[Flexradio] DC/DC Converter (DC1)

2006-09-25 Thread Ross Stenberg
I have noticed this being discussed as an issue several times. It appears that not everyone is affected by the meandering signals. Some are worse than others or not even noticed. Is this a known issue or are they just isolated occurrences? 73 Ross K9COX

I'm sorry, I apologize, I got a lemon of a radio, and the manufacturer is not interested in fixing it, must be my fault somehow. Myself and several others must be imagining this problem, funny thing my other radios don't pick up these moving signals, it's inside my radio. Can you possibly

Cecil, I can imagine that you sent these e-mails twice so that tells me something about you right there. Oh wait that was probably someone else's fault. Are you interested in selling your SDR-1000? I was lucky enough to be able to follow along with Rigs early development because of Dudley Hurry

Hi Folks, I just wanted to let you know about a modification I made to my radio. DC1 is a switch mode converter that provides +/- 15 volts for the instrumentation amplifiers IC6/7 on receive that interface the QSD to the sound card. The DC/DC converter's internal oscillator free runs at ~120
