PowerSDR is still supported. There has been no need for an update is all. It's a mature software package. Steven On Wed, Sep 17, 2014 at 8:09 AM, Stan wa2...@taconic.net wrote: Is PowerSDR no longer upgraded or supported? I have not used my Flex5000 in quite some time and expected to see an

I use my Flex 5000 all the time and am still using 2.6 which works fine. I have downloaded 2.7 but haven't gotten around to installing it. Bill, W3XO -Original Message- From: FlexRadio [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Steven Hess Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2014

Hi Steve, You are right that PowerSDR is a mature package, and I can understand why the primary engineering emphasis would be on SmartSDR. However, there are still a few issues to be addressed. One, primarily for those of us who use it for satellite and/or VHF/UHF Winlink is the ability to

Hi Steve Yes, the current iteration of PowerSDR is mature and a fantastic interface to legacy radio’s. There are no bugs that I have found….HOWEVER… I think there are some features that would be nice to have in PSDR. Not critical, but would be awesome to have. 1. Voice recordings - for personal

John Would ddutil provide an interface for the prerecorded audio from another application? Don't do CW so no help there. 73 de Steven On Wed, Sep 17, 2014 at 11:32 AM, John Kramer jkra...@iafrica.com wrote: Hi Steve Yes, the current iteration of PowerSDR is mature and a fantastic interface

Oh, I forgot to add to the voice recordings. In addition to the quick memory bank, and auto TX/RX of recordings, it would also be good to have a user defined replay facility. So for example choose your CQ recording, and then have it key up on it’s own, play the recording, go to RX, then wait xx

Hi John Have you considered interfacing a contesting program like Writelog or N1MM, etc to your radio? Contesting programs typically include CW/voice (macro) replay, and provide for repetitive voice/CW messages as well. N1MM is free and I think it would work for the playbacks you want.

The voice thing is available-- it is Ray K9DUR's Voice Keyer. No cost. Developed specifically as a PSDR add-on. Modular add-on's instead of built-in apps are usually better in my book because they provide choice of tools, instead of locking in a specific solution. Ray's Voice Keyer, you

as far as bugs I hate the bug where if you take your system down in the wrong order (like turn off the radio before closing the PSDR window) it locks up the PC. PSDR should be robust enough to detect most all common user errors and recover from them gracefully, like any serious

John, For you voice recording issue, take a look at my VoiceKeyer program. It is donationware (free, but donations accepted) you can download it from my website: http://k9dur.rnaconsultingservices.com/voice_keyer.html It gives you as many banks of 10 messages each as you want. The window is

Thanks Ray for that info - I am admittedly a bit techno challenged when it comes to hooking up third party programs to PowerSDR. I haven’t yet tried using DDUtil, although I have owned my three Flex rigs for three years now But guess I should give it a serious try, now that I can see the

I highly endorse Ray's Voicekeyer. I've got it hooked up using Steve's DDutil, which also controls other software and hardware. Side benefits of Voice Keyer are: I don't wake up the house repeating KJ2P or You're 59 in New York into pileups and contests. I compress the heck out of some of my
