[Flexradio] Edirol and Vista

2007-03-01 Thread Andrew Catanzaro
Does anyone know if the Edirol FA-66 runs with Vista? According to the Roland/Edirol website, as of today, the manufacturer has yet to check the FA-66 with Vista. Perhaps the Windows Professional 64-bit XP Edirol drivers will work with Vista? 73, Andy W9NJY

[Flexradio] Preamp issue?

2007-03-01 Thread N1OFZ
Hi all, I've been happily using my SDR-1000 as an IF rig for transverters for a month now. It seemed to be performing fine. This weekend I put up dipoles on 10 and 20m and decided to see how it worked on HF and I was disappointed. I hooked the same antenna to my FT-847 and was hearing

Hi Dana, You did not mention the setting of your RF control. Have you tried that at a high ( 100) setting? On earlier versions of PowerSDR, under the AGC pull-down choose Custom, then on the Set Up menu option, DSP, AGC/ALC, under the AGC column you can increase the Max Gain to as sensitive as

Also, don't trust the S meter on the FT-847. If you have calibrated using a signal of known strength, the SDR-1000 is much more accurate. -Tim Integrated Technical Services www.itsco.com Si fractum non sit, id reficere -Unknown Roman consultant -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

It was set at 100. I've increased it (all the way) to 120 and there is no difference audible or on the meter. On Mar 1, 2007, at 11:13 AM, Mike wrote: You did not mention the setting of your RF control. Have you tried that at a high ( 100) setting?

But Dan's not just comparing S-meter readings. He's talking about being able to hear signals on the FT-847 that he can't hear on the SDR-1000. I have no ax to grind in this, as I have neither rig. 73 Alan NV8A On 03/01/07 12:00 pm Tim Ellison wrote: Also, don't trust the S meter on the

Tim, I don't, but when I have an S3 signal on the FT-847 that I hear clearly and I tune the same freq on the SDR and I hear nothing but static it leads me to believe that the 847 is not too far off. A S5 signal on the 847 is clear as a bell and on the SDR it will be barely copyable.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. A local SDR owner has offered to give me a hand. Hopefully I'll be able to determine quickly if it's a software or hardware issue. I'll report back my finding. I have to say that the SDR community has been the most helpful and supportive group I've

Thanks to everyone that responded. Looks like eBay is a good source for these relays. I found a similar one to the one Mike used with 4 poles and a 28vdc coil. Not the ideal solution, but is cheap enough to suffer through, perhaps.

Steve, Sorry I didn't notice your email earlier. I have relays, all which came from ebay, that range from 6 pole to 20 pole all easily capable of being driven from the UCB. The relays that I use are all 28 volts and work fine as Mike says. The DowKey I have are 6MP-24-L-0001 And the Matrix relays

I aslo have both an SDR-1000 an FT-847, I find exactly the opposite. I can hear signals Q5 on the SDR that are not detectable on the FT-847. A 1uV signal source, such as the Elecraft XG-1 or XG-2, used to check both rigs is the next obvious step. 73, Ray, K9DUR From: Alan NV8A [EMAIL
