Hi Jim. I am running powersdr 1.18.1 with my 5000a using vista 64 bit - by
and large it is working just fine without any problems. I'm using com0com
and virtual audio cable. It is necessary to disable driver signing as
mentioned in various places but that is a trivial thing. I'm running Ham

One option is to use a foot switch for PTT.

This speaker thread is a difficult one for someone like me whose
interest in electronics started with "Hi Fi" in 1951 to follow. When I
found out that this "thing" called an SDR that I had ordered didn't
have any serious audio capabilities I simply ressurrected an old

Burt,
I thought the same thing, so I tried it, & there is no discernible delay.
I normally use my PC speakers with my FLEX-5000A by connecting a stereo
cable from the PWR SPKR LINE OUT jack on the F5K to the Line In jack on the
PC. Leaving the cable connected, I turned on the VAC Audio Repeater
For anyone having an issue with the FLEX-3000 preamp, please contact
Dudley (supp...@flex-radio.com) so he can run some diagnostic tests to
triage the problem. FYI, he is in an all day meeting today and will not
be answering e-mails until later this evening.

I notice that one of the stated improvements in the current new PSDR 1.18.1 is
called "Frequency Calibration Improvements."
Is there a new procedure or method with PSDR 1.18.1 to calibrate the Flex 5K
frequency accuracy against WWV ?? Or is the Frequency Calibration procedure
the same as list
It is the same frequency calibration process that has always been in PowerSDR
(Setup->General->Calibration) for any radio hardware platform. The algorithm
has been improved significantly to calibrate with WWV.

Hello All,
Grainger Industrial Supply carry several very nice heavy duty foot switches at
reasonable (and unresaonable) prices considering what your getting. Several of
us Flex users in the area use this switch:

The symptom I've experienced with the 3000 is the preamp in the preamp

noise floor was normally s0/1 and signals heard with preamp off - this
