This is how I’ve configured my station for digital modes, specifically using WSJT-X and DXLab’s WinWarbler. I set up virtual COM ports using VSPE, which creates “pairs” of virtual com ports for PowerSDR/OpenHPSDR mRX PS (referred to here as Px), … Continue reading →
During the past month or so I’ve implemented a few more enhancements to PowerSDR-OpenHPSDR mRX PS, summarized below. They were included in release 3.4.3. CTUN mode continues to have quirks but I think it’s operating much better than before. Improved … Continue reading →
You may have noticed that the behavior of the VFO and filters is different with CTUN on vs. CTUN off. The only difference in behavior that should happen is that with CTUN on, the spectrum (panadapter) should stay constant (i.e. … Continue reading →
This describes modifications I’ve made to the Midi2Cat package from Andrew Mansfield, M0YGG, as of this date. They should appear in the next release of OpenSDR/PowerSDR mRX PS (hereafter referred to simply as OpenSDR). They were first applied to version … Continue reading →
Over the past two weeks I’ve had faults occur at seemingly random times that read “50V SUPPLY IDLE CURRENT EXCEED” – flashing and beeping, and preventing the 8000 from starting. Read on in case this happens to you. I hope … Continue reading →
The radio is mostly configured now and I’ve used it in several QSOs, including 38 contacts in the Michigan QSO party last weekend. I’ve receive three unsolicited “good audio” reports – unusual for me. I probably sound better on SSB … Continue reading →
The unit arrived via UPS around 11:30 a.m., 3 April 2017, my having pre-ordered it through GigaParts on 11 November 2016, shortly after it was announced. It was very well packed – double boxed. Good thing since the outer one … Continue reading →
After my ramblings about the code and discovering how to get the PL-1 working, I thought I ought to document some kind of summary. So here it is. Setting up the various controls work as before in Px (see previous … Continue reading →
Here are some comments about the LED lights in the Behringer CMD, PL-1 based on what I’ve learned in the past two weeks or so of playing with the PowerSDR source code to make it work with the PL-1. This … Continue reading →
I modified the code handling messages from the Behringer CMD PL-1 to enable it to separately control VFO A and VFO B, and toggle between the two using one of the other buttons. To set up the two VFOs (two … Continue reading →
