As the presenter states, the diversity bit happens in your head. It's a pity the radio is advertised as capable of true diversity when it can't do it. If you want true diversity buy a SDR RSP duo. The meaning of true diversity is: a method of radio reception in which the best signal impulse is automatically selected from among those available.

@@greglyons2402 Sort of. Can you connect hardware directly to the back of the radio to send CAT control to the Radio? Can you do plug and play remote and get it running in 10 minutes without having a Networking degree? Does it have CESSB? Dual Transverter Support with direct integration into SatPC32? Can you run it from a MAC or iPhone? Does it have a GPS build-in for 1/2 hz frequency accuracy? 100 watts out? Can you listen to 160M and 6M at the same time or any place between 50Khz and 54Mhz with up to 8 receivers? Is it built in the US with a 2 year warranty and support from FlexRadio staff? However about a 30 day return policy if you don't like it. NTP Server?

This is a true game changer for amateur radio. Having a GPS built into the radio is huge and having an NTP server built into the radio will solve a lot of timing issues for the digital modes. Will the API be extended to provide Lat/Lon and Grid Square 4/6 information? I can't wait to see the wider receive bandwidth for the digital modes in action. Looking forward to seeing Flex in Marlborough. I know I'll have more questions.
@FlexRadioSystems2 ай бұрын
The commands already exist in the API and apply to all radios running SmartSDR. Here is the API command and the response: c1|sub gps all S4EAD1E55|gps lat=0#lon=0#grid=#altitude=0 m#tracked=0#visible=9#speed=0 kts#freq_error=0#status=Warming Up#time=00:17:44Z#track=0.0 You will need to calculate the grid square using the LAT/LONG values. stevemorse.org/jcal/latlon.php

@bobkozlarekwa2sqq592 ай бұрын
Initially, I used the Rx alignment method you suggested. I had serious concerns about the Q5’s (2m) sensitivity when I wasn’t copying stations that were audible on two other transverters. I decided to measure the sensitivity and saw that marginally copyable signals were showing about S1 on my 6500’s meter. I decided to adjust the Rx gain using a signal input equal to S9. Turning the Q5 on, and off, produced a very slight but noticeable increase in the noise floor. I took my findings to Cory at Q5 to get his opinion. While he said that it wasn’t a very critical adjustment, adjusting to achieve a slight increase in the noise floor is what he suggested. Fast forward to last week I noticed that I’m no longer able to get all segments of the LED indicator to come on. I’m going to use my generator to determine if it’s related to the Q5 or possibly by a diminished drive from my 6500. I need to also measure the RF output from my Q5.

Some time ago you mentioned that the military contracts would have fallout in the consumer product. I suspect that much better processing power is a portion of that - correct? I do realize that newer components is also involved, and I suspect that things such as improved DNR, Controlled Envelope Single Sideband and the like will have improvements forthcoming.

Question: Will there be a way to use multiple samplers with ADP on the 8600? I would like ADP active on HF, but I would also like to use it with my 2m and 432 transverters.
@FlexRadioSystems4 ай бұрын
Good question. This needs to be confirmed, but for a transverter, the radio only knows it as an rf signal at the IF frequency, usually 28Mhz. You should be able to sample the RF at a -60db and feed that back into the radio for an adaptive correction. This is a question that would be best asked in the FlexRadio community as we can that ask someone in the company to respond.

How do you make a recording of the received audio if DAX still outputs mono?
@FlexRadioSystems4 ай бұрын
That is correct. HF communications are in Mono/slice so they are output in Mono via DAX that can easily be recorded with tools such as Audacity or VoiceMeeter. Sorry, I don't understand why it has to be stereo? If with 2 slices, you record each DAX output, one on the L and the other on the R. This can be done today.
@wf2v4 ай бұрын
@@FlexRadioSystems you have to be synchronized in order to perform any operations on the signals. Making two separate recordings will lose sync due to missed samples and other odd events. I have tried this, and it will happen. The only way I have been able to record diversity and stay synchronized is to tell windows the default sound device is “Line 1” then record from Line 1. This is using VAC. To hear what the audio is doing, you need to run an audio repeater piping Line 1 to Speakers.
