Re: [Flexradio] Mouse wheel/keyboard control for background windows

The HotWheel program was written in anticipation of a next-generation (user-configurable?) console. What I would like to see is a console mode displaying the most essential information in an about 150x100-pixel mini-window. And with an always-on-top option you could have the mini-console floating over the other windows that you're working with. This way you would get actively updated data without using any more screen real estate. Of course, if you have a really big display (or multiple displays), HotWheel might be useful already, because you won't have to be switching the focus between windows. Eric, you recently wrote, when we release the new console, many, perhaps even most users will be happy with it. That's a bold statement considering that you have a tough crowd to please!! Can you disclose any details of the upcoming release? 73, Sami OH2BFO

[Flexradio] Firebox mixer settings
Hi, I am using a Firebox sound system and I am having trouble getting both a decent audio level for my speakers and drive for the PA by changing the settings on the Firebox mixer. It doesn't perform logically as far as I can tell. Can anyone tell me what the Firebox settings should be? Is the ASIO4ALL supposed to be used with the Firebox? Tnx, Chas W1CG
[Flexradio] Weird audio click
For some strange reason on 12 meters and 10 meters when I tune around the band either with the wheel mouse or the Shuttle Pro I get an audible click every time a digit in the readout changes. If I leave spur reduction on I get it every third digit change. Example going grom 28.300 to 28.303 This shows up on the pan adapter screen also as the display jumps. Anyone else seeing this?

[Flexradio] Spurs on 10 meters
While tuning around 10 meters today I came across the worst case of spurs I have ever seen on any radio. From 28.580 to 28.585 is nothing but spurs. Turning off the spur reduction makes it even worse. This 5khz is not usable for me. Its totally destroyed by the spurs. Anyone else seeing this or have I got a problem with this radio. Stan AH6JR
[Flexradio] Feature Request: TX Profiles
I'll just throw this question out and anticipating a specific answer, see if anybody else thinks a feature like this is something that would be useful. First the question: When using the new DigiL and DigiU modes, the TX audio processing is bypassed. Is the TX bandwidth filter bypassed (fixed) or does it use the bandwidth set in the current TX profile? Anticipating that the TX bandwidth is not fixed and can be controlled by a TX Profiles, here is my suggestion. First off, I like the TX profiles. I have read several posts about expanding this feature to include some of the other rig's settings in the TX profiles database and I wanted to add my $0.02 worth. Assuming that when in DigiU or DigiL mode, I am utilizing whatever the current TX profiles bandwidth is, this thought came to mind. I have gone into the database and added several profiles for use with digital modes. Specifically, making the TX bandwidth narrower since I don't really need 3K of bandwidth for a 300 Hz signal when operating in ASFK mode. When using the new DigiU or DigiL mode, the audio routed through VAC bypasses any and all of the TX processing. Currently, Mic Gain is one of the data elements stored in the TX profiles database. BUT, in DigiX mode, the RX and TX gain is set not with the Mic and AF Gain, but with the RX/TX gain setting on the Setup-Audio-VAC tab. There may be times where you want different gain and TX bandwidth settings for feeding different digital mode programs or modes within the same program. Feature Request: Could there be a flag in the TX Profile database that indicates that the TX Profile is a digital mode profile and then have records to set the RX and TX gain like there is for regular modes along with the other TX profile settings? Obviously, if the TX bandwidth is fixed, this is basically a moot point. -Tim --- Tim Ellison mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Integrated Technical Services http://www.itsco.com/ Apex, NC USA 919.674.0044 Ext. 25 / 919.674.0045 (FAX) 919.215.6375 - cell PGP public key available at all public KeyServers

Re: [Flexradio] Feature Request: TX Profiles
Just to add one thing. It looks like the current TX profile does set the TX bandwidth based on some additional on air testing. Creating a 75 Hz TX filter for PSK31 actually improved my IMD based on the readings from the KK7UQ IMD meter and on air testing. So I want to augment my request to be able to store the two VARx RX filter settings in the digital operating profile as well. The fixed filters are not centered in the right place for SSB ASFK digital modes. Using the sliders makes crazy thing happen (but predictable). I have to continually manually enter the bandwidth min and max parameters. As an example, Id like to set a PSK31 Digital operating profile with a 50 Hz wide filter centered at 1500 Hz and a wider 200 Hz wide filter centered at 1500 Hz. Sitting on a frequency calling CQ and use the wider fixed filters for search and pounce operation. For RTTY, I'd need to use RX and TX different filter widths for that digital mode, hence the ability to have multiple digital mode profiles. The functionality is almost there. Just need to modify the TxProfile table in the PowerSDR.mdb a little bit and add the logic to handle the RX VARx filters and VAC RX and TX gain. This would making working digital modes real easy.
