[Flexradio] audio punch

I' tweaked my equalizer settings while calling TO5JF (St. Barts). The output of my MFJ DVK was too low compaired to using the Heil ProSet mic. Duh, read the instructions and adjusted output pot to equal ProSet mic. Got the St. Barts 2 calls later. I found just the slightest uptic on 500 2K

It sounds like they changed their interface in the new driver. For now, I would reinstall the older driver. This may be one of those if it ain't broke, don't fix it kind of things. The older driver has served well for some time. I suspect there may be Vista related reasons to upgrade though.

Thanks Eric. I went back to M-Audio 5.10.0.5051 and PowerSDR talks to the SDR-1000 again (SVN 1875). Even though I removed the old driver, the latest control console still starts up along with the previous one. I hate Windows. What would be the latest M-Audio Delta-44 driver that works with

I think this question came up before and if I remember correctly it is because the s-meter reading relates only to the signal strength (average power?) within the filter passband whereas the level shown in the panadapter window is averaged across the entire sampled bandwidth. This is by

[Flexradio] Re discrepancy between meters

The meter indicates the signal level in the selected bandwidth. The panadapter shows the noise within the FFT bins. The later is about 11 Hz for a 48 kHz sample rate. It's not rocket science, but it is real. Change your bandwidth and look at the change in noise amplitude on the

Quite so Jerry, In fact, with my quick check, the difference in signal strength between that measured in the 25hz CW filter and the noise level in the panadapter is in the noise. Had thought perhaps the intent was to use a central FFT bin for the meter. Just for consistency. Thanks for the
