I need some help from you experts. I have been getting excellent audio reports for the last 5 months. My secret there has been if its not broke don't fix it. I really had just stayed with the current version of V1.10.4 on my SDR 1000 using a Delta44 card with a Audio technica AT2020

[Flexradio] Checking Delta44 Sounds Card Voltage

On V1.10.4 and alpha versons how does one go about checking the voltage on the line out? If I go through the routine hitting test shows nothing. It seems like one time in the past I had to go back to a older version to make this work? Scott KQ8RP

I had the same problem. Clean all the cable connectors with deoxidant. I used De-Oxit from Radio Shack. Cleared the problem up for me. Mike NU4Q On Fri, 23 May 2008 07:46:44 -0400 KQ8RP [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I need some help from you experts. I have been getting excellent audio reports

Scott, Then I took a download of beta to get the larger console I moved the database over from the present I was using and started getting reports of a reverb. This is probably the root cause of your issues. One should never move or import a database between major versions of PowerSDR. You

[Flexradio] 6 meters

2008-05-23 Thread Phil LaMarche
I have yet to hear a 6 meter signal. Have the 5 element beam at 85 feet coming in to ant 3 and I've switched the 5000 to ant 3. Monitor all day with nothing heard. Talking to my friends on 75 who work 6, the last 3 days they have been working many stations. Perhaps I'm doing some thing wrong?

Phil, I have worked a few stations on six meters, but the Flex 5000 performance for sensitivity and noise figure on six meters is not up to most other radios. It certainly is inferior to my Yaesu FT-920. The noise figure of the Flex 5000 on six meters is about 15 dB. Most people have added a

The sticky relay on the 5K still happens to me with new firmware, about every 100 transmissions or so (no pattern). It does happen more often when I am using VOX. I do not know if it happens more often on VOX because of the constant send/receive transitions that take place, or the fact

Phil I have a similar problem -- I have heard nothing on 6 meters. I do see a lot of spurs. As a quick test I checked to see if I got local TV channel 2 Video 55.25 Mhz and audio 59.75 -- I received both, but the signal is not as strong as I expected. I'm going to see what the signal strength is

Scott, Another way to do this in the latest software is to use the built in signal generator. Set the mode to Tone and the scale to 1.0. Then put it on output (make sure to disconnect speakers first as it will likely be loud). Eric Wachsmann FlexRadio Systems -Original Message- From:

Dave Just a heads-up. CATV meters typically measure levels expressed in dBmV. (dB referenced to 1 millivolt across 75 ohms). We work with dBmW (dB referenced to 1 milliwat. for us, this parameter is is across 50 ohms. The CATV meter reading will be a lot different. The difference between
