Accessories category and then right click on the Command Prompt. When the

I took the advice of a number of Hercules users out there and purchased
one to control my PowerSDR Flex5KA. Unfortunately I can't get it to run. I
downloaded and installed the latest drivers, not trusting that what came
shipped were the latest. I then installed the package, hooked the USB cable

Richard, this actually sounds like a psdr problem, since that .dll is
not associated with the Herc drivers. The pal.dll is a FlexRadio
Systems file, and is not modified by the installation
The Hercules DJ controller is not supported in any official release of
PowerSDR.
You have to used a forked version of PowerSDR called PowerSDR-UI
supported by Tobias DH1TW (http://www.dh1tw.de/powersdr-ui#more-1213)
He has a Yahoo group for support of PowerSDR-UI
Ignore my last post as I figured out what I did wrong. I initially unzipped
the software into the Flex Systems file found in the Roaming folder instead
of the Program Files folder. Of course it didn't work! All is well and I'm
now anxious to set up mapping from the Hercules controller.

Thanks Neal. I was unable to run this procedure on XP Home, as I couldn't
select Run as Admin.
However by opening cmd from the start menu it ran as expected. (Only one
user and it is Admin).
After all the years using and messing with XP, etc, I had never run across
this utility.
Thanks again
Well well you can teach an old dog a new trick!
Thanks

Well, I didn't have such good luck. Windoz xp Pro wants me to insert my
original CDROM. Problem: no got. Xp came installed on my computer. When I
tried backing out of the utility, it got kinda nasty and wouldn't let me do it
without coughing up that missing CD. Finally had to shut off the

And even is you should happen to have the original install disk, Windows

With my 5000A, and using PSDR 2.2.3 I'm having the following difficulty
with AM:
Scenario A
(1) With Drive at 100%, set the AM carrier level in the Setup dialog so
that I see 25 watts output. (no modulation)
(2) Reduce the drive level so that the AM carrier is roughly 10 watts.
(setting up
Hi Jim...I use the AM mode almost daily. I always leave the AM carrier at
100% and set the drive around 10. I am not sure why you would ever run with
the carrier level at anything other than 100%. I drive an Alpha amp and
never have an issue. I have an AM profile so every time I select it the
Hi Harry,
The reason for turning the AM carrier level down instead of the drive is
so that you don't need different drive settings for different modes.
Having said that, though, I'm certainly willing to try something else.
I'll give what you're doing a try and see what it does.
Thanks,
Jim
As it turns out, the problem with the drive starting high and fading
down to the programmed level in AM mode may have to do with the mic and
mic input used.
* If I use a D-104 (with the pre-amp cranked almost off) it exhibits the
issue.
* If I switch to the Heil PR-781 connected to the rear
This is only a wild guess. Not yet having a look at the schematic for
the Flex it sounds like the crystal mic has DC on it and the radio may
be using DC (or capable of very low frequency) coupling. It would be
interesting to put about a 50K resistor across the mic element
internally and see if
Thanks Harry, Dudley, Bill, Dave - everyone that's replied.
I don't know for sure yet, but I think Dave is probably closest. The
D-104 in question is one of the very early amplified ones. It doesn't
have a schematic in the base, but it looks like the audio from the
pre-amp is switched, and
Good point.
I'm only using the preamp in the mic because I have to, unless I cut it
out of there. I could certainly try it on the rear apron and see what
happens, though. I could run the PTT pair over to the rear-panel PTT
jack and the audio in the balanced TRS.
Thanks,
Jim, N7CXI
