[Flexradio] Lecture on balanced audio by Whitlock

One proposed way of reducing/eliminating the DC spike when connecting an SDR to a sound card is to use an isolation transformer. Here is a very interesting mp3 talk on balanced audio issues by audio guru Bill Whitlock, President and Chief Engineer, Jensen Transformers Inc, presented to the

Re: [Flexradio] Selectable Screen Sizes

Currently I'm just planning on two choices (1024 or 1280 pixels wide, no change to vertical height). I *might* be able to add additional choices, including other vertical sizes, depending upon the amount of work required. What would you like to see? RE: 1440x900 Hi, Jeff-- Nice work on the

Re: [Flexradio] No ALC connection on SDR1000

Although the Alpha amps have an output for ALC the manual states that it is not recommended that it be used! It provides limited protection to overdrive and was often set up improperly. All in all, it does little good and can do a lot more bad when not adjusted properly. A number of Alpha amps

Re: [Flexradio] Connection to Alpha 87A

Looking at the 87A manual I think the amp is automatically switched by incoming RF from the SDR-1000 so you don't need the key input line or the diode line. NO, NO, NO! Did anyone think of looking at the 87A manual that is available on-line? Here is an excerpt, FYI.
