Re: PowerSDR problem

What changed between it running and not running? Did it at one point come up successfully? If so try deleting or renaming PowerSDR.mdb and see if that gets it going.

When I start PowerSDR the logo comes up but when it says
it's initializing DSP it hangs and never does anything else.
After initializing the DSP the code initializes the parallel port and then PortAudio -- any chance some other app is using the parallel port?


The PC is a 1.8 Ghz Dell running
Windows ME.
The Flex-Radio guys only claim support for Windows 2000 and Windows XP, so Windows ME is somewhat uncharted territory.

PowerSDR problem

Has anyone else had a problem getting PowerSDR to run? It loaded fine
after I added other software it wanted (like .net framework) but now it
won't run. When I start PowerSDR the logo comes up but when it says
it's initializing DSP it hangs and never does anything else. the PC is
not hung; other applications still work. I have to reboot to clear
PowerSDR's logo from the screen. The PC is a 1.8 Ghz Dell running
Windows ME. I tried both power SDR 1.4.1 and 1.4.4 and then tried new
downloads of each. There must be something missing on my PC but I have
no idea what. My SR40 came in the mail today. Any help or ideas would
be great.

Apparently I introduced

One could probably work around the MDB
incompatibility by renaming your
existing PowerSDR.mdb and then starting up PowerSDR,
and importing the
renamed DB via the config wizard.

Try deleting the database, you will have to re-configure it, but it worked for me this morning CST

OK, it's working. I DID NOT have the "Fixed HW Osc"
box checked with the new "overlay". I thought I had
done that.
I tried that and didn't get the constant dit-dah, but it won't go out of
standby now!

Bill had me delete my PowerSDR.mdb file and restart Power SDR. This
causes it to bring up the wizard again, and after you go through that
everything is ok. Give it a try.
That seems to have been the cause of the problems. It's OK now.

Yes, I was using 1.4.4.

I uninstalled 1.4.4, overwrote again with the new SR40
software. Same problem.

Then I overwrote with the previous SR40 and all is
well again.

Something that at least 3 computers doesn't like about
the new version. I'm using XP with a Dell 2400/2.5g
Pentium and the Creative SB Live card that came with
it selected as Unsupported Card, MME on the Audio tab.

Sorry for doubling up, my client told me the email had not gone through.

At 03:33 PM 9/19/2005, you wrote:

3. Reinstalled the 9/17 and it would not work, I tried steps 2 and 3 several times and got the same result every time.
4. Deleted the database (PowerSDR.mdb), while 9/17 was installed, ran 9/17, it asked for the settings, I entered them, I when in and made some of the changes that installing doesn't set like the audio drivers settings and the SR-40 settings
5. 9/17 works fine now.

There could be something in the database that is different between 8/27 and 9/17

2. Reinstalled the 8/27 version and it would work fine with no changes in settings
3. Reinstalled the 9/17 and it would not work, I tried steps 2 and 3 several times and got the same result every time.
4. Deleted the database (PowerSDR.mdb), while 9/17 was installed, ran 9/17, it asked for the settings, I entered them, I when in and made some of the changes that installing doesn't set like the audio drivers settings and the SR-40 settings
5. 9/17 works fine now.

There could be something in the database that is different between 8/27 and 9/17

I saw you were having trouble with Bill's latest
software so I just
now downloaded it and updated my system to check it
out. It came up
without any problem. I wonder if you have the latest
PowerSDR 1.4.4
installed or if you are using a previous version? It
seems to be
working fine here without a receiver attached.
Remember to select
the "Hardware Oscillator" option under Setup,
SoftRock.

I've posted a few updates to the SoftRock
updates
for PowerSDR. Nothing
major, just some bug fixes. Specifically:

- Fixed problem using an SDR 1000 in fixed freq
mode
- Fixed a potential glitch/hang in level
calibration
with a SoftRock 40
- Fixed smooth panadapter scrolling when in
fixed
freq mode

To get the new code:

Hi Leon,

I have been trying to duplicate some of the problems various people have with Bill's new binary. Here are a couple of things to try.

Be sure to have Disable PTT checked on the General Tab of Setup. On the Setup Audio Tab select Buffer Size as 2048.

His latest code is running well on my 2.2 GHz Dell 2400 machine.

73,
Tony KB9YIG

Re: What iron

I have not received my softrock40 yet, but I have built quite a lot with SMD components.
I use an old Weller TCP 50W . The kind that "clicks".

For IC:s I use the standard "fat" tip. I just solder all the legs with a lot of solder. Almost all of the legs becomes bridged :-). Then I use a solder-wick to suck up all the solder, and suddenly it looks really professional. The capillary force holds the tin under the legs. It works all the time and is easy, even with my fat fingers.

For legless components I use a very sharp tip. I tin one pad (The solder-wick is really useful here too. You only need a minimum of solder) and press the component down with a small screwdriver while I melt the solder. Then it is easy to solder the rest of the pads.

Hi Don,
?
I have built over forty of the various verision of the SoftRock40 and use a little 12 watt Weller Model WM 120 that I bought some months ago at Fry's in Indy.??A toothpick makes a very good tool for positioning the SMT parts while I nail down one pin of an IC or one end of a cap.
?
Good luck with your kit build.

Yes, I was using 1.4.4.

I uninstalled 1.4.4, overwrote again with the new SR40
software. Same problem.

Then I overwrote with the previous SR40 and all is
well again.

Something that at least 3 computers doesn't like about
the new version. I'm using XP with a Dell 2400/2.5g
Pentium and the Creative SB Live card that came with
it selected as Unsupported Card, MME on the Audio tab.

Dan,
??? I have the Weller WESD51 and like it really well. Caught it on sale last year. There are quite a few alternatives out there that are less expensive though. I'm sure you'll be swamped with suggestions just shortly.
