Re: [Flexradio] BIN mode

[Craig Monsen]

Thank you Tim for the suggestions. My problem is not related to having the NR engaged.   Actually, I tracked this problem down to my powered speakers which I normally use to listen to the SDR-1000.   The speakers have a surround sound control. If this control is on, there is an unusual effect on the audio which causes the BIN mode to be louder than the non-BIN mode. There must be some phase differences created by the surround effect that causes cancellation and a relative decrease in volume when this control is on.   This has nothing to do with the sound card, which obviously also has to have its sound effects turned off.   After 29 months of using my SDR-1000, I still have things to learn about the basic set-up of the SDR.   For all the newbies out there, hang in there, don't despair, it only keeps getting better!   73 KC2LFI Craig ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Ellison To: Craig Monsen Cc: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2006 1:29 PM Subject: RE: [Flexradio] BIN mode Craig,   Do you have Noise Reduction engaged at the time you switch to BIN mode?  If so, NR is not available in BIN mode so when you engage BIN with NR enabled, there will be a volume increase.   Otherwise, there is no difference in volume when I switch in and out of BIN mode.   -Tim --- Tim Ellison ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) Integrated Technical Services ( http://www.itsco.com ) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Craig Monsen Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2006 1:10 PM To: FlexRadio Reflector Subject: [Flexradio] BIN mode   Just a basic question regarding the BIN mode:   I have noticed for a long time that the volume of sound increases significantly when I engage the BIN mode, compared to non BIN mode.   Is this because of I and Q imbalances that are reducing volume output in the "regular" mode, or is it because of differences in normalization of the sound output in the two different modes?   I would prefer that the volume of sound be about the same in both modes. I find myself using the BIN mode with weak signals because everything is louder. However, the noise reduction does not work in the BIN mode.   What's going on? Is this just my hardware setup or is this happening for everyone?   73 Craig KC2LFI
