[Flexradio] Calibrate 5000 S Meter
It appears that my 5000 S Meter is at least 10 db shy of where it needs to be. This is based on comparison to my Icom 9800. I hear everything well and pre amp works fine. Is there a process to recalibrate the S Meter???

[Flexradio] Large MOX button
I operate remote better than 50 percent of the time. Since VOX on VAC no longer works on later versions of SDR, is there a way to make a LARGE MOX button so I can easily click on it from an IPhone or IPad?

You have to turn it on at both ends which is NO problem because I use TeamViewer for the remote access control anyway and I just have to click the audio connect button on the Radio side as well as the (Local) remote side. I need to do a write up on it so I don't forget how to do it and when I get some time of course, I can pass it around if anyone else is interested. The Audio for me is MUCH better then Skype which I have used for several years and doesn't have all the extra crap. If you turn down the Refresh Rates under the Setup, Display tab it will help with bandwidth. 73's Bret WX7Y ___ 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.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/

Re: [Flexradio] FlexRadio Digest, Vol 79, Issue 25
Gary: Somewhere along the line VOX on VAC was broken. I wrote a KB on remothing your Flex using Teamviewer. Everything in the KB is still applicable today. However, the VOX stopped working on VAC a few versions back. I have tried checking various boxes, etc, but it doesnt work on VAC. Harry W9BR P.S. Now remote from Kauai, the Hawaiian Islands From: K8EHB Gary k8ehb.g...@gmail.com few months ago I was using K9DUR's VoiceKeyer program during the Ohio QSO arty. Things were going great but after a few hours of operating my leg eeded a rest and I also was getting tired of having to chase down the roaming foot switch under my desk. So I decided to enable VOX and at irst things seemed to be working properly, However, after a few ransmissions I noticed my radio was keying up no longer putting out RF. So disabled VAC and things started working again (except for the voicekeyer hich needs VAC). After sometime I enabled VAC again and after a few ransmissions using VOX the problem reappeared. This time I disabled VOX nd went back to the foot switch and things were back to normal. So based n my experience it seems that you cannot use VOX when you have VAC nabled. So my question is this a bug or by design in PowerSDR? ___ 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.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/

Re: [Flexradio] headsets
I use two different headsets. If you want to go wireless, Cobra makes one for cell phones with a single muff and a NC boom mike. It is Bluetooth, so you use VAC on your PC with the Bluetooth on your PC. If your PC doesn't have Bluetooth, but a USB Bluetooth phob. The other one I use is the Microsoft USB Lite chat. Also use VAC to make your virtual connection. Great audio and it has a lighted mute button on the cord that helps to place you in receive only when using VOX. Use both directly on PC and when running internet remote Harry W9BR Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone with SprintSpeed ___ 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/

The receiver AGC has a limiting action while listening to strong AM signals, sounding much like the station is using an ALC type limiter when they are not. Plus the volume level is noticeably louder. I am experiencing the same issue with the latest official release , 1.18.0. Version 1.16.2 and SVN 2796 and earlier are just fine. I have submitted bug reports concerning this. Now with SVN 3159 when I start Power SDR in AM mode, the RX sounds like it's in DSB until I select a different bandwidth, then it returns to the normal AM mode. Does anyone else experience this with the SDR-1000? Maybe these software changes have improved the 5000 and the 3000 but they are not working very well with the 1000.

[Flexradio] SGC-500
I use an SGC 500 as one of my amps, driven by the 5000. With 30 watts in you should have full output. Your problem when you trip the curent protection is actually low voltage. You have to read peak voltage across the power in terminals of the amp. I placed a 1 ferad capacitor that has a digital colt meter on it across the SGC power input terminals. This got rid of the problem and gives you a cool voltage monitor. I use a 30 amp switching supply and 800 amp battery as a power source. The problem is the 9 feet of cable to the amp and the large cap removes that issue. The actual PEP output I have is 660 watts on almost all bands.
