There is another approach that works well and doesn't require a second computer or a second OS. AlacrityPC http://alacritypc.kensalter.com/ . It's donationware. Works really well (at least under XP). When I start PowerSDR, Alacrity shuts off all of the services and applications that I

Maybe I'm wrong, but most of the controls (including, I think the Drive slider) move in 1 dB increments. In a Lab environment, +/- 1 dB in the RF domain is a tough target to maintain without a LOT of process. 73, Tom N4TAB ~~ On 10/20/2011 9:15 PM, Steven Hess wrote: I'd like a

It's better. Fun to play with and works well for me. Astounding to null a BC station and hear another underneath. Or, to help clean-up summertime noise in 75 meters. Does need disparate antenna orientation for RX1 and RX2. 73, Tom N4TAB ~ On 7/26/2011 3:55 PM, Alan NV8A wrote:

Re: [Flexradio] Why does clicking on the transmit profile change the Mic gain?

It depends upon the type of microphone used, output level and a number of other factors. Most mics are different. Also, is Mic Boost used? Lots of variables. 73, Tom N4TAB ~ On 11/22/2010 5:25 PM, Gary Warner wrote: David, I realize that it is making the settings according to a saved

Watch the AGC-T slider control as you cross the Out Of Band boundary and I think you'll notice that it moves to a default level that is different from your AGC-T setting within the Ham bands. 73, Tom N4TAB Wake Forest, NC ~~~ On 7/11/2010 9:41 PM, Mark Lunday wrote: Just

I've looked through the KB and Google searched using keywords but I haven't located an answer to this query. Since the 5K is a duplex radio, meaning, as I understand it, the RX is not muted during TX, what happens to the RX AGC during/following TX? For example, if the RX AGC has decay and
