Re: [Flexradio] Spur in PSK31 output even with no rf out into Dummyload.

No, DM780 opens the output device (Soundcard, VAC) at 8kHz. Surely you can set the VAC to use 48kHz (8kHz * 6) & PowerSDR at 48kHz? You do not have to use the same rate at each end of the VAC - the driver will convert the sample rate (with a little help from Windows). I really don't want to writ

Re: [Flexradio] Spur in PSK31 output even with no rf out into Dummyload.

Converting between 8kHz and 48kHz should not be problematic but between 44.1kHz and 48kHz will be a problem unless it's correctly encoded. there are some good routine in the public domain and also the Intel IPP libraries have excellent sample rate conversion. Simon Brown, HB9DRV http://sdr-radio.

Re: [Flexradio] Spur in PSK31 output even with no rf out into Dummyload.

Yuck! Looking at your screenshot again - the VAC Control Panel window - you're going to have all sorts of rate conversions running, your cables are using 44,100 as their sample rate. I would use a sample rate of 48,000 or 8,000 and *not* have the cable running internally at 44,100, essentially ke

Re: [Flexradio] Spur in PSK31 output even with no rf out into Dummyload.

OK, I see you're connecting PowerSDR to the VAC at 48kHz and DM780 / Fldigi at 8kHz. So the VAC driver will have to convert the data, I'll bet it's this logic which is causing the spur (note - I am often very wrong). I don't have any Flex radios at the moment so can't try my idea but I would try

Re: [Flexradio] Spur in PSK31 output even with no rf out into Dummyload.

Random thoughts: You shouldn't have any spurs, that's it. Even though the spur is ~60dB down on the main signal it'll be easy to decode and just shouldn't be there. As Tim says it could well be a soundcard harmonic *but* you're using VAC, in which case it would have to be generated inside the VA
