I picked up a Ensemble at a hamfest with no documentation or knowledge of bands it was built for. I loaded a driver and HFSDR . I can get it to receive cw. I noticed that dashfive.com has recently been taken down. It was there day before yesterday. Where is a good place for operating instructions? I also have the Flex software.

The best source of information about your Ensemble RXTX and other recent
Softrock models is Information about older ones
can be found at

www.fivedash.com (not dashfive) does appear to be down at this time. But it
never was the best source for building and operating information; it's
where you went to order the radios.

The Softrock receivers are still excellent performers in 2024 if coupled
with a high quality sound card. The transmitter is a bit more work to get
working well, as you need the ability to monitor your own signal to get the
I/Q levels and phasing right for best opposite sideband rejection.

Thanks! I have a StarTech usb sound card on order. Hopefully I can get it working better. The bands seem to be good one minute and bad the next. I heard a lot of cw the other night. Tonight I have nothing on my regular radio. I guess that's just conditions today.

John,

These pages were started when I was using Softrocks. Other pages cover most Softrock topics.
Operating is basically connecting up and using software.
Robby's pages should give a clue to the bands available, maybe core colour and turns of the LPF.
