Re: [Flexradio] Notch at 2kc Preview 8
You can easily get a notch if you have the RX Equalizer engaged without intending to have it engaged. Click on the equalizer tab and make sure they are NOT checked.

Re: [Flexradio] Unhandled Exceptions after new graphics install
Rod, I have seen this before, but have never been able to tell what causes it.

After upgrading my CPU from an Athlon XP 1800+ to a XP 2600+ I was running v1.4.4 without a problem. I also upgraded from 512 mb of ram to 1024 mb. However, after upgrading to a new video graphics card, I have the following errors on all versions of PowerSDR Console, including 1.3.9, 1.4.3, and 1.4.4 uninstalled and reinstalled. Tried new v1.4.5 preview 8 but got these same unhandled exceptions. My new video card is a VisionTek ATI Radeon 9600XT AGP with 400 MHz internal DAC, 128 MB memory and the latest drivers from 11/22/05 version 8.201.0.0 uninstalled and reinstalled twice for good measure. I do not see where to turn on GLI otr turn off Direct-X. I do not believe that Direct-X has anything to do with my problem...not when trying to run an old version of PowerSDR console. Does anyone have any clues? Last ditch effort next is to take out newvideo card andreinstal old one to see if that will work. Unless that course of action becomes a new unexplained miracle,I am completely unable to use my SDR-1000 now.

[Flexradio] Video Cards ..
It's nice to have friends with spare video cards hanging around! I had a chance over the last couple of days to diss the Intel graphics supreme video adapter, that is part of my motherboard, and try an ATI Radeon 7500 and a GeForce2 MX-400 video card. I judged performance on the CPU utilization. The onboard Intel video adapter uses about 4% of the CPU when using the GDI interface. When going to DirectX the CPU jumps up to about 40% and sometimes as high as 60% utilization. The ATI Radeon 7500 was not very spectacular. I loaded the latest DirectX and the latest drivers (several times) and the GDI utilization was also 4% and the best DirectX performance was about 25%. One would be silly to use DirectX in this setup. The GeForce MX-400 card with 64 meg of memory did work! Direct X performance was at the 3% to 4% level but again it seems silly to layout the bucks for a new video card when so little is gained in performance. Oh by the way, I started getting squirrelly things happening with this card. For instance the panadapter would go to a white background and give me an error. Telling it to continue and deselecting the panadapter and reselecting it fixed it but it happened again when I changed from 160 to 80 meters. UGH! The future may have some enhancements for those using DirectX (I am sure). In the meantime I am going back to my POS video adapter and the GDI interface! Love the POS crap!! Last but not in the least ... thanks Eric for Preview 8! The AGC enhancements are superb. Happy Holidays to all! --Larry W8ER
[Flexradio] DirectX Decision
We (FlexRadio) have made a decision to hold off on DirectX development for the time being. This is in the interest of stabilizing the software with the goal of getting to an official release. We were clearly not ready for the troublesome launch of this complex new feature and will be removing this option until after the official release. Subsequent Beta releases will likely reinstate the DirectX development. In the meantime, we recommend that if you are using Preview 8, that you set the SetupForm - Display - Driver Type to GDI+. This control will be hidden until the next Beta series (likely Beta 1.7.x). Thanks to all of you who provided feedback. It has been and will be useful as we continue development on the DirectX implementation in the future. Eric Wachsmann FlexRadio Systems
Re: [Flexradio] SSB tests
Hi Bob Eric. OK. Here is what I did, just now to verify the reduced power with Preview 8. I was really careful about making sure nothing was different between the two setups. Using a database from Preview 7, I did a Reset All to reset the DB back to defaults. I re-ran the PA calibration. I then deleted the DB for Preview 8 and imported the one from Preview 7 so all the options were exactly the same. No values were changed. I set up an AF single tone generator set for 877 Hz and placed the mic in front of the speaker. Here are the results from Preview 7 ALC = -10.5 dB PowerSDR Forward PWR = 113 watts External Watt meter (not calibrated) = 105 watts Here are the results for Preview 8 ALC = -10.5 dB PowerSDR Forward PWR = 26 watts External Watt meter (not calibrated) = 21 watts This is a significant difference between the two versions. I may have something configured differently in Preview 7 that is not configured in Preview 8, but I can't find it. I appreciate any things to try to see if this truly is a configuration issue. -Tim --- Tim Ellison ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) Integrated Technical Services ( http://www.itsco.com ) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert McGwier Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2005 4:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Biz Subject: [Flexradio] SSB tests Tim and group: Eric and I ran tests.

