No RF detected

Post by k1dw »

Help this is frustrating...
The software meter does not show power out, it shows zero. But an external power meter indicates power out in proportion to drive setting. (into dummy load ) The ATU does not seem to function. Is there an incorrect "Setup" setting? Or is it an hardware problem in the 3K unit?

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 file

That will force a factory default on everything.
See if it starts to work?

Hi I have to say thanks.
I was getting some RF into the shack and my computer and radio would shut down. the last time the tuner would not tune. the program worked but the radio did nothing. I reinstalled every thing.
So I came here and found this: go into folder: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\FlexRadio Systems\
and remove the ATUdatabase.xml file.

Bingo!!! It fixed it. I was starting to think I was going to send it in for repairs.

Thanks Darrin.made my day. love what you are doing for the old flex.
