line...Flex eq too... Why would a Flex radio need pre-emphasis on TX (and de-emphasis on RX?). I would think if you used the Setup-Tests-Sweep from 20-5K and used TX monitor with an RTA software program you would/should see a flat line. If the TX EQ on the

The Flex Radio supplied firewire cable has been adequate here... If RF in the shack is an issue, the little beads on the cable at HF aren't gonna do much. Firewire twisted pair inherently will reject a lot of RF on a balanced line. Super/multiple shielding is not normally the issue, it's common

Well, my take is the performance monitor/CPU usage is vital tool to gauge performance issues since PowerSDR can be processor intensive more so than memory dependent and if Vista (version ¿) negates this, would someone from Flex categorically state that this tool will be lost for Vista(for now).
