I have no problem with 1.8.0 reaching full power on all bands except 10 meters, where the max is 85 watts.
Make sure you audio connections are making good contact especially on the SDR1K end. -Tim ----- Integrated Technical Services -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Glen Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 4:37 PM To: Flex Radio Posting Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Help with Power Amp Calibration I have also just bought a new SDR-1000 and am having the same problem with power amp calibration. Using a Delta 44 soundcard and Power SDR v1.8.0 the auto calibrate never gets beyond 160 metres as the maximum output is only about 90 watts. I can manually calibrate and get 100 watts on all bands apart from 160 and 10 metres. On 10 metres the maximum power is only 44 watts with a gain setting of 38. However, the gain settings on all bands are much lower than the Flexradio test results supplied with the rig. I have had to set gain on most bands to not much above 38. The highest is 43.2 on 80 metres. However, if I load Power SDR v1.6.3 the auto calibrate works fine and the gain settings are very similar to the Flexradio test results and with 100 watts on all bands. So it looks to me like it is a software bug with Power SDR v1.8.0. If so I wonder why none of the 'old timer' SDR users have noticed it ....or is it just that we newbies have the Flexradio test results in front of us for comparison. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug McCann VA3CR" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flex Radio Posting" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 20, 2007 12:33 AM Subject: [Flexradio] Help with Power Amp Calibration >I just purchased my unit and it was delivered Friday. > > Serial # 0646-0679 > > > > When running the test the following happened: > > > > Test Run 1: > > > > 160 Metres tried 8 times and stopped. > > Message: Calculated gain is invalid... > > > > I checked all the connections and settings which looked OK > > I rebooted PC and Turned off the SDR-1000 > > I turned off the Edirol FA-66 > > > > Test Run 2: > > > > Now it works OK until 15 Meter Ext/Adv SSB > > Indicator shows 70% > > Message: Calculated gain is invalid... > > > > Test Run 3: > > > > Tried again without reboot and > > 160 Metres tried 8 times and stopped. > > Message: Calculated gain is invalid... > > > > Test Run 4: > > > > Now it works OK until 15 Meter Ext/Adv SSB > > Indicator shows 70% > > Message: Calculated gain is invalid... > > > > Every test SWR on external meter is showing 1.1:1 > > Power out on external meter is varying with tests but never exceeding 100 > watts > > > > Doug McCann, VA3CR > > > > -------------- next part -------------- > An HTML attachment was scrubbed... > URL: > http://mail.flex-radio.biz/pipermail/flexradio_flex-radio.biz/attachment s/20070119/ac4af4e0/attachment.html > _______________________________________________ > FlexRadio mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz > Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ > FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ > > FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ > _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/
