[Flexradio] Ham Radio Deluxe on 5000A

I have set up SDR using MixW with no trouble. I like HRD, but I am having troubles setting it up. It works well on recieve, using either the PSK31 within HRD or the DM870 module, but does not connect on transmit. I suspect it is a problem in setting up the proper COM Ports in VCOM. Exactly

[Flexradio] Problem uninstalling VAC demo version

As the VAC website suggested I downloaded the demo version to be sure it would work on my machine. It did, and so I purchased it. But when I tried to uninstall the Demo vesion something went wrong and it did not completely uninstall. I cannot now install the purchased version. Eugene

[Flexradio] MixW Frequency

I am using the 5000A trying out MixW and it seems to be working well. One thing I notice, however, is that the frequency it reports is about 2 kc off. From what I have read I supect it has to do with my particluar soundcard. Since the soundcard in a notebook (I am using the Dell XPS M1730)

[Flexradio] Shuttle Pro 2 Keyboard Shortcuts

Re: [Flexradio] M Delta 44 and Flex 1000

Jim, Good points. At a more basic level, as a new user of a Flex 5000A I have posted a number of queries. In each case I did check the kb and use the kb Search first. But when that fails I will query here and will, if all else fails, call support. I know it is sometimes a boring burden to

Re: [Flexradio] Laptops and Firewire Connections

Larry, I am using a new Dell M1730 XPS notebook running XP Professional (I think Dell still has them with XP). It does have a 4 pin Firewire connector but I find the 6 pin to 4 pin cables work well, as does a 6 pin to 4 pin adapter I got from Radio Shack. It also has a CardBus slot and so I

Re: [Flexradio] Audio

Alan, I use a Heil Pro Set Plus HC4 element and the DX/Contest EQ setting on the console. Stateside stations have told me it sounds great for DX with good punch. And it works. I got Randy V73RY in the Marshall Islands on 20 SSB during his last hour of operation before he left for the mainland.

Re: [Flexradio] Laptop Firewire Cable

Hi Mike, I have used both the adapter and dedicated 6 pin to 4 pin cables. Both work. Yes, I would add RF chokes. RF on that line can cause all sorts of problems. Although my laptop built-in Firewire port worked fairly well, I finally decided to add a new expresscard Belkin Firewire adapter

[Flexradio] Shuttle Pro Programmming

I have found the keymap settings useful for most of the functions I want, but cannot get the AF gain settings (- and +) to work, and do not even find any settings for AGC-T level. Anyone know the keystrokes for tthese functions? Thanks. Pete (k2HGO)

Re: [Flexradio] Shuttle Pro Programmming

Thanks Bret (and Rob as well) for helping me. I was trying to use the keyboard rather than the Numeric keypad. And yes, I would like to see your improved keymap Bret, though at present I have things set the way I want them for a start. Indeed you may want to make it available to everyone.

[Flexradio] Upgrading 5000A Firewire Driver Question

I have been having a great deal of fun just using my 5000A the last few months after getting everything working well with my Notebook Computer. (Incidentally although things work o.k. with the built in Firewire Controller I did finally get a Belkin Expresscard which was well worth it.) But it

Gerald, Great news. I love my 5000A, but especially in today's economy many hams may not be able to afford it. The more hams who can begin to experience the fun of FlexRadio SDR the better we all will be. Just hope you and FlexRadio can find enough good new people or you will loose the 2

Re: [Flexradio] sure can tell more people are using panadaptors

Panadaptors make it easier, but this technique has been used by DXers long before we had panadaptors. As a smsall pistol running barefoot with a wire antenna at 25 feet (a good one, a Carolina Short 40) I rarely call right on top of the last call, but rather off to the side a little. What

Re: [Flexradio] Multiple computers, one 5K

Robert, There is one potential problem with laptops. Some of them have relatively poor Firewire controllers. My Dell XPS M1730 has a decent one, but when I used a long firewire cable (3 meters) I had some instability. When I added a Belkin Expresscard Firewire controller it calmed down

Re: [Flexradio] Thanks for a great year

And thanks to you and everyone else that has contributed to these wonderful rigs and software. I have not had so much fun in ham radio since I was youngster building my own first rigs. As I ended my eham review of the 5000A SDR is the future and it is now here! And it is great fun. May 2009
