Harold, Your symptoms indicate that the RFI is getting into the PC via the firewire cable, causing the driver to lose communications with the rig. These are the same symptoms I experienced.
I had a stubborn RFI problem on all bands when running my amplifier with my Gap Titan DX antenna, but not with my homebrew off-center fed 160m dipole. Adding multiple ferrite chokes to the firewire cable helped, but did not completely cure the problem. As mentioned by others on this reflector some months ago, I ordered a firewire cable from Granite Digital (http://www.granitedigital.com/firewire1394diagnosticcables.aspx). A 6-ft 6-pin to 6-pin cable is $39.00 and worth every penny. I installed the Granite Digital in place of the cable provided by Flex, and the problem was completely cured with no additional ferrite chokes needed. 73, Ray, K9DUR _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
