Tom, This is probably the best description/explanation that I have received to date. The bottom line is that the SDR-1000 transceiver, PowerSDR Software and M Delta 44 Sound card combo is not an acceptable setup until you add a Mic preamp into the equation. Another sound card solves the

CW ops, give the new w2rf SVN a try!There is significant improvement in full QSK performance. Ed , W2RF, even posted an updated SVN at 5AM Sunday morning. Ed must dream about this stuff. Now with no audio pops or crackles on the TR/RX transition. Can't quite hear between the elements

Big time improvement. And the settings below even work in 192K for me. I'm not a QSK type. The relay chatter is too annoying in contesting or dxing. (amp relays) So I keep my Delay around 150ms At 192K, still a pop or crackle occasionally. I can live with it when the DX station has a big spread

Jim, My use of Behringer as example is just a target of opportunity as they are noted for lowest price. Our US made audio gear that is FCC compliant isn't exactly known for being inexpensive, or even cost efficient. I am sure that a US made product that does the same job as the fifty dollar

Yes, great cw improvement! I would like to see less changes in the GUI between rx to rx and tx to rx. I find this a bit distracting. Perhaps, an option to turn off GUI changes in cw tx? Just leave the GUI as is during tx and toggle the start/stop color only. Thanks, Ed! Mel, k0pfx -

I agree. The button should definitely click in and out. My 5000A power button did hang up at times when I first got it. Loosening the screws holding the front face on and moving it slightly has eliminated the issue. GL 73, Ed WB0VHF At 05:33 AM 5/11/2008, you wrote: Check to see that the

Re: [Flexradio] AGC

2008-05-11 Thread Robert Dennison
Hi Dale, Sorry to take so long getting back.. I also like the AGC-T very much. Here's the problem as I see it. Most modern radios implement AGC as an active feedback control system which maintains signal level at the set point the op picks by juggling AF and RF gain. The operative words are

Re: [Flexradio] AGC

Hi Rob, I made some dynamic range measurements at two AGC-T settings, with the intent of determining to what degree the audio gain compression changes as a function of AGC-T. I used the Elecraft XG2 signal generator which enables switching between 1 uV and 50 uV (~34 dB) With AGC-T = 95: 50

Hi Dennis, I think you may have confused me with one of the other contributors to this thread. I agree with you -- I think the current AGC implementation works very well. I like the ability to be able to apply as much or as little gain compression as is needed. Generally, I don't like a flat
