I have been running my Flex-5000A for 3 years and have never experienced this problem. For 2 of those years I operated remote from all around the country. My 5000A was left powered up as I travelled weekly. Never once did it transmit on its own. The fact that this has happened to you even with older versions of PSDR, is pointing to something in your local environment. I would start troubleshooting this problem by running the 5000A in a simple environment with as little external connections, and software, as possible. If it runs OK, add stuff back into the mix until the problem shows up. Of course you could have a hardware problem in the 5000A itself. In that case, the problem will happen even with a simple configuration. Best of luck with your problem. Let us know what you find.

Luckily it was SSB and with no modulation the signal was negligible. In each case, I stopped PowerSDR and shut down the F5K and everything started back up normally. The most recent occurrence was this weekend. Before stopping PSDR I tried everything I could think of to release the PTT. I shut down the only other running program, HRD; unplugged the PTT hand switch; clicked the MOX button. However, the transceiver seemed locked on transmit. Previously this occurred on older versions of PSDR. The most recent occurrence was PSDR version 2.2.3. Flex-5000A, Windows 7 64 bit. The only other programs running were: HRD+logbook and Internet Explorer. PTT COM port is not enabled. Thanks for any insight or suggestions. For now, the F5K will be powered off when I'm not around. This throws a damper on remote operations. 73, Sheldon VE1GPY _______________________________________________ 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.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/ ----- No virus found in this message.
