I've run it on an ASUS T100 which can be a netbook or tablet, but I haven't found a way to get it to load the drivers and keep them. You have to go through a multistep, arcane process involving two reboots to get Windows 8.1 to allow unsigned drivers, and that works but as soon as you shut

[Flexradio] F5K died mid tranmission

2011-10-02 Thread Kevin Feeney
Was just having a nice chat on 40 meters when in the middle of a transmission PowerSDR crashed with some sort of error. Closed it and tried to restart it, no joy. Rebooted the computer. No joy. The power LED on the F5K is not on, or won't come on when the button is cycled. There is power to

Drax and Brian, I removed power early on in the process and let it sit for a moment, and then again for a half hour. Just grabbed my inline power meter and confirmed power at the radio cable but zero current flowing. Flexed the front power button a number of times including tugging on it in

[Flexradio] Flex 5000 transverter questions

2011-01-24 Thread Kevin Feeney
Along with some of the other posters, I was running an XV-144 2 meter transverter for the contest on the weekend. Mine was running with my 5000a, Windows XP SP3, PowerSDR 2.0.16. It ran pretty well, but I had a couple of issues. The first was that I don't seem to be getting full output out

[Flexradio] Quick help with Flex 5000A and XV-144 transverter?

Trying for a last minute integration of an Elecraft XV-144 2 meter transverter to my Flex 5000 in time for tomorrow's contest. I've got it basically plumbed together but it seems a bit deaf, and I can't get enough drive to get more than 5 watts out of the transverter. I'm sure some folks have

I hadn't used the SDR1000 since I got my F1500, but fired it up today and appear to have the same problem. Oh good,(well, sorta, for me) I was afraid I was the only one. Kinda quiet on this topic till you commented. To me, this sort of feels like a problem with the Local Oscillator, like

Hi, I joined the ranks with an SDR-1000 last winter and was happily running 1.18.6 for months. Then summer came and I got involved in my summer activities and didn't run the system for a few months. As I'm moving back into winter mode, and firing up the shack again, I find my flex doesn't
