Ray, Not to question your troubleshooting, however I assume you have pressed the Standby button on the console (upper left) to turn the console/rig on? What you describe sounds just how the rig would behave if it were still in Standby mode. The switch on the box _and_ the button on the console

[Flexradio] Delta 44 Audio settings in general

2006-05-24 Thread Brian Sherrod
I wonder if someone can help me out on some audio issues... Reading back over the Delta 44 Quick Start Guide, it states to adjust the mic gain using the ALC meter during transmit and adjust until the peaks just reach 0db. It further says to make certain the compressor is NOT turned on (and I

[Flexradio] Henry 3K Classic SDR-1000

2006-05-19 Thread Brian Sherrod
I just hooked up my SDR to my Henry 3K Classic. I used pin 7 and pin 15 (grnd) on the X2 connector to cause the relay to go to ground, however something is wrong. If I use my ohmmeter between 7 and 15 without being keyed, I am seeing about 40 ohms, and when I key the SDR, it does not change. I

Thanks to both Larry's. That answers my questions. I see where the current requirement of certain relays could be a problem, however a secondary relay system could be used to key the one requiring the higher current I suppose. Come to think of it, I am sure my old Dow key relay is a 110vac

[Flexradio] Mic Pre?

2006-04-16 Thread Brian Sherrod
I know I read somewhere that someone did some rather extensive testing on the audio input for the SDR-1000, and found that a low noise mic pre ahead of the box was better than cranking up the gain on the console. This makes sense to me as I've found the same in the past using analog type
