Re: [Flexradio] Is possible mute one band?

2008-07-17 Thread n1dz
I have found the power adjustment per band to be very unreliable. I use the sdr1000 for my vhf transveters. Each band needs a different amount of drive. When switching between bands the power not always revert back to the preset for this band. This could have serious consequences for the finals

I am using the SDR1000 remotely. Made both cw and voice qsos. The delay is less than 1 second and the audio sounds slightly distorted with an occasional drop out. Pc anywhere and skype. Using VAC to handle the connections. 73 Maarten n1dz -Original Message- From: Jeff Anderson <[EM

I initally bought the 1 watt version for my 6m and up transverters. I did not buy the 100 watt version as I saw the SDR1000 as an experimental radio. I was not sure if the SDR 1000 would be any useful for me. After less than 3 weeks I added the 100 watt PA as I really enjoyed the low band H

you will need a preamp. The stock SDR1000 is deaf on 6m. For VHF DXing the SDR 1000 needs a bunch of quick memories making it easier to hunt DX. On this moment it is really lacking in its memory capabilities. 73 Maarten N1DZ > -- next part -- > An HTML attachme

The SDR-1000 is definitely ready for prime time. I have used it in the past months as my primary set and slowly started to appreciate its strong points. I still love my TS850 but it does not improve with time. I am using the K6JCA and newest released console (release 686) and have experienced

My TS850s has a much higher sensitivity in SSB on 10m than the SDR1000. On 6m the SDR1000 is plain deaf. 73 Maarten N1DZ On Tue, 29 Aug 2006 15:10:45 -0400, Radio Station W5AMI <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > We tested SSB (USB) and AM last night with the same results, under the >

As a follow up. I did a short count of audible birdies on 10m with the SDR1000 receiver terminated in a dummy load. (BTW 10M is the IF for most of my transverters.) A scan from 28.000 to 28.250MHz netted over 40 birdies. These are audible. I only counted the ones that were 20dB above the noise

I disagree. With my SDR1000 the spurs are real, audible and numerous within the receivers passband. Maarten N1DZ On Mon, 14 Aug 2006 23:53:16 -0400, Dudley Hurry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I guess the key word here is "see". Only in the SDR can you see the > spurs,

[Flexradio] Clicking noise

When I dial the VFO I get a clicking noise every time I change the frequency. It does not matter what tuning step I use. The noise becomes more noticeble on the higher HF bands. (20m and higher) I also see and hear many birdies (> a dozen) popping up and disappearing when I dial the VFO. Again
