Like many, I've been waiting for this update to allow use of the rig on CW. In the interim, I used an external keyer which worked fine. The radio can send CW: it's just that the implementation of the keyer in software wouldn't work for me.
Today, I downloaded the software, restarted the computer (which I often do when installing a new update from anyone), and powered up the hardware. After starting the software, the firmware was updated. Sweet. Hit the START button and the receiver came alive. Hit the TUNE button and got output PLUS a different display than I recall from 2.08. Looks like a carrier with two sidebands. Tried my straight key with CW: no more CW jitter. Tenuously, the paddles were attached, the iambic keyer enabled, and VOILA! Very nice, jitter free, CW. This all took about 14 minutes. Thanks, guys. I can still hear some noise on the first dit but will play with the Blanking setting later. One final question: what is this display that is now shown when keying down? The only reason I want to know is that when sending CW, the left side of the displayed signal is distorted. Listening the signal on another receiver, it sounds fine. I'll do more testing later, but if anyone could shed some light on what I'm seeing, I'd appreciate it. Don't recall seeing anything about in the 2.08 manual so perhaps this is a new feature. 72, Clark WU4B _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz 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.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
