A 5000c with buttons, I guess in short.

Re: [Flexradio] Synergy KM sharing SW
I run Synergy here on five computers and six monitors. The SDR computer is a quad core, has two monitors and runs Win7 32 Pro. It also runs the Synergy server and has been doing so for over six months. Photos at http://w3jjj.com/history.html . The only problem I've ever encountered is that occasionally I have to restart the SDR system because it loses contact with the other computers. This has only happened when I use the Win 7 Snipping tool to cut/paste large images. I have not experienced any issues with DPC's. The real plus of not using a KVM switch is that you can cut/paste between computers with Synergy. You cannot drag and drop from computer-to-computer, but I understand that might be a future feature. My aforementioned SDR machine is Win 7 32, the Web Server machine is Win 7 32, two ancillary systems are Vista and my email/secondary digital receive system is XP Pro. I leave all of my systems (and the Flex) run 24x7 and have been up constantly for over a year. I did play with Ubuntu for a couple of years, but that was pre-Synergy, so I can't offer any insight into it's compatibility.

Re: [Flexradio] Noise Cancelers and flex 3000
I didn't get to see Anthony's video, but I run an MFJ 1026. My main antenna is a W5GI dipole and my second antenna is a vertical. The MFJ does a great job of nulling out the noise. It can make the noise disappear and reveal signals you couldn't otherwise hear. It's basic theory of adding in a signal out of phase to cancel something out. The secondary antenna is the keys to eliminating some interference. -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Anthony Martin Sent: Sunday, October 18, 2009 4:21 PM To: 'Anthony M'; flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Noise Cancelers and flex 3000 Ive taken down the video for the time being - But will re-do tonight showing my physically pressing the on/off button of the MFJ.

Re: [Flexradio] TX Audio Quality Help, please!
Jeff, a couple questions. What version of the code are you running? Have you tried different versions to see if it affects the sound? If you back off the mike gain does it still sound grainy? Are you feeding the 5000 output into a dummy load for your recording? Have you tried it on a different band to see if it's RF? The third recording sounds slightly better then the first two when you back away from the mic. My 1KSDR had this problem until I added an EQplus in front of it. Working with Julius (W2IHY), I knew this was RF but I couldn't get rid of it. Maybe I didn't have the correct ferrite beads or bypassing. But adding the EQplus fixed it for me. I also use a PR40 and my shack is directly under my W5GI antenna. As a side note, if you are ever looking for software to measure THD, I use the following from www.ymec.com. They have a 30 trial that you could measure THD with. Since this is amateur equipment and not commercial grade I have not done this with my radio gear but I might be a fun test.

Anyway, there have been a few complaints about my audio. I've been fighting this problem since January, and I've tried a number of things to improve the audio, but nothing has helped. Neither Gerald nor John at Flex have had any luck replicating my problem - it seems I'm the only one experiencing it. Anyway - I'm at wit's end trying to figure out what the heck is going on, and so I thought I'd try the massive brain power on the reflector to see if anyone here might have any ideas. I'm open to all suggestions! To get an idea of what I'm experiencing, you can go to my Blog. The URL is: http://k6jca.blogspot.com/ There are three different audio tests. If you could, please take a listen. Is there distortion, or am I imagining things? If you do hear distortion, any ideas of what to do? Suggestions, advice, and comments are welcome! And by the way, if any of you run a Heil PR-40 directly into your Flex, what settings for TX EQ do you use? Thanks! - Jeff, k6jca ___ 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://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ ___ 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://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/

Re: [Flexradio] Surprise, there is a new HRFIO board to buy for your Flex 5000a (maybe I missed an announcement on this also)
No, no objection. It just caught me off guard. This was talked about since Dayton last year as being the SO2R out of the box once we had the RX2. I now have the info behind the link and can see changes in ASSY34. The ASSY 34 version adds a superset of two new features in addition to the RX2 capabilities available with ASSY 27: 1. The option to connect RX2 to the ANT1 SO-230 (UHF) connector for transceiver operation. 2. The ability use any of the ANT1-3 connectors for 6m transmissions I would have thought these two options would have been there since day 1. Just my thinking. Shame on me. Thanks for the input guys.

Tim, as I told Lee off list, I agree and yes we are spoiled. That's why I voted with my dollars for the Flex and will continue to do so. This just caught me off guard. The radio still seems brand new and it's time to upgrade. I must be the only one on the reflector that was surprised by this. Sorry, my apologies. Thanks for everyone's input.

Take the upgrade between the IC-756 Pro II and the Pro III as an example of the extreme end of the scale. It is the same radio with a bit more filtering at the first IF, a slightly improved preamp and 60m support and it was almost $1000 more than the list price of the Pro II when it was released. We get very spoiled because with a SDR, we get *lots* of upgrades to the radio for free with a software download or for a small incremental cost when it is a rare hardware change. -Tim ___ 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://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/

Re: [Flexradio] Palstar AT-AUTO external automatic antenna tuners
Hi Tom, I run the 5000a with the AT-AUTO. Works great. The setup goes like this. I have the 5000a cat port in PowerSDR set to com 16. Com 16 is paired with com 6 in N8VB's vCom driver. Then I use K5FR's (Steve Nance) DDUtil to handle virtual com ports. The Radio port is set to com 6, then the passive listener port is set to com 3. Com 3 is a physical com port going to the AT-Auto. The AT-AUTO is set to Kenwood CAT commands only and PowerSDR is set to Kenwood commands. Also the baud rate is same at PowerSDR, DDUtil and the AT-AUTO. With this much of the config, the AT-AUTO will track the Flex 5000a. Next is some more fun. In DDUtil I now set the Master RCP port to another vCom port. It happens to be com17. Now I launch Ham Radio Deluxe and tell it I have a Kenwood 2000 on com7. Now I change frequency and do all my logging in HRD and the PowerSDR and the AT-AUTO all in sync. The next step is to feed CAT commands to an AMP but I haven't got their yet. Hope this helps. Fire away with any questions.

Re: [Flexradio] DDUtil Beta Release
Thanks for the utility Steve. It works great. No problems. I have PowerSDR tied to HRD and the Passive Listener is driving the PalStar AT-Auto. Thanks for sharing! Happy Holidays! Jerry WB0UZW. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Nance Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2007 1:22 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] DDUtil Beta Release Anyone need a way to send PowerSDR transmit frequency data to your Linear or Band Switch or Tuner while using your favorite radio control program. I have written a small C# helper utility called DDUtil (Flex Data Decoder Utility) which I think will do that. In brief DDUtil will connect to PowerSDR, poll it for transmit frequency data and then furnish it to your RS-232 and/or BCD band switching devices. For example it will band switch a Yaesu Quadra amplifier, a SteppIR antenna controller and a Palstar AT-Auto tuner all at the same time. If you want to run a radio control program such as HRD or DXLabs or MixW it will change modes and pass all commands from the radio control program to PowerSDR and still provide the passive listener devices frequency data. DDUtil is very much beta software and there will be bugs so don't look for a bug-free release just yet. I have been playing with it for several weeks and can't break so I figured it was time to give it to Mikey. Those of you brave enough to try it can find it here http://k5fr.com/DDUtil.htm. Please read the web page and help file as there are some setup issues to be aware of. Please report any bugs or comments to me privately.
