Re: [Flexradio] Flex 3000 not responding

2017-02-11 Thread Neal Campbell

Don,

The main components are:
The firewire interface on the computer
The firewire cable
The firewire port on the 3000.

Try replacing the cable with the one that works and if it still doesn't
work, you know the cable is okay.

If you can see the other radio with the same firewire port on the computer,
then you can eliminate that.

That would leave the radio's firewire port to be at blame (or the radio
itself).

Believe me, I am still selling powersdr-based computers and the parts are
not leaving the market at all. You might find PCI-based cards leaving the
market just the way ISA-based cards did because lack of support under Intel
chipsets. Tablets are changing the market (as well as Chrome-based laptops)
so everything is going simpler and cheaper, except gamer-oriented laptops
which are way more expensive than most people want to pay (but they
likewise are compatible with the firewire-based SDRs.

2015-11-30 Thread Neal Campbell

Hi Patrick,

I have gotten the question of what support services I offer more than once
so I am replying to the reflector so others might know.

I offer the following services, all targeted towards the entire Flex and
Apache Labs radio line (I own a 5000 by the way so its what I have the most
experience with!):
- Remote installation and tune-up service - where I tune and streamline
your windows installation, take care of any latency problems present,
install any software you want, configure it to work with your radio and
document the configuration by creating a document of screen snapshots of
each changed parameter.

- SDR New User Orientation and installation service - where I install,
configure and document any software that you would like to work with your
radio. I also spend time going thru any operational issues you might have.

- 1 Year of Remote Support for your ham software - I provide yearly support
contracts to help you with any problems with your computer, configure
software (including installing new releases) as well as assist when
installing new hardware, etc. I offer a 1 business day turn around for
getting back to you when you request assistance.

- 30 day Remote Support for your ham software - As above for 30 days!

 ...I believe it has been noted that there is no further development
 anticipated for PowerSDR. Additionally, it sounds like the 'dongle'
 plugs into the 6K rather than into a PC so there are probably significant
 architectural and hardware differences that would pretty much exclude the
 legacy radios. Just my two cents worth (and probably worth less than that).

Re: [Flexradio] Windows 10

2015-08-03 Thread Neal Campbell

What program is reporting the comm ports don't exist? Are you starting that
program as part of the Startup of your system?

It takes a while (even in Win7) for VSPMgr's comm ports from being
established and if you run a program (like DDUtil) that uses them before
everything is established, it will not 'see' the ports.

You can test this but just manuall running the program (ie DDUtil) later on
and it will see the ports just fine.

I have solved this in my systems but using scheduled tasks to start up
these programs after a 20 second delay after startup instead of using the
startup folder.

 After uninstalling the VSP manager using add remove programs, i made a

If what I outlined is the problem, I just went thru this with Steve a

 Hi Don,
 I did not notice until you mentioned it, since my ports were all okay. I
 did try to open VSP Manager after
 seeing your message and i observed the sane thing.

 When I tried to go to the location where VSP Manager was installed, I
 noticed it was under a temp folder
 After uninstalling the VSP manager using add remove programs, i made a
 volder VSP Manager under C:\ and moved the setup.exe folder there.
 I then executed the setup.exe folder and all is well now.

 Hi all

 First question: Is the wiki alive somewhere?

 2nd question, if the wiki is dead, I need some help with WPSR on my
 Flex3000 on 60m please.

 I can RX okay (okay so not much received) but if the WSPR software goes to
 TX and I'm in DIGU mode, it says I'm out of band and chucks me out
 unceremoniously with a warning of TX out of band and forced STOP. My TX
 filter is 2900 high, 200 low, which is too wide for the 60m channel. I'm in
 5.28850 listening to around 1khz of the channel.

 If I set my HIGH to be say 1200 and my low to be 200, do i have to reset
 this back to 2900 high every time I want to use SSB? It would be a pain to
 have to amend the PSDR settings every time I change modes.

