[Flexradio] RX only Antenna

2007-02-22 Thread Mark Mumaw
I recently installed the DX engineering receive ONLY 4 square antenna. I want to modify my SDR-1000 to provide a RX only antenna input that is similar to my 9000D. I know I could build some kind of external antenna relay but I'm looking for something a little more fool proof. I will be switching

Jerry, I use both methods (DIGL with and without VAC) depending which computer I wish to decode with. If I use the other computer to decode, I turn off VAC and crank up the mic gain from the other computer. It appears that the mic gain on the PowerSDR 1.6.3 is not functional while in DIGL

I have the same question. I also have been thinking of tuning up my programming skills. (It's been 8 years). I will happily purchase whatever software tools are necessary but if those tools are going to change in the near future then I'll wait. Are we talking months or years? Mark NU6X Sedona,AZ

Mike, Like you I also want to get back to a little programming. I have had many years of COBOL, Assembler, Basic, etc but this will be a whole new game. To the Group, Is PowerSDR written in C, C#, or C++ I qualify for the academic version of VS .net 2003. Does it have everything that I

[Flexradio] RTTY A/B test SDR-1000/7800/9000D

2006-10-14 Thread Mark Mumaw
I have spent the better part of today doing a RTTY A/B test between my 7800, 9000D and SDR-1000(Edirol FA-66). For my test I fed all three radios simultaneously with both an antenna and a signal generator. The signal generator was set at -30 dbm (S9+40) and I would search for weak signals that

Mike, I purchased VAC 4.03 last Friday with no problems. After you pay for it through Regsoft.com you get an email telling you where to download the full version. Make sure you uninstall the demo version and delete the directory before installing the full version. VAC 4.03 seems to work just

[Flexradio] Display Mark Freq. on RTTY

2006-10-05 Thread Mark Mumaw
Is there a way to have the SDR-1000 display the Mark freq instead of the carrier freq. while running RTTY in the DIGL mode? All of my other rigs always display the Mark frequency. This is also a problems with my logging program and the Spot log since the spots are always reporting the Mark

The Dell 8200 uses RAMBUS. I found a dealer on ebay selling used but guaranteed memory for about a third of the price. I might give it a try. There are dealers selling Dell (ie Flex Radio). I have purchased several from Pilgrim Technology. They come with full Dell warranty and service tag. I even

I'm getting ready to purchase the SDR-1000. I have a spare PC to dedicate to it. It is a P4 2.4 GHz (Dell Dimension 8200) with 512MB of RAM. According to the website 512MB is the min. required. Will this machine do an adequate job??? Thanks Mark NU6X -- next part --
