Re: Crystals in Softrock LTE combined kit
The use of subharmonic sampling is not so much to allow the mixer to
operate at a lower rate. The switches in the QSD work reasonably well up to
10 meters, and they are used that way in the Ensemble

Re: softrock40
Thanks everyone for setting me straight on how the receiver uses the supplied crystals. This is something I may have read but didn't really understand.

Re: Low power readings on an Ensemble RXTX,could it be a PTT problem?
Success, installed HDSDR and the ExtIO DLL, set it to transmit with DL6IAKs tone generator and got 8.46 V on the RF probe at the bnc jack. John Stockman, KC2THY

Re: Crystals in Softrock LTE combined kit
Hey Robby,
Sure no problem. I'm sure it could be clearer, but hopefully got the idea of the "sampling" for others to understand.
73 and thanks for all your work !!

Thanks, Mike.

Hi Robby,
That actually has it wrong. The statement:
* The two quadrature signals from the Divider stage are fed into the
mixer stage. The 4.6825 MHz quadrature signals from the divider in

Re: RXTX sparking and arcing (still having waveform issues)
Thank you, I am doing much better now. ?I am still wondering why I cannot get the wave form to come out correctly though.

Re: Low power readings on an Ensemble RXTX,could it be a PTT problem?
I reinstalled the USB driver, CFGSR, and Rocky. I get 0V on R35 with Rocky in transmit mode, but get 13V on R35 when I activate PTT from CFGSR, with Rocky off. Also get a much higher voltage on the

Re: Crystals in Softrock LTE combined kit
On 20m and 30m, the Softrock Lite II uses 1/3 subharmonic sampling. That
means that the final sample rate isn't 14 MHz on 20m, it's 14 divided by 3.
The actual rate with that crystal is 4.6825MHz for

Crystals in Softrock LTE combined kit
I really don't understand what is happening with the crystals for 20 meters operation. I understand that the counter needs a frequency that is four times that of the received signal to produce the two

Re: RXTX sparking and arcing (still having waveform issues)
In order to see sparking/arcing, you need to either have considerable CURRENT flowing or a significant voltage difference between your RXTX and the voltmeter.
What is connected to the RXTX?

You must have an intermittent short circuit on the power line. Probably the 12V line.

Re: Low power readings on an Ensemble RXTX,could it be a PTT problem?
Made sure that Rocky's audio and I/Q were configured correctly and measured transmit and receive voltages on the hairpin of R34. Both were zero, so it looks like the transmit is not being keyed.

Hello Alan,
thanks again,
I have both of them :) - the amplifier wouldn't be problem, but without is
more simple.