 PSDR v2.7.2 (TURFed with Jurgen's help)

Re: [Flexradio] PowerSDR and Falling prices

2015-03-02 Thread Neal Campbell

You can get the source code by asking. I think you now need VS2008. The guy
who does the version of PSDR that uses the Hercules DJ console is able to
fully compile and deliver an add on version. I do not know if there are
dll's that he cannot distribute himself that incorporates the proprietary
parts of the radio, but I honestly bet that Flex will drop the proprietary
parts in the medium future (2-3 years as opposed to next month). I have no
inside information about this, its just my feeling.

PSDR is being updated every 2-3 months over on the OpenHPSDR side of the
source code and below the UI (which they have also enhanced) there is very
little left of the code that Flex uses. Its possible that they get tired
and stop updating it but since its still their premier software (and
because of the architecture of their radios) I do not think it faces any
decreased activity in the future.

 So, is PowerSDR back in open source?  I thought they stopped making the
 source code available when they added the TNF and custom skins.  An older
 version is available, but why would you want to add anything to an obsolete
 version.  The openHPSDR group has been doing fine work extending PowerSDR,
 but I'm not sure their version supports Flex hardware any longer.

 Also, the fact that the Flex PowerSDR compiled ONLY under Visual Studio
 2003 is a dramatically limiting factor.  I bought a newer version of Visual
 Studio (2005), only to find out the code would NOT compile under it.  For
 years.

 I'm not faulting Flex at all on any of the above.  And, I'm not arguing
 one way or the other.  I'm just checking on your assumption that it would
 be reasonable to modify and improve the latest distributed version of
 PowerSDR.

 Do you have source for the 6500-series radios yet?

 They don’t have to be gods to prevent mere mortals from working with/on
 the code.  They just have to restrict the distribution of source, or use
 tools that are difficult for those mere mortals to obtain.

 BTW, I also have a 6500, and an SDR-1000.  I'd rather Flex spend its time
 on providing the improvements to SmartSDR than improving PowerSDR any
 further. And, I believe that's what they are doing.

 I just question the rush to pay for something that's free and licensed

 I bought an SDR1000, Flex5000A, and Flex6500 just because I could tinker

 If they could do it. Why can't I? I have the hardware, the wish, and the

Re: [Flexradio] Flex Radio

2015-03-02 Thread Neal Campbell

There are still people scrambling to get SDR1000s up and running so I am
not so concerned about the value of the 5000s and 3000s. They are still
great radios and are the new gateway' rigs for more current architectures
(and packaging).

PowerSDR is an old friend and things just seem to work when and where I
want them to, its still tough competition for SmartSDR since its feature
set is so wide.

I doubt that the value will go below 1.5K though. If I saw something much
lower I definitely would be buying one.

 repeaters  or do you do simplex and SSB.  Also, what is the added
 receivers?  Do you monitor two different Bands.   I have trouble just
 listening to one band never mind two at once.   LOL
 Thanks for the info folks

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 5000 Value

2015-03-01 Thread Neal Campbell

I dont think there is an issue with old computers (I will continue to test,
configure, build and support these radios for as long as anyone will
tolerate me!)

I think the way forward would be for Flex to contribute their proprietary
parts of PowerSDR back to the Open Source license and let it merge with the
OpenHPSDR programming branch of PSDR. Warren Pratt and crew have done some
absolutely amazing things with their flavor of PSDR (they just introduced a
second noise reduction feature, for instance) and have completely rewritten
all of the DSP logic, it performs just wonderfully.

It might be too early for them to do this as I expect it could be viewed as
discontinuing support but it would really open things up a lot (and bring a
lot more resources onboard for its maintenance).

Also would be interesting to see if cuSDR ever gets the transmit side of
the logic straight, it could also be ported to the Flex radios.

  What might perk up interest in buying a used Flex 5000 or 3000 would be
  if Flex released a new version of PowerSDR. The last version, 2.7.2, was
  issued almost a year ago (March/April 2014). Potential buyers might be
  swayed positively if they saw that the software was still being updated
  even if for the most part, it was mainly just bug fixes. To me, it could
  be a win-win for Flex. New Flex users would come into the fold buying up
  the used 3000's and 5000's and existing Flex users could migrate to the
  6000 series without sitting on a double investment of equipment.

