I have noticed that there is a loud pop heard in the speakers every time I change bands or use the band stack registers to go to another portion of the same band. It only does it when the relays kick in.
On 160, 80, 60, 30, 17,12 & 6 meters the initial band change results in a relay clack and a loud POP. Changing to different parts of the 160, 80, 60, 30, 17,12 & 6 meter band using the band stack registers does not produce a relay clack and there is no popping noise no mater how many time you change frequencies with the BSR. On 40, 15, & 10 meters the initial band change results in a relay clack and a loud POP. Changing to different parts of the 40, 15, & 10 meter band using the band stack registers does not produce a relay clack BUT there is a audible popping noise, but much quieter that the initial POP no mater how many time you change frequencies with the BSR. If I am changing between the three BSR settings on 20 meters, I observe that the first two band changes I hear the relays clack and hear the load pop. One the third band change, I do not hear a relay clack and the audible pop is much lower in intensity almost like a click rather than a pop. Then the pattern repeats itself if I continue to change band stack register - Pop, Pop Click. This problem is 100% reproducible. This is all observed with version 1.4.5 preview 7. Doing the same test listed above on version 1.4.4, I hear an relay clack when I initially change to a band, but NO popping. Change to different frequencies within the same band using the BSR produces NO popping. This behavior is the same on all bands. Even 20 meters, I do not hear the multiple relay clacks using version 1.4.4 like I do with 1.4.5p7 Configuration: AMD Athlon dual core 4400+ 1 GB RAM Delta 44 Standard SDR1000 configuration without tuner or transverter -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 <<<
