[Flexradio] Silly VAC Problem with digimodes

2006-03-01 Thread Ken Chong
Hi again gang, I recently mentioned that I was having problems running DominoEX, and PSK63Srv ( a psk server program based on PSKCORE.DLL) under VAC. The problem was obviously cockpit error at the VAC tab. I tried changing the sampling rate from within VAC itself, and this resulted in my poor

This is completely possible in software and is what I was trying to describe earlier (though I did a poor job). Basically, we can separate the monitor and transmit audio in the DSP and allow the transmit side to be buffered. This will also allow us to transmit at an IF while not losing the

Tim, I like the ideas keep them coming. Let me just throw in there that we intend to have a mode specific control area with the next console. This will allow such things as a Third Party Digital Mode Program Profile combobox (hopefully with a shorter name), and things like the transmit profiles

Dynamic Range looks good, but 2 in/out is a downer. Make sure to use the -10dBv outputs so as not to blow up your transmitter. Does it have ASIO drivers? Eric Wachsmann FlexRadio Systems -Original Message- From: Tim Ellison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006