   I've been studying values of all the 5000 models as of late pretty
   closely.
  
   The last 3 5000a with 2nd RX, tuner and V/U that I saw on QTH went
   for around $2300.  A big difference than 6-8 months ago when they
   were going for $2800-$3100.
  
   Units with tuners and 2nd RX seem to be in the $1600 to $1900
   lately.
  
   Mine is a bare bones unit and I have it advertised on QRZ and
   QTH.com for $1500 OBO which I *thought* was a fair price.
  
   I've had 4 responses between the 2 sites and no offers whatsoever.

Re: [Flexradio] FlexControl installation question

2015-01-08 Thread Neal Campbell

Just make sure you are using VSPMgs 1.0.3 instead of 1.0.1. Also. I move
 my flexcontrol to  COMM30 or greater since SSDR/PSDR will find it and
Windows leaves it alone.

I never have flexcontrol/vspmgr 1.0.3 issues, in over 100 machines sold.

 I received my FlexControl today.  The instructions included in the box are
 both very specific that I
 need to remove not just the VSPmgr ports but the software, but also vague
 about using ports 8 or
 higher to avoid future conflicts when I reinstall VSPmgr.  In looking
 around the support sites, I
 did find a discussion about letting it install and then using the Device
 Manager to change the port
 number to one which does not conflict.  I have had other pieces of
 hardware step on the virtual ports,
 and this worked.

 Which one is valid?

 Currently I have:

 Ports 1-4 real PCIe serial ports

 Port 5 a USB serial port
 Ports 6-8 are each one end of a VSP pair.

 I have legacy software which is still useful but only sees ports 1-8 and
 losing the use of those ports
 would be a problem more important than having a FlexContol right now.

 Before fumbling through this, I am curious what sort of conflict occurs? I
 am not currently using
 Ddutil.

Ron,

Every card is different (each individual card) but I have a  history of
Startech cards going bad and locking up people's machines, especialy at
boot time. I think there is a reason the SIIG cards cost a bit more and its
because they are of a higher quality. I haven't had 1 SIIG card fail me

Re: [Flexradio] [FlexRadio] 5000A Low Output

I would check the power supply feeding the radio. Make sure you are not
going thru those 12v distribution strips sold by 3rd party companies, there
will be a slight voltage drop and you will need all the volts you can get
on transmit.

Same here as Gerald. The only negative (versus what you are used to) is to
reply or track the dialog you have to go back to the community but I have
not minded doing that. I think the community is less impulsive (you might
say immediate) so it seems that there are many fewer emotional outbursts

Hi Dave

Congrats in upgrading to the new Signature line!

The email reflectors are things of the past, Flex uses its community
website for all customer interaction (and many of its customers do also).

Hi all

I you purchased a computer from me  in the last year, I would appreciate a
few moments of your time.

In a couple of the DX Dream Machine computers, I used as a graphics card
one using an R7 260x chipset. This card has a flaw that gives sporadic
errors and is just bad news. Driver updates are not fixing the instability
and it obviously is having negative effects on smartSdr users.
?
Could you look and see if I used this graphics card in your computer? Go to
the device manager (Start Button-Control Panel-Device Manager) and look
at the entity Display Device, if it says anything like AMD R7 xxx please
let me know by sending me an email to nealk...@gmail.com.

I would like to replace it with a more stable card to prevent any future
problems you might have!

 Dudley,

 I agree.  Our club had an Astron RM-35 that had the series pass transistor
 fail (short).  The output voltage went to the maximum provided by the
 transformer  the 2 rigs connected to it were damaged.  The Yaesu FT-950
 was
 repairable, but a Yaesu FM rig was not economical to repair.

