Good point. I'm only using the preamp in the mic because I have to, unless I cut it out of there. I could certainly try it on the rear apron and see what happens, though. I could run the PTT pair over to the rear-panel PTT jack and the audio in the balanced TRS. Thanks, Jim, N7CXI On 1/1/20

Thanks Harry, Dudley, Bill, Dave - everyone that's replied. I don't know for sure yet, but I think Dave is probably closest. The D-104 in question is one of the very early amplified ones. It doesn't have a schematic in the base, but it looks like the audio from the pre-amp is switched, and the

This is only a wild guess. Not yet having a look at the schematic for the Flex it sounds like the crystal mic has DC on it and the radio may be using DC (or capable of very low frequency) coupling. It would be interesting to put about a 50K resistor across the mic element internally and see if t

As it turns out, the problem with the drive starting high and "fading" down to the programmed level in AM mode may have to do with the mic and mic input used. * If I use a D-104 (with the pre-amp cranked almost off) it exhibits the issue. * If I switch to the Heil PR-781 connected to the rea

Hi Harry, The reason for turning the AM carrier level down instead of the drive is so that you don't need different drive settings for different modes. Having said that, though, I'm certainly willing to try something else. I'll give what you're doing a try and see what it does. Thanks, Jim N

Hi Jim...I use the AM mode almost daily. I always leave the AM carrier at 100% and set the drive around 10. I am not sure why you would ever run with the carrier level at anything other than 100%. I drive an Alpha amp and never have an issue. I have an AM profile so every time I select it the d

Ignore my last post as I figured out what I did wrong. I initially unzipped the software into the Flex Systems file found in the Roaming folder instead of the Program Files folder. Of course it didn't work! All is well and I'm now anxious to set up mapping from the Hercules controller. Rick W2JAZ _

The Hercules DJ controller is not supported in any official release of PowerSDR. You have to used a "forked" version of PowerSDR called PowerSDR-UI supported by Tobias DH1TW (http://www.dh1tw.de/powersdr-ui#more-1213) He has a Yahoo group for support of PowerSDR-UI http://groups.yahoo.com/gr
