[Flexradio] Ver 2.1.5: CW break-in problem?

I just installed Ver 2.1.5 for my 5000A and the installation went smoothly. However, something seems wrong with CW break-in. Whether I am using iambic mode with a paddle, or if I turn off iambic and use a straight key or bug, the first element I send is elongated. If I turn break-in off and

[Flexradio] VOX adjustment

Hello, I recently purchased a Heil PR 781 microphone and cable for use with my 5000A. I have never tried phone operation before (on any radio) and decided to test the setup first by transmitting at low power (approx. 10 watts) into a dummy load. I am using PowerSDR v2.0.20 RC2. The radio works

Re: [Flexradio] CW skimmer and N1MM logger

Last night I downloaded DDUtil and set it up to run the N1MM logger. I am still using vCom rather than com0com at this point, and I have not yet brought CW skimmer into the picture. I've had partial success. Both DDUtil and N1MM logger respond to frequency changes when I scroll around the

Re: [Flexradio] CW skimmer and N1MM logger

Apologies, I'm not explaining this very well -- this is my first experience with both DDUtil and the N1MM logging software. What I called the macro buttons in the N1MM logger are the buttons on the logger Entry Window with labels such as CQ, Exch, My Call and so forth. When I connect the

[Flexradio] CW skimmer and N1MM logger

Hello, I am interested in running CW skimmer and the N1MM logging program alongside PowerSDR (1.18.2). I am able to run CW skimmer by itself with PowerSDR, and the logger by itself with PowerSDR. In both cases, the applications behave as expected with vCom providing the linkage. However,

[Flexradio] CW zero beat

Hello, I have been playing with the zero beat on my Flex 5000a. If I use it repeatedly on the same CW signal, my ear tells me that it is finding a different solution each time. I can also see the display shifting on each attempt. I understand why a zero beat button is a nice feature, and maybe I

[Flexradio] Question about t/r cycle and power

of me...and, as I've practiced using the paddle, the fan in the power supply kicks in even though drive is set to zero. Is this the expected behavior? Thanks very much, Samuel Cartinhour W2SNX ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz

Re: [Flexradio] CW operation problem

Hello, The keying problem kept me off the air for about a month after I received my 5000A. I posted on the problem recently (ca. 2/10) to see if anyone might have a fix for direct keying via the key jack. I took the advice of several Flexers and installed a serial card on my computer. As of

Hello, I am having problems setting up for CW on my 5000A. If anyone recognizes the symptoms below and has overcome them, please let me know! My system details are at the bottom of this message. Thanks very much, Sam Cartinhour W2SNX 1. Using a paddle connected directly to the key jack, iambic

Re: [Flexradio] 5000A and CW setup

? -- If you have an external keyer, try hooking your paddles to the external keyer, and then use the external keyer to key the FLEX-5000 (making sure that you uncheck 'Iambic' on PowerSDR). Do you still see the behavior that you described? 73, Dale WA8SRA Samuel Cartinhour wrote: Hello, I

[Flexradio] 5000A setup problem

Hello, I received my 5000A on January 7 but have not yet successfully set it up. I am hoping someone here has encountered a similar problem and worked it through. I've contacted Flex support but a solution is not yet identified. My computer is a Dell Dimension DM061, Pentium D, 2.8 GHz with 1 GB

[Flexradio] problems with cw breakin 10.2 vs 10.3

Hello, I am having a problem using cw breakin with my SDR-1000. I am uncertain whether I have set something up incorrectly or I've stumbled on a software issue. The details are as follows. Using 1.10.2, breakin works very nicely for either of these configurations: a paddle connected directly to

[Flexradio] Power fluctuation when using PSK31

Hi, I've been trying to set up my SDR-1000 for PSK31 operation using MixW 2.18 and sometimes DigiPan. I am at v1.10.1 of PowerSDR. I had my first QSO last night (MixW) and received a good report on my signal. However, I've noticed the following: when I transmit an idle signal into a dummy load

Re: [Flexradio] Power fluctuation when using PSK31

I'd like to thank everyone who has responded so far to my original message. I did a more thorough search through the archives and found additional postings that seem to describe the same, or a similar behavior with VAC and MixW (for example, search on pulsing). Jim (W4ATK) suggested I try

Re: [Flexradio] Power fluctuation when using PSK31

Following Tim's suggestions, I modified the VAC sample rate to 48 KHz and the MixW sample to 12 KHz. I also used the VAC settings shown in the revised KB article on how to setup the VAC software. Audio and VAC buffers (in the PowerSDR setup) are now both set to 1024. I haven't yet upgraded VAC

[Flexradio] Questions about Database

Recently several postings have mentioned the database associated with PowerSDR and also noted that it sometimes needs to be wiped clean. I am hoping someone can answer a few questions about this for me. I looked through the Knowledge Base and also the manual and didn't have much luck--apologies to

[Flexradio] keying practice

Hello, I would like to practice my cw sending at higher speeds using the SDR-1000's internal keyer and also try out the built-in cw keyboard feature without actually going on the air (my typing skills are rudimentary at best). As far as I can tell so far, the only way to do either of these is to

[Flexradio] Request for help -- USB adapter

Hello, This is my first posting to the list. I’m hoping that someone might have an insight into the problem I’ve encountered with my new SDR-1000. I suspect the basic issue is RFI but it seems like an extreme case--maybe something else is going on?. Any advice will be welcome. The SDR-1000