 A problem with linear supplies is that if the series transistor fails, the
 result is a serious over-voltage situation.

 the FAQs and created a trouble ticket, but no response on follow-up from

 Need to get with a working system, and isolate the problem.

I think Skimmer can send code and uses the other cable to send audio CW

 can run two new monitors at max resolution (1920X1080).  All programs run
 normally except for PowerSDR which gives red X's on the skin and crashes

 I've disinstalled and reloaded both the video and Flex drivers and software

Hi David

I do it as an option on the computers I sell, basically I buy split toroids
from digikey and put one on any non-data lead in the case. The most
critical is to get the wires going to the front panel switches and lights

feel better doing all of the power cables touching the mobo, including the

 uses an interrupt method for processing the audio datarather than the

 v4.12. There is better (lower) latency with v4.12

 If you need help creating the VAC cable definitions, then you can use this

 5000+RX2 and a 1500 running on the same PC and 1 channel to use as the

 I've been following your dilemma for a couple of days and I have never

 that allows you to turn it on. Without it turned on DM-780 doesn't know

 First, try moving around with the step size at 10 Hz with spur reduction

 Second, turn spur reduction off and try panning around again.  The

 If spur reduction requires more CPU horse power, I would expect the

I am getting compliments undeserved. Bill bought one of my machines and I
should have asked him about what software he wanted at the time of purchase
but I didn't so it wasn't exactly configured as he wished when he got it. I
truly want a plug in and get on the bands experience which he didn't

 Wow, what a life changing experience I had last night.  I was walking by
 my Man Cave when I looked in and saw my computer working like crazy.  At
 first I thought that On No my computer is crashing.  I went in and then
 realized that Neil was on the Team Viewer and fixing all my computer
 problems.  I now have the Hercules DJ program in as well as Bobs Meter
 program.  My computer is now flawless and I love it.

 All of a sudden I looked down and saw that Neil had written asking if I
 was around and we began to talk.  He asked if I wanted to know about my DX
 programs that were put in by him.  I told him I was not really interested
 in DXing.  He then asked if I liked the Digital part of Flex and I told him
 not at this time as I just liked talking.  The next thing I knew this large
 note pad or something lik that came on and Neil told me it was easier
 talking back and forth.  We talked this way for about an hour and at the
 end he said, You have just had your first experience with Digital Radio.
  I laughed and said Really?   So, I have learned that I now like Digital
 and will learn to use it more.

 I want to take this time to thank Neil; from the bottom of my heart.  I
 have been sitting around here for the past few months not really having
 interest in much.  I lost my interest in my fellow man and have been
 avoiding contact with people.  I realize now that I am totally burned out
 from my career.

 I have seen all you people come rushing out to try and help me with all
 the various problems I was experiencing with trying to get this Flex to do
 all I wanted it to do.  You have all been great and it has given me some
 new hope.  I have found people who are nice and want to help others and
 show a genuine concern for other people.

 So, I thank each and every one of you for your concern and advice.

 God Bless

Re: [Flexradio] Using Digital Master 780 with Flex 5000a

2014-03-11 Thread Neal Campbell

I have seen 2 instances where DDU was drawing excessive CPU utilization
(like 90%) and it obviously was stressing the system to the point that
anything with a DPC had to wait a long while to getr control back.

I replaced DDU2 with DDU3 and the problems were fixed.

   However, I realize that it is not decoding worth a darn. Very strong

 The first time was when the loop antenna had one lead disconnect from the

 The Second was after my cat decided to play around behind the desk. I found
 that RF got into the Firewire cable after she had relocated the Firewire

 on the Firewire, 10 watts was not liked by the Firewire System.

 I have a Flex 3000 with PSDR 2.7.2 that has been running generally fine
 until this PM.
 When I went to tune, no power out was shown.  I rebooted XP Pro SP3 and one
 tune effort worked a bit, but subsequent efforts showed no power out again.
 I took power off the F3K and the PC, then powered all back on, symptom
 continued.  When I ATU or Tune, the SWR sweeps down the full range of the
 meter, then starts back again at the high end.
 Something is screwed up, but I have no idea what.
 What should I do now?

