PowerSDR KE9NS v2.8

This worked!

Many thanks,
Phil

Here's a pic. I've tried changing bands and scanning around within bands, but 'Out of Band' persists. Otherwise all is working well (as usual). Thanks,
Phil

Hello all: Yesterday when I fired up PowerSDR )(with my Flex-1500), it complained that the database was corrupted. I let it load the last good copy, and all seems fine except the band indicator below the VFO frequency always (at least for all bands/freqs I've tried) now indicates "Out of Band&q...

With some more looking, I found this setting in the lower right corner of the 'Spotter' dialog just before 'Your Call Sign'

This should be easy. My PowerSDR database got corrupted and I had to do a factory reset. I then resaved all my custom params, and got everything working again. But, when I run VOACAP the contours are centered at 0,0.

Where do I specify my own location in PowerSDR?

Thanks,
Phil

Darrin:
Excellent: This worked!!

Thanks so much for chasing down the issue and providing this simple work-around!

WSJT-X was indeed set to 57,600, but changing that to match the 19,200 I have in PowerSDR did not solve the problem. I tried restarting PowerSDR and WSJT-X after the change, but got the same results. I'm wondering what's supposed to be happening under the sheets when I initiate a band change from WS...

Darrin: Thanks for this, I have progress to report. As a simple test, your F-command works reliably when sent from Putty to the Hardrock. Moving on to the case of interest with PowerSDR, I had only two CAT entries: WSJT-X as the middle entry on com port 16, and HR50 as the last entry on COM3. When I...

Darrin asks: >>Is your HR-50 polling the com port? I don't know--I had assumed it was using a UART and an ISR, but I really don't know. >>What is the string your trying to use? All the strings that I tried via Putty from the HR-50 Operating Instructions manual seemed to work. For example: HRBN7; cha...

Hello: I recently decided that I wanted to control my HR-50 amplifier band selection over CAT from PowerSDR. Before trying this from PowerSDR, I installed the FTDI drivers on COM3 and verified that I could control the band changes and generally bidirectionally interact w/the HR50 using Putty. Then (...

Hi: I recently upgraded from an aging dual-core Athlon machine on which I could (just barely) run PowerSDR (in the background, with the panadapter off), WSJT-X, and Gridtracker with my Flex-1500. My new Intel NUC8i5BEK runs all these, with the panadapter on, at about 25% CPU load, with no problems s...

Thanks Darrin:
With the Arduino, I can only really monitor/process a single I2C address, so I'm just going to go w/the band ID on 0x46 for now--that's the main capability that I wanted.

Excellent: I tried the 0x46 address and it worked--I see unique arguments come through for all bands. Unfortunately, on this address, I don't seem to get other amplifier control info of interest (e.g. on/off). I'm currently looking into programming the Arduino to respond to multiple I2C addresses, a...

Hello: I built an interface w/an 'ItsyBitsy' Arduino that reads the band data that comes over the FlexWire. My intention was to send that band ID on to an amp via a RS-232 serial CAT command. Unfortunately, I had not realized that the current FlexWire 'band word' globs some bands together (e.g. 15/1...
