Re: [Flexradio] VFO A / VFO B Button
Dave, I do not understand how you ...cannot get...the split down low enough If you are using MultiRX, then there a 4 sliders in a group: 2 horizontal 2 vertical. The horizontal sliders are used to pan the two receive signals between the left right channels. The two vertical sliders are volume controls for the left right channels. When I am trying to contact a DX station working split, I move the top slider (DX) all the way to the left, move the bottom slider (pile-up) all the way to the right. Then I adjust the right slider down to reduce the level of the pile-up receive audio. I can adjust it all the way down to nothing. Of course, you get better separation when using headphones, but it will still work using speakers. If I am using RX2 on my FLEX-5000A, then the operation is similar except I use the RX2 pan volume control sliders. 73, Ray, K9DUR http://k9dur.info ___ 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] VFO A / VFO B Button
A thought-- maybe it is a different user interface paradigm with the Flex as compared to the ICOM that is confusing you. With the Flex/PowerSDR, in single receive mode, what you hear is always in the A VFO window. As Jerry said, click on the AB button to swap the frequencies between the A and B window. It's the same effect as switching between the A and B VFO. There is a reason they do it this way. Because of either MultiRX mode or Receiver 2 if you purchased that option. With MultiRX button clicked, you can hear the audio from both the VFO-A and VFO-B frequencies, as long as they are both in the bandpass. Using the audio pan sliders you can put VFO A on the DX you want to hear, and use VFO B to hear the other hams on the split-- and where you will transmit. It's great working split. You can hear your target DX station, plus see (on the spectrum) and hear on the split where you can find a good place to call. Audio from each VFO in separate ears of the stereo headphones. Adjust the volume of each with the vertical sliders. MultiRX is limited to your passband (not filters) setting. With a 192KHz passband setting, you can split +- 90Khz or so. Works fine in most cases if the split is not too wide. To do very wide splits, like recent DX on 40M where the DX was on 7.041 and was listening on 7.235 (well beyond the +-90Khz bandpass) then you need the 2nd receiver installed. Of course you can always transmit wide splits. All of the above bandpass limitations is talking about receiving splits.

This works great when it works well, but I often find I cannot get the DX up loud enough or the split down low enough, so the split pretty well drowns out the DX in my head -- Dave Gomberg, San Francisco NE5EE Programming since 1961 All addresses, phones, etc. at http://www.wcf.com/ham/info.html - ___ 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/