2014-01-13 Thread Neal Campbell

John,

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

The only thing I remember is there was a preamp mod done right after the
radio was introduced, I think the preamp was too hot so it had to be
tamed a bit. Bit this was literally months after it was introduced so I
think you are okay!

Besides, if it isn't I am sure Flex will do it for you!

  I just got a new Macbook Air. I installed Parallels 9 with Windows 8.1.
 I have the Thunderbolt to Firewire dongle attached to the Granite Firewire
 cable. I'll be getting a Flex 3000 soon and wondering if anyone has
 experience with Parallels going through Thunderbolt to Flex since Parallels
 now claims to support Thunderbolt.

Re: [Flexradio] NVIDIA Video Card?

2014-01-03 Thread Neal Campbell

I think the trick is to not install new drivers for the their card once you
get one that works. If you have a problem it fixes, you should test it. Do
that by (1) take a checkpoint, (2) run DPCLat for 5-10 minutes and see what
DPCs look like. (3) install new drivers, then (4) run DPCLat and see how
things look. If its worse, (5) restore the system back to the checkpoint
you took in step 1!

 including the current one (331.65) do behave very well (DPC peaks here are
 100 micro seconds).
 But even the couple of releases with the high spikes never made the entire
 system unstable. I also have the Nvidia Gforce Experience and Control Panel
 running (next to AVG Internet Security).
 I probably do not handle as much graphic cards as Neal does but I would
 not panic if you happen to have an Nvidia card in your system, just keep
 the drivers updated and if something does not work out on your system, roll
 back!
 There are bios settings for the motherboard that have a far greater impact
 on system stability than graphics drivers (but I agree that every way of
 keeping DPC's low helps).

 Happy new year to all and keep enjoying your Flex!

Thats why I don't install nvidia cards in my computers! It seems they will
introduce a release with DPCs once or twice a year. Usually device
manufacturers have crappy drivers early on then they get better as  time
marches onwards. No so with nvidia, they veer between great and horrible

Re: [Flexradio] Important Flex SDR Performance Factors

2013-12-27 Thread Neal Campbell

On a practical mode, how certain are you that you will like SDR radios
(don't ask us because we are all crazy about it)? If you are sure you like
SDR, buy the 3000. Its the best bang for the buck radio right now (and
possibly ever).

If you think you will like it but there is a little fly of doubt  buzzing
around your ear, get the 1500. From the SdR perspective, it looks the same
as the 3000 and the 5000 (minus some sophisticated features probably not on
your to do list for quite a while). Run it for a couple of months and see
if your excitement grows or diminishes. If it grows, put the 1500 on the
market and buy the 3000. If it diminishes, put it on the market and buy the
KX3 or whatever.

You will be able to get 80+% of your investment back from the 1500 so you
really cannot lose either way.

 The 1500 is a qrp radio. The 3000 is a 100 watt radio. The K3 can use NAP3
 software which is based on FlexRadio's PowerSDR software.
 For me the most important factor is the fun factor. An SDR radio is tons
 of fun! An SDR radio should be included in your arsenal of radios. For some
 it is the only radio they will use. The SDR radio's capabilities are
 limited only by the imagination of the programmers of the software. I
 picked up a Flex Radio in 2007. The software has vastly improved since then
 and radio's capabilities have increased with each iteration. If you want a
 radio that will evolve over time then an SDR radio is the way to go.
 Good luck and happy new year!

  Subject: [Flexradio] Important Flex SDR Performance Factors
 
  Dear Flex Users Group Members,
 
  I have some Christmas money to invest in my first SDR radio.  I am very
 interested in the hobby aspects of SDR, but I must admit that there is a
 certain appeal to old school knobs.
 
  Therefore, the Elecraft KX3 has a certain appeal, but being a newbie, I
 am not clear if the Flex 1500 or 3000 offer SDR performance advantages that
 are more important considerations.  I do understand both systems use the
 same SDR software from Flex Radio.
 
