Re: [Flexradio] Sub RX

I like the Sub Rx. The pan sliders are proper Left and Right orientation here. I take the Delta 44 output and feed it into an old high-end Hi-Fi receiver. For dual receive, I can put one pan on Left and the other pan on Right, depending on which speaker is closer to the displayed signal. I ca

Re: [Flexradio] New SDR1000 has arrived

Dave, if you import the database from the previous version, it will remember the PA gain settings last entered. If you install a new version without db import, it will install default values and you can run the PA calibration routine on the Setup with a dummy load. Doesn't take long and I still f

Re: [Flexradio] PC Min

Hi Randy, You have a nice shack photo on QRZ. I am using an AMD Athlon 64, 2 GigaHertz, 512 MBytes RAM, XP Professional and when running PowerSDR it's about 10% CPU utilization as reported on the PowerSDR screen. It works well with Ham Radio Deluxe. The Panadapter is so nice that I usually stee

Re: [Flexradio] No TX

Hello David, I believe the power sensor is on the 100 Watt Power Amplifier board, so if you do not have the PA, it cannot read the sensor. The PA is a nice accessory and I recommend it. The ATU is nice, but for a home station, I would probably get an external ATU so that I could use it with othe

Yep, it was an interesting demonstration on Mythbusters. Too bad Jerry changed it. I'm guessing that it would not have vibrated with just carrier. Mike - AA8K Allen Boehm wrote: > It is not an urban legend. Every thing has a resonate frequency. If you dig > back into the history of Nikolai

Re: [Flexradio] Frequency Calibration on Recent SVN's

I use the Phase 1 display and SAM mode. Use the Freq Cal button to get close. On the Hardware Config tab you can use the up and down on the DDS Clock Offset to jump by tens until you get the pattern to rotate slowly clockwise and counter-clockwise. Then you can type in values in between to get

Re: [Flexradio] FW: 1.6.3 SVN 668 - Includes some great enhancements

I asked for this a year ago. A work-around is to use the Ctrl and up or down arrow to set the frequency to the nearest quantum. You can set that step size with Ctrl and right or left arrow. Be sure to submit an enhancement request for it to the Flex site. Mike - AA8K Gary W Strong wrote: >