Re: [Flexradio] Preview 9 and TX on SSB error
Eric, Same here. I was going to run this version without importing a previous database but I could not get the calibration routine to get past 160 meters. I imported the database from preview 8 so I could run more tests. I only get the white screen with the red X in the DigU and DigL modes. In USB LSB the SDR locks up in transmit with no power out and I get the Microsoft error report screen (send/don't send report) as soon as the unit is keyed. The program is frozen and I can't turn off powersdr.exe with task manager. I have to reboot the computer. When the calibration routine fails about 3/4 of the spectrum display disappears.

Re: [Flexradio] Question about Auto Power on
Thanks Eric for your reply. Would be very nice to control the SDR1k via touchscreen so I'll wait and for future power-sdr releases. Leon, I own sdr1k for 6 month now and I never had unwanted keydown or something strange happening. My Pc and sdr are running 24h a day and even when ac-power is lost sometimes (mostly when tinkering on other projects) pc-and sdr-software are starting without any problems. When I put the whole stuff in a box and have all cabels properly fixed I'm on the safe side I think Of course I'll have a eye on it when new beta release is installed. Strange things can happen everywhere and any time even if you have a 10.000$ rig in your shack. I'm not afraid having the radio started automatically. Imagine how boring the(ham's)world would be if we were able to reach perfection!

Power SDR will be in the autostart-folder. Is there a way to start the radio without taking a mouse and click the ON-button ? Maybe I take a Touchscreen LCD but in this case it would be nice to control the frequency by tipping on the screen.

I've had some very strange things happen once in a while. I don't want the rig to turn on after an AC power failure in the middle of the afternoon, assuming your PC comes back up with it. Strange things happen. Rarely, but they do happen and Murphy says it will be at just the wrong moment. I've had the rig go into keydown because the parallel cable worked loose, for instance. I'm currently fighting a Windows bug where it all locks up with the rig in who knows what state. Do you really want the thing to come on like that when you might be out of the shack? Larry WO0Z

The whole sidebands, phase noise, spur issue with DDSes, particularly into a mixer, is pretty complex. There's a good analysis of the DDS spur issue from Martin Pechanec http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/5611/dds.html However, Martin doesn't consider the effects of driving the QSD/QSE, nor the effects of the low pass filter in the SDR1000 (which, being something other than a gaussian, has a non linear phase vs frequency characteristic). With these sorts of detectors/modulators, the timing of the zerocrossings is moderately important. (otherwise, you could just feed the MSB into the logic and be done with it.. leaving aside the DAC and filters). Jim W6RMK

You need to look at the phase noise of your counter and thresholding circuit (for the Johnson counter). Folks designing high performance microwave PLLs obsess about such things, because they're a significant contributor to overall performance. Don't forget that digital circuitry doesn't have non-zero jitter, and picoseconds make a difference. (If you're sampling a 30 MHz signal (period = 33 ns), a timing error of 1 ps is equivalent to an amplitude sampling error of approximately 1E-12/33E-9, or 30 ppm.

Re: [Flexradio] Preview 9 and TX on SSB error
Bob, Me and a couple of other Flex owners have tried to make the processing features work ever since their inclusion. We have tried several versions as the code. Our results have been utter failures. We gave up when setting all of the EQ filters to 0 and activating the EQ gave us wierd unusual sounds, when in fact the activations should have made no perceptable change in the audio at all, receive or transmit. I do not think the processing code has ever worked properly. The radio works great! Using external processing, it is easy to set things up to sound very very nice. When I say external audio processing, all I am talking about is a mic preamp, a 31 band Rane EQ, and a slight amount of compression (3 to 6 db). That's not a lot different than the audio processing that was included in the PowerSDR software! My reason for this post is just to let someone know what I have found, not to be critical of anyone associated with writing the code. I just can't go along with others who seem to think that it's the answer to audio tailoring.

This is not an overnight fix. The IIR filters were right on the hairy edge, barely working right before. Moving from double precision to single pushed it over the edge into instability. I HATE IIR. Okay, sans choice, it will have to be done right.