  What advice do you have for me on the most important factors that I
 should consider in purchasing my first SDR radio?
 
  Thank you,

Re: [Flexradio] Another VAC program

2013-12-24 Thread Neal Campbell

HI Joe

Yes I have testing it out and within what it does, it does well. I think
from a pure engineering perspective, it is as good as VAC. It ultimately is
limited to 2 sound cards (if you pay the donation) where as with VAC you
have no restriction.

I am used to VAC, like its tools like Audio Repeater, so felt it was a nice
alternative that works (so we are not locked into a single supplier) but I
decided to stick with VAC.

GE all,
Ive been working this for a couple days and just about ready to give up.
Last Resort.
I bought a Logitech H600 wireless headset to use on my Dell 3150 laptop.
Station is 5KA running barefoot.
I can run cw and rtty remotely from the living room using the above laptop.
Remote software is teamviewer and remaud. 
I cannot transmit audio(ssb) using the wireless headset. I have gone into
the sound control device on the control panel (win7 64bit) and changed the
default lines to the headset. Then I lose the audio to remaud.  I am missing
a step/switch someplace and I dont know where.
Has anybody used this or similar configuration?
Oh yes, ive remapped the F keys to the numpad and the wav files play
excellent. Was going to use in the contest but afraid if someone ask me a
question where the answer is not prerecorded, Im up the creek without a
canoe much less a paddle.
Any help, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Well said Steve.  I don't think anyone at Flex is paying any attention to
the post any more On 10/18/2013 7:01 PM, Steve Sterling wrote:
 When I set up my Flex on psk31, etc. there was a writeup on the 
 knowledge base or wiki on how to set up for digital modes. Key point 
 was that you left the drive at 100% and LOWERED the VAC to no more 
 than -6db, never as high as 0db. As explained, 0 db on the ALC was 
 where the digital audio chain flat-topped which creates copious 
 amounts of IMD. If you set at 0db ALC, you will distort because it has 
 no more headroom if it goes +0.1db. You won't see it on the screen 
 meter (insufficient significant digits) but others will hear it.

 Also, mic gain, equalizers and other tools in the microphone audio 
 chain are not in the VAC audio chain. Only the limiters and ALC.
 Straight through.

 Oh, one area I also had problem with IMD.  Your psk31 app and the FLEX 
 VAC input should be set at the same bit width and data rate. Otherwise 
 your 3rd party virtual audio cable software must convert from one 
 format to another, introducing distortion, instead of just passing the 
 bit stream unmodified.

 Set up right, Flex radios have a good reputation for being pretty 
 clean in the digital modes.

 Recently, I was working PSK31 on my Flex-1500 with other stations, 
 and someone came on
 my frequency and announced in a not very nice way that was I a lid 
 and splattering all over the band.  I had not had any comments from 
 anyone I had worked before, so I was a little concerned if he was 
 right.  So, I bought the PSKMETER kit and assembled it.  After 
 running it and testing my signal, sure enough, I was splattering 
 quite a bit.  This surprised me as I set my sound levels using the 
 ALC meter was always 0db or less and yielded full output power.

 To better get an idea of what was going on, I setup the SDR 2.6.4 
 two-tone test to output two tones, 31hz apart, like 1000hz and 969hz 
 to simulate the PSK31 signal.  Using PSKMETER and a dummy load to 
 limit stray RF signals, I tested on common PSK frequencies on all 
 the bands.  All tests were done with no VACs enabled, and just using 
 the internal two-tone test so over driving by another software 
 program was eliminated.

 Here's what I found:

 80m Starts over driving above 40% power
 40m Starts over driving above 30% power
 30m Starts over driving above 65% power
 20m Starts over driving above 85% power
 17m Starts over driving above 75% power
 15m No over driving at up to 100% power
 12m No over driving at up to 100% power
 10m Starts over driving above 35% power
 6m  No over driving at up to 100% power

 In all cases, the meter for EQ, Mic, Leveler, Lev Gain, ALC, etc 
 never was any other value than zero.

