[Flexradio] missing DLL

2006-09-21 Thread Tom Shikoski
As previously stated, I was not able to make operational ANY versions of the
SDR software as a result of a missing DLL and corrupt MDAC (Microsoft Data
Access Components)element. Thanks to the quick response of Eric #1 and Tim
Ellison, I had many paths to follow to attempt a fix. It seems that as I am
running XP Pro w/ SP2 installed, I was not able to install a new copy of the
MDAC. It kept throwing errors indicating that it could not be installed on
the current version of Windows. I went back to my backups and found the DLL
and attempted to copy it into the Win32 folder, but it would not register!

The Solution was to do a REPAIR INSTALL of Windows after a backup (just to
make sure!) This repair install means of course that you need to reinstall
SP1; SP2; and an additional 46 Security and Critical updates. Phew! I now
know why Linux is my primary OS!

I do believe that Tim Ellison hit upon the proper answer to my problem. It
seems that I had been doing some development work in RUBY and Rails and had
installed MS SQL which seems to have trashed or removed the MDAC. Sooo, if
you encounter this error, save yourself some time and just launch into a
"Repair Install" from your original XP disk.

[Flexradio] missing DLL

2006-09-20 Thread Tom Shikoski
Well, as we are on the subject of missing stuff, I did an install of the
latest SVN to experiment with the dual receive and some of the other neat
new stuff and I am now receiving a message indicating  "The procedure entry
[EMAIL PROTECTED] could not be located in the dynamic link library MSDART.DLL.

 

Thinking the DLL might be corrupted, I did an update on the DLL and
attempted to re register it with regsvr32. No luck. The error message
continues. Clicking "OK" repeats the error message four times after which I
receive a "Fatal Error" message. This Fatal Error message appears as
follows:

 



 

All suggestions regarding how to get me back on the air are appreciated.

[Flexradio] No RF output solved!

2005-05-16 Thread Tom Shikoski








I recently posted that my SDR 1k had lost all output power
in spite or the fact that all other functions “appeared” to be “normal”.

 

I had recently installed the ECO-011 Board stack
modification. The diagram for this ECO shows hex nuts mounted on top of the BPF
circuit board. If you look closely, you will see that three of these brass nuts
mount on the ground plane with no traces in close proximity. However, the
fourth hex nut mounts directly behind the J3 the antenna jack and given the
diameter of the nut will intersect the RF input/output trace on the BPF circuit
board. Removing this nut restored the radio to full output and increased the
receiver sensitivity (which should have been a clue to me in the first place).
The solution for me was to unscrew the mounting stud a bit more and place a
nylon washer under the hex nut. PROBLEM SOLVED!

 

The nylon washer came from my local hobby shop where it is
used as a spacer for the steering mechanism of a radio controlled gas powered
car. (Sorry, I don’t remember the part number).

 

Thanks again to the Team Speak crew and all who offered
suggestions and helped keep me calm during the repair.

 

Gerald, you may consider modifying the ECO-011 PDF diagram
to show this washer.

 

73’s to all

[Flexradio] Loss or Transmit power

2005-05-15 Thread Tom Shikoski








Are there any hardware gurus out there who would be willing 
to assist me in tracking down my loss of output power?

I have had a functioning 1W SDR 1k until I added the
ECO’s # 001 and 011. The receiver operates “normally, but I have
lost output. I have available an o-scope, vtvm, and signal generator. I have
some hardware experience, but not with this radio.

 

Help/suggestions appreciated

 

Tom
