[Flexradio] more on the CW maddening problem

2010-10-01 Thread Pete Parisetti
In follow-up to my lamentations about the CW semi-break in locking up, one additional funny thing: CW via CWX works perfectly fine. It's just the rx/tx switchover with the paddle that causes the problem. Funny, isn'it? -- ___ Pete Parisetti MM0TWX - HB9DSU for music,

2010-10-01 Thread Tim Ellison
It isn't funny because the nature of how the CW signal is generated is different between the CWX and a physical switch (key/paddles). One is purely software derived and the other is interrupt driven from a hardware event. Try this. If you are not using the Win7 1394 Legacy Firewire driver, I

Seriously though.. If done subtle way. A courtesy tone can be helpful. Especially on SSB where the RF stops when you pause in speech, but don't un-key. We already have them coming off repeaters. It actually seems weird when someone shuts off the repeaters beep. From: Edwin

Has anyone tried the Kensington Orbit trackball on your Flex? It has a free turning scrolling wheel around the ball. The model number is K72337US. If this works properly, it would be great for frequency tuning. Joe N9VX ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing

Thank you very much, Tim. I have followed the procedure, unfortunately without results. Don't you think the rx/tx IC could be damaged? I stupidly toasted all the three PA control outputs (before I read the manual, obviously) by connecting directly to a TL-922. Is the break-in part of the same

That's a nice little gadget. Eventually the Flex engineers will have developed PowerSDR so perfectly that they will be sitting around with nothing to do. I'm telling you, that day is coming!! My SDR-1000 is working fine right now using 1.18.3 so that day shouldn't be far away. Then we'll

It is a compound driver; there is a low-level streaming part (the one that had the bug) and an high-level driver that communicates with the hardware. Both are still be worked on and integrated together. Hopefully some of the internal alpha testers will get a crack at it in a week or so.

David, The custom USB driver is fully functional in our lab in 64-bit mode. The DDK vendor promised to send us the 32-bit version next week. We then have to do the full integration into PowerSDR and the installer. Once that has been completed it will go to our alpha testers. If they find no

I only use Antec power supplies (ATX12V). There are others which are very good (Corsair, PC Power Cooling, OCZ) , but I have had great luck with Antec. I usually get ones that have a bit more wattage than I usually require so that they run cooler and that extends their life so in the long run

There are a lot of good ones (Antex, OCZ, etc.) and with PSU's you definitely get what you pay for. If a power supply is cheap, beware period. Especially stuff like the Ultra's that TigerDirect sell. Also avoid Rosewill, I have had an unacceptable number of them fail. You also want one that is 80
