PowerSDR KE9NS v2.8

Yesterday, I actually downloaded and installed this software, to see if it would find my FLEX 5000A. It did not, and it asked me to choose what radio I was using by giving me a list of radios. Most of the radios it will work with are ANAN, and a Hermes. There were no FLEX Products on the list, so I ...

It has come to my attention that HPSDR, the group that does the ANAN Open Source Software has come out with their version of Power SDR and it will allow us FLEX Legacy Guys to get both CESSB and Pure Audio! The N9IZ Blog is where I read this, here is an excerpt. The developers at HPSDR are doing a g...

My radio has been working perfectly lately! I did most of the suggestions on your web page. The leveler adjustment gave me more talk power, and I went to the real time setting, but it seemed to have caused crash, so I went back to high. I went up from 48000 to 196000, and it works great, except it s...

Question, what is the current firmware for the Flex 5000, and does the KE9NS software automatically upgrade it for you ?

Update! Power SDR has not crashed, since I unchecked the box that allows Windows to close it. I just sold that External Speaker I bought to a friend, and I am using the external speakers that are hooked to my computer. Of course, that requires VAC1 to be on, but so far, so good! Question ? Would it ...

Did PowerSDR close completely or did the Panadapter freeze?

The program just turned itself off, so I had to re start it

Question ?
What will make Power SDR crash, when you are receiving ?
I was just on 20 meters just listening, and the program stopped, for no reason.
So, I re started, and it did the same thing, a few minutes later,

Yes, my setup includes a 32 inch 4K HDTV, flanked by a pair of Fostex Broadcast Monitors. They are my computer speakers, and I mainly use them for listening to YouTube Music Video's.

I bought a studio monitor to be dedicated the the Flex today! So, I will be turning off VAC1 today! I really like powered studio monitors, especially good ones! A single one of these just hit Facebook Marketplace today, for only 50.00 ! Of course, I jumped on it, since I only need one speaker for th...

I use these broadcast monitor speakers with my computer, to listen to music, so I thought they could do double duty as speakers for the Flex 5000.
However, I am not married to them, and I can easily grab a powered speaker, dedicated to the Flex 5000.

You have VAC1 turned on. You only need VAC1 ON if you use your PC for a Speaker to listen to the Flex or if you use your PC as a MIC for transmitting. OR you want to run a Digital Mode of some kind. So Turn VAC1 OFF and that we free up your PC's default speaker and Mic Darrin I run self powered Fos...

You can see the microphone ICON, in this screenshot.
I have snap on ferrites ordered for the computer cables, and I also have a coax bulkhead that I can mount to my tower, that will allow grounding of the coax shields!

I meant a screenshot of your desktop with PowerSDR up and running and the tray showing the MIC icon. I run a push-button hand switch on the desk and a foot switch on the floor tied in parallel to the RCA PTT on the back of the Flex. Works well. I still put Ferrite on all the cables at the back of t...

OK. I just upped the file size limit to 10mb per image. So try again. Are you using the LINE-IN on the back? What type of Mic? Darrin Yes, with an Alctron PM02 Dynamic Mic, just a cheap dynamic mic, but getting plenty of gain, however, I did by a Behringer Tube Preamp, the Ultragain Mic 2000 I plan...

Ok, here goes for the desktop screenshot picture

Update! I just made a full power (100 watt) contact to Minnesota on 20 meter phone! No RF ! Haven't tried it with the amp yet. I went into the BACK of the Flex 500 with my Mic, but I am still keying the radio from the front connector, LOL

I just tried to reduce the size of my screenshot you asked for. It is already 2mb, and to go any smaller, I can only go down to thumbnail size! The RF is just as bad, maybe worse, on 17 meters! I ordered snap on ferrites for every wire going into computer, and also ordered some copper bus bar straps...

What program is best to do a screen shot of the desktop with ?

I took a screenshot of my desktop, and tried to attach it. It is a PNG file, and it said it is too big to attach on this forum

What program is best to do a screen shot of the desktop with ?

LOL, I just made a contact on 20 meters! The guy was just down in Puerto Rico, had to shut amp off, and reduce power to only 30 watts. But he had a Beam, so we talked for about 20 minutes! I think I am gonna start over, and run a separate wire from radio/amp/tuner/computer to a ground rod. I have br...
