A string of 5's would give a duty cycle about 42%. A string of E's would

could be adjusted from 25% to 68%.

I have not fired up the radio in a couple of weeks. I just upgraded all the
TEST files and started SDR 5000. I seem to have lost EVERYTHING! Even the
vCAT and VAC settings are gone. All the memories are gone. The vCAT and VAC
software settings are messed up. The driver settings are messed up.

There is a private repository for it now, the name wll be revealed at

First off, let me reiterate that the TEST SVN is just that. It is a
development TEST environment and as such, the code there is beta at bet but
mostly alpha. One should NEVER use it for production operation of the radio.

In the Flex Driver, have you set the mode to be Safe 1 or Safe 2?

OK. When you bring up PowerSDR, if the FLEX-3000 is not an option, then the
software and the FLEX-3000 are not talking to one another. By default you only
get a FLEX-5000 if it sees a FLEX-5000 or nothing.
What operating system are you using?
