TX EQ not active after TX profile change

Post by W4GON »

Hello all,

I'm noticing a strange behavior on the TX EQ which I would like clarification on. What I'm seeing is that when I switch TX profiles from say my AM to SSB profile, the EQ does not engage. I have to go into the EQ, click on one of the other EQ options via the radio buttons up top and then click back on the configured EQ which I use for the chosen profile. After doing this the EQ engages correctly. I'm wondering if this is expected behavior or if I have something set wrong in the software? I'm running v2.8.0.251 of PowerSDR.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

When it "does not engage", are you saying that the TXEQ button is not RED (ON), but you saved the profile with it ON?
I need to know the exact details in order to try and duplicate the issue.

Hi Darrin,

When I switch between my AM and SSB profile for example, everything shows that the TXEQ is enabled. The TXEQ button is RED in the main screen, in the Equalizer Settings window the TXEQ has a check box on Enabled. The only way that I know that it isn't actually enabled is by listening to my signal on the air. That's how I can tell that I don't have the audio enhancements from the EQ.

Clicking the Enabled checkbox to disable and then enable for the TXEQ in the Equalizer Settings window doesn't help. Neither does clicking the TXEQ button from Red to Black and back to Red. The only thing so far that I have found that gets the EQ working again is to click on one of the other EQ options and then back to the EQ that's configured in the Equalizer Settings window. The second I do that I can hear my audio enhanced again on the air. Restarting the program also corrects it, but that takes too long to do every time I switch profiles.

Thanks
Joel

Usually you just needed to adjust any eq slider and everything would start working.
I thought I fixed that over a long time ago?

I will take a look.

Oh ok, adjusting any eq slider also corrects the issue, I just tested it. So I guess it's the same issue you are referring to.

Thanks

.252 should fix the TX EQ not properly activating upon a profile change.
