[Flexradio] calibration confusion

2007-07-15 Thread FireBrick
I'm confused on a lot of things. But my question for this morning is? SVN 1328 Do I have to Calibrate Level Cal for each band? and do I have to Cal for different parts of the band i.e. 21025, 21150, 21300 Or is the middle of a band sufficient (no signal generator or other transmitter)

Hi Bill Which calibration are you talking about? I use the XG1 from Elecraft (since I needed it for my K2) and its great for the signal level calibration and really cheap (plus a neat little kit!) Neal Campbell K3NC [EMAIL PROTECTED] telnet to our DX Spotting clusters at: dxc.k3nc.com,

Frank I think the logical argument is/was: You use the sideband appropriate for the band when calling CQ on SSB. If someone replies using CW on the same sideband at least you may hear him and, if you still know Morse, only have to push one button to answer on CW. It is probably less of a deal

IMHO, do NOT do the RX RF LVL Cal using SVN 1328 on an SDR-1000. There appears to be a bug in SVN 1327, that they haven't had a chance to work out yet. To be safe, I reverted back to SVN 1324, and the RX RF LVL Cal was working ok there. The other Cal routines on the SDR-1000 appeared to work

I sold my SDR-1000 this morning and have the 5000 on order. I have been told that Flex has fixed the 6 meter band on the 5000 and it now works like it should both transmit (power) and receive(dead as a post). If this can be confirmed, I'll be able to sell my 746PRO that I use on 62 and order a

Hi Elan, if you or a buddy are members of the ARRL, you can view all their product reviews. The ARRL has thoroughly tested the IC-7800, the FT-2000 and the SDR-1000. I believe the ARRL Laboratory tests will be a much more reliable starting point than any subjective judgment based on a single

I use N1MM. I either use the N1MM band map for SP I use point and click if I use powerSDR, for wide band excursion I just turn off the point n click cursor and use the hand to move up or down the band. To get the hand turn off the cursor with the right mouse and just put the mouse on the

Frank, As to the CW, I agree. I head up one of the two VE teams in our area. More more of our no-code Techs are upgrading to General and then getting on CW. 73, Ray, K9DUR ___ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz

Lee, I use N1MM also. Virtually all of my contesting is SP, it is all SSB (so far). I start out by clicking on the spots on the N1MM band map. When the spots run out, I click on the sigs on the panadapter. 73, Ray, K9DUR ___ FlexRadio mailing
