In the past couple of months there have been several DXpeditions that
seem to have put quite an emphasis on RTTY, even to the point that the
chances of working them at all are considerably reduced if one does not

Congrats Larry
I had a real good morning myself.

WOW, I actually could hear them, the Flex put them in the log.
Then a spot for 40 ssb. Even with the wide split I managed to work them

I am trying to integrate MixW, vcom, vac, and the 5000A. So far I can
receive psk and cw and I assume I can also receive rtty. I have

key the 5000.
Never had the problem here Bill. But I am using a parallel cable direct
out of the computer (and toroids all over the place). Had to go to an
Astron 35M power supply. The MFJ Mighty Lite was too lite, dropped down
over a volt on transmit. 35M drops no more than 0.2 volts and no fan
noise.
If you worked me over the weekend on 160 meters during the contest,
you worked a SDR-5000.

a secret little enjoyment out of the fact that I'll be

message, hi hi. I asked him what version of the 5000A firmware I should

What are the benefits of the 5000 over the 1000?
How have your on air experiences differed?

Hi,
I've been trying to set up my SDR-1000 for PSK31 operation using MixW
2.18 and sometimes DigiPan. I am at v1.10.1 of PowerSDR. I had my first
QSO last night (MixW) and received a good report on my signal.
However, I've noticed the following: when I transmit an idle signal
into a dummy
Finally, Larry (Wo0Z) has also seen this behavior with MixW but has not
noticed any effect on his ability to make PSK31 contacts.
Well, I have not measured it as carefully as you have (and I haven't run
RTTY or PSK31 for several months now).
I do notice that PSK31 has more fluxuation than
It would be nice to have separate filter widths for each vfo.
Or does someone have a better way of doing this?
Having separate filters for each VFO in PowerSDR for the SDR-1000 is
an enhancement that I requested a while back.
I looked at the code, and it wouldn't be hard to implement -- But

DownEast Microwave recently moved their physical location

My question is do I set up PowerSDR in DIGL or DIGU? The bigger question
is
what processing does PowerSDR do in these digital modes that is different
from USB or LSB in ver 1.8 (and later versions if different)

Mark NU6X
Intrinsically, it isn't.
It has to do with the way the panadapter works. DIGU will have the
panadapter display going up instead of down and you end up, of course,
listening
All,
As I was [one] of the submitters of the manual notch filter, I have
given some thought on how it can be implemented. Open discussion. I
like to click on a signal to do something with it, and I am dedicated
to the mouse. However, that is not going to work, as clicking on a
signal
I agree a manual notch filter would be useful and would be even better if
you could right click the offending signal when in panadapter display and
have a selection to apply notch filter. Also it should be available in
other
modes as well as CW.
Just some wishful thinking :-)

No disrespect, but how can you tell the difference between an FSK RTTY
signal and AFSK RTTY signal, other than examining or inquiring the method
used to generate the signals? As regards CW vs MCW ... MCW is (at the
receiving end) a signal with a carrier and a keyed audio component; one
does
I don't mean to belabor the point but I am curious what the
'integration'
problem is with AFSK and third party software (I use MixW for the most
part
... but I have tried any number of other programs).
Jim, VE3CI
The issue is who knows or (worse) think they know what about what.
On MixW,
Larry,
I'm not sure a fully understand your post. I have to use the XIT/RIT
in a non standard way to overcome a problem the PowerSDR has with RTTY.
I have no problem with clearing RIT on click tune but PLEASE !!! give me
another way to make PowerSDR compatible with the long accepted

Hi,
My other computer that I used to run PowerSDR before I started using

repairing. There was someone who had dealer for a customized PC at a

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a reflector for the SDR1000
specifically and one for the new 5000...
So that those of us who have no intentions of buying the 5000 for at
least a year or 2 ...don't get inundated with junk mail :)

I hesitate to upgrade to the newest version as I see on the MixW

last stable version may be.
