PowerSDR KE9NS v2.8

"Expert Mode". I see it now!
I have not used Expert mode in a long time.

Download .290. That should fix the "Expert Mode" and RX2 issue.

When I set VFOB as TX and hit either TUN or ATU, I have no issues (using ANT1 or ANT3) at all.

So I must not understand what your saying or the settings your using?

Frank, OK. Technically I never tried it on a 1500 or 3000, I assumed it would be the same, but I might be wrong. I have only had fantastic AM audio reports with my setup and my 5000. Note to Everyone: Make sure your using a Mic with a full audio freq range output. The EQ that is built into PowerSDR ...

I looked and I dont have that KB5032007 installed on my Win11 x64 Pro, but I am at ver 21H2 (not 22H2)
I will need to keep that KB in mind.


Thanks

AM mode definitely has a totally different setup from SSB in PowerSDR. I have a great AM setup for TX on my website. Go to ke9ns.com/flexpage.html Click on the "eSSB/AM" link on the left side of the screen. It has all the PowerSDR settings needed for fantastic AM audio. NOTE: Even though I...

Someone also said to make sure control panel Power Options was set to High performance and to set "Core Parking. Meaning that we dont want the OS to shut down CPU's to save on power consumption while running PowerSDR. I believe I put that info on my webpage. I know that some BIOS settings allow...

Yup.. Thanks I seems like the PFN faults started to occur after Microsoft started to make "Security" updates to FireWire drivers. Putting limitations on to the original specs due to security concerns. Newer FireWire chips seem to work better along with making sure you dont have an IRQ conf...

The only way I know of getting a VU5K module, would be to contact Toby (toby@troyradio.net). He is the authorized legacy service center for Flex. BUT at this point in time, I believe he uses the VU5K spares he has for repairing VU5K radios, so I am not sure he would sell you a spare? Also when you g...

I do have photos of the inside of the flex-3000 in the manuals section of my webpage (towards the top of the webpage). The only reason not to stand up the unit would be for proper venting during Transmit. The case has vent holes on the sides, so I think you would want to make sure you dont block the...

The Flex-5000 does not need a sound card at all BUT... PowerSDR needs at least 1 PC Playback device (like Headset or speakers) and 1 Recording device (like a mic). You technically dont need a sound card (if your not going to use VAC1/2), just a USB Headset with mic (i.e. a cheap walmart logitech usb...

I fixed the Center button when using PAN. I also now turn off PAN if you try and Zoom out beyond 0.6x in 192khz sample rate Because the PAN feature use "I.F. shift" to move the bandpass around, IQ VAC will move as you move around. PC programs that use IQ audio need to know the I.F. Shift, ...

The 755 is just a 2 core PC. Definitely not enough power for my version of PowerSDR. Even 4 cores is barely enough. PowerSDR is a 32bit application (there are a few DLLs that I dont have source code for, so we are stuck at 32bit) But its best if you install PowerSDR on a Win10 or Win11 x64 OS (you n...

If the TX EQ is ON when you hit the Voice keyer button, it will turn off during playback, but it automatically turn back on when its done.
There is nothing you need to do.

My original PAN mode has limitations You need to be zoomed out (at least x1) for it to work properly. I have a new version that allows you to go edge to edge of the display at up to 192khz sample rate. go download https://ke9ns.com/PowerSDR_KE9NS_V2.8.0.284_Incremental_Installer.msi I am not totally...

I just make an update to .283 Now the VFO LOCK functions as follows: ZZVL0 = Unlock VFO A and B ZZVL1 = Lock VFO A if you Check Setup->General->Options->VFO Lock A/B, then you get 2 more valid options: ZZVL2 = Lock VFO B ZZVL3 = Lock VFO A and B and I also fixed 2 issues where the non-ham bands were...

Your correct, nothing blocks band change CAT commands during TX. This is the Safety Feature I added to PowerSDR and use: Check Setup->General->Options->Flex Amp PTT control and IIC FlexWire AMP control Check Setup->General->Options->IIC FlexWire AMP ON/OFF 2 new buttons appear just above the STOP/ST...

I have had many people email me about strange behavior and find later its some other PC program sending CAT commands. I have a hidden CAT Command monitor screen (found on the Setup->CAT Control page). Right click over the CAT TCP "ON" checkbox to open the monitor It displays all CAT comman...

If your getting a freeze or hang issue, its related to DPC latency. There is free software to test your computer for DPC latency. Newer computers with more CPU cores or threads usually dont have this issue. (You can search DPC latency on my webpage.) Crashing (PFN crash) is usually related to FireWi...

Never seen that before. My guess is that the socket (Connection) to the particular cluster URL closed on you without you knowing it? But not sure. What is the cluster URL your using? Have you tried a different cluster? Sometimes the cluster can shut down the connection without letting windows know a...

I would go into the database folder: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\FlexRadio Systems\PowerSDR v2.8.0\ and delete all 5 database files with your radios serial# in the file name. Also remove ke9ns8.dat then go into folder: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\FlexRadio Systems\ and remove the ATUdatabase.xml...