 I have tried to work with FlexRadio support, and they gave me the 
 run-a-round, saying to try this or thateven to try using the 
 transmit filter to limit the bandwidth I am transmitting to 
 eliminate the splatter.  I would like it if they just admit that the 
 hardware is causing the problem, but I have not received any answer 
 to that question.

 I had the TX/RX board replaced last summer because of an unfortunate 
 lightening strike.  I'm wondering if this board is suspect, but they 
 won't answer.

 Has anyone else seen this issue of over driving on some frequencies 
 with the 1500?

 Lucky for me I use JT65 and JT9 modes most of the time now, and they 
 are far less susceptible to splatter than PSK, and my QSOs seem to 
 bear out that my 5 watt Flex-1500 and SkyWire antenna work pretty 
 well.  I recently made two contacts from Missouri to Western 
 Australia, one on 20 meters and the other on 40 meters, a distance 
 of over 10,000 miles.

I'd like to add myself to the list of happy users of the FlexRadio /

software-related problems with my Flex 5K that Neal was able to cure with
his remote access service, as well as providing good advice on using the

Abrohamnealsoftware.

This has been mentioned before on the list, but it may be useful for new

Re: [Flexradio] 5000A ECOs..?

2013-10-12 Thread Neal Campbell

Jordon,

I do not speak for Flex but I have been hanging around here for a long
time.

Flex does not publicly list the ECOs associated with their equipment. From
observation, they seem to segregate the ECOs between got to recall and
next time the radio is in the shop, apply these fixes.

In the first category, you will see these typically happen around the
first months of general availability. I remember 1 for the 5000 for the
RFPIO board (the board managing the switching for the ports on the back of
the radio) which was needed for dual receiver configurations, and 1 for
the 3000 preamp if memory is correct.

Of the second category, probably the most publicized is the mod for
the 160M Spur problem. I don't play on 160 so I never was moved to
disconnect my radio and ship it to Austin for that but am sure that
when it was in later for firewire chip replacement, it was applied.
You can see on the repair record that they send back with your radio,
what was installed at the factory.

Luckily many people have not had to send their radios back. I am
pretty confident that you don't have a radio with the two problems I
can remember of the recall variety and the others probably are not
noticible in the absense or presense.

 I finally had the time to install, but am having trouble getting the PTT
 function to work.

 I use VSPManager (thanks Steve Nance) as my virtual serial port tool. When
 I set it up, I used virtual ports 9-19 (created by VSPManager) to connect
 to DIRECTLY to the PowerSDR DTR/RTS PTT signalling. The RemAud tool only
 offers DTR/RTS method of PTT. RemAud has no capability of using the Kenwood
 style serial string commands that I use via ddUtil for FLDigi, amp control,
 rotor control, K9DUR's VoiceKeyer, etc.

 Problem: as soon as enable the CAT/PTT function in PowerSDR it throws my
 Flex 5K into transmit. As if it is seeing DTR and RTS always in the
 transmit position, irrespective of what RemAud is setting via DTR or RTS.
 VSPManager shows both apps (PowerSDR and RemAud) successfully connecting to
 their respective ports.

 Has anyone successfully connected the PTT function from RemAud to
 PowerSDR?  Does VSPManager handle DTR/RTS signalling?

You actually have a problem with a driver in your system that is being

 highlighted by the Carbonite software. I would suspect the ethernet driver
 (or worse, wifi). Go to the device manager app in the Control Panel, expand
 the network devices header and tell me what manufacturer is of the network
 device (you can see it merely by the name of the devices in that list).

 Subject: [Flexradio] High DPC running PowerSDR

 Hi,

 I have been having PowerSDR firewire connection hang due to high DPC
 in the
 storport.sys.
 Long story short, it seems like the problem is Carbonite backup
 software
 because when I paused it, the problem went away.

 Has anyone else seen this problem.

 thanks
