PowerSDR/IF Stage 1.19.0.1 Released

Lee J. Imber (WW2DX)
Hello Elecrafters,

Chad, W1CEG, and Scott WU2X have have just released PowerSDR/IF Stage  
v1.19.0.1. This is the next version released after v0.92. There are  
many changes here, too many to list. They are all documented on the  
release/download page (link below).

However, one thing that isn't documented - there isn't support for LP-
Bridge as it was in v0.92. There are other ways to use LP-Bridge that  
I will let Larry explain and document.

But, out of the box, the new version supports a direct serial  
connection to the K3 which makes the K3 work like it did in version  
0.92, with much better realtime tuning. Also VFOB linking (should)  
work. There is also a direct serial connection option for the TS-940S.  
The Ham Radio Deluxe option still exists.

Well that is it for now, Chad and Scott need a rest now, seriously.  
Full details on this page:

Re: PowerSDR/IF Stage 1.19.0.1 Released

N8LP
There is currently no support for v1.19.0.1 in any LP-Bridge release version. I have been playing with developmental versions of v1.19.0.1 for about a month, but as of yet have not found it to be stable enough to consider a new LP-Bridge release. This is also the case for this v1.19.0.1 release version. Once v1.19.0.1 becomes fully stable and all the required K3 commands are functional, I will release an updated LP-Bridge.

In the meantime, if folks want to play with v1.19.0.1 and see what's new, they will have to do it with a dedicated connection to the K3. Beware, however, that you may very well have crashes and other issues, especially with VFO B. This should be considered beta software, and treated as such. Scott and Chad will need feedback, so it will be good for the brave at heart to try it and file bug report tickets. By the end of the year, this promises to be THE version to use, especially when the upcoming wideband image rejection feature is finalized by FlexRadio.

73,
Larry N8LP

Band changing/mode changing

Merv Schweigert
In reply to this post by Lee J. Imber (WW2DX)
Color me stupid, but I have not come up with a way to change
bands / modes on a band efficiently,  I am sure someone has
or does this all the time,  would appreciate some input.
Read before answering because I do know how to change bands
and modes,  but not in the fashion I would like to.

Example:  single receiver.

VFO A = 14025  Split with VFO B 14027

I wish to go to another DX pileup on SSB

VFO A= 14.195  split with VFO B = 14200

And switch back and forth to monitor/ call either
freq to work the DX.


How can this be done simply to swap between those two modes
and freq sets?
If I use the Band button I can go between bands to monitor
a pile up on another band,  how do you do this on one band?
Also needs to remember the freq you are using,  IE: if you
tuned the split to 14205, and switch to CW, when you come
back to SSB needs to be the last freq you used.

This is easy peaszy on all my other radios using band stacking,
its just a press of the 14mhz band button, once for the CW
and once for SSB, and they remember the last tuned freq.
Seems I am missing something easy here on the K3?
Thanks  73 Merv KH7C

Re: Band changing/mode changing

Merv ....
You didn't say if you are using a PC or not .... With a PC, you can do
this by clicking on DX spots and use a program that recognizes QSX in
the spot.  You might have to put out a spot to get them both on the screen.

Otherwise ..... With no PC, and probably a better way to do it ....
Put VFO A 14025, VFO B 14027, CW, set your filter for each VFO if
needed, SPLIT on and enter that into a memory location with M>V and M1

Then put VFO A 14195, VFO B 14200, SSB, set your filter for each VFO if
needed, SPLIT on and enter that into M2 with M>V

Now V>M M1 and you are on the CW pileup
And V>M M2 and you are on the SSB pileup

But ..... In the heat of switching back and forth you must be VERY
careful to use the V>M button - do not miss and use the V>M button
because you will end up losing one of the memories and have two memories
the same.

There is no safeguard on V>M ..... That is supposedly "on the list" to
have a double tap of the V>M before it writes to the memory location,
but there are too many other things ahead of it, I guess.

I believe you mean, use the M>V and don't push V>M.

Merv . . .

Think the typo-gremlin hit Hank there.  He meant to say . . .

Now M>V M1 and you are on CW pileup
And M>V M2 and you are on the SSB pileup


Likewise the next paragraph should read . . .

" . . . be VERY careful to use the M>V button -- do not miss and use the
V>M button because you will end up losing . . ." etc.

Re: Band changing/mode changing

Merv Schweigert
Yep caught that right off..    I currently have M1 set for CW end of each
band and M2 set for SSB.

I just came up with my own solution I think,
VFO A 14025   VFO B 14027  SPLIT ON  hit V>M3
Hit M>V M2 I go to SSB set freq for
VFO A  14195   VFO B 14205 SPLIT ON hit V>M4

now all I have to do to toggle between pile ups is
hit either M>V  M3 or M4

Just have to remember if I tune either VFO to hit the
appropriate V>M3 or 4 to put the new freq in memory.

That still leaves my M1 set for CW on each band and
M2 set for SSB for each band.  

Lots of button pushing, will help a lot of the double tap
of V>M comes along to prohibit my fat finger errors.

Not to reopen another thread but band stacking would
fix all this button pushing so easy.
Thanks guys  73 Merv KH7C

Yep, I did .... and I proofread it three times, too!

I've coloured my V>M button with a red marker pen.  Far fewer finger
fumbles fankfully.
