Re: [Flexradio] My first contest experience with FLEX-5000A
I prefer monitor in a contest because I use auto-keyer to play my 'CQ contest... ditty over and over again to save my voice. Having monitor on lets me hear myself and time when to start paying attention again. Sure someday I'll move over to SO2R, and ill want monitor off so I can be searching for mults while I am calling CQ, but I'm not quite there yet. -Greg -Original Message [Trimmed]- Ruben, I can't imagine why someone would run monitor in a contest for SSB?

Re: [Flexradio] My first contest experience with FLEX-5000A
OK, that makes sense. I run my audio buffers at 256 on my computer get very low latency. You may want to reduce your DSP Transmit buffers slightly as well. There is a trade off on DSP buffers between latency and filter skirts. You may want to play with that one a little.

Re: [Flexradio] My first contest experience with FLEX-5000A
DDUTIL has a memory feature that was added a couple months ago. It memorizes pretty much every thing that can be remembered from the CAT commands. So all you have to do if you bump or click something is just recall what was memorized. The program can memorize up to 5 memories and the memories can be labeled. It also has a toggle feature so you can tune the band and instantly toggle back to a given memory and then toggle back to where you were tuning. It is very useful if you are listening to a QSO and the stations are on different frequencies for example. You can simply toggle back and forth between the different sides of the QSO 73 W9OY ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/

In a multi-multi contest, if you don't use monitor, you are listening the others operators and sometimes is very dificult operate with this.

Team, I was so excited to share my FD I/Q recordings with my club that I neglected to save them properly. Last night I realized I lost them when I upgraded my PowerSDR software (and removed the original PowerSDR software that I had). Now I can just kick myself. Does anyone have any plans on posting their recordings to the web? If so, will you let me know?

[Flexradio] Field Day with a Flex
Greetings All, I used my Flex 3000 for Field Day with my club, K5WPH 5A NM, mostly on 40 sideband. The main problem I had was trying to use a new UPS on the computer I was using for the Flex. I had several hard crashes before I got it through my thick head to change to a different generator and let the UPS charge the battery for a while. The computer started fine and the N3FJP logging program loaded interacting with the rest of the network. Power SDP did not see the 3K. I checked the system and the driver looked like it loaded but Power SDR reverted to Demo mode. I've been reading this group for about two years. I thought, what would Dudley do? I rebuild the Database and it came right up. Now if only some one can point me in the right direction to get the Flex 3000 to work with the N3FJP software collection. 73, Larry WB8LBZ ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
