Dudley,

I cant get to first base with Flex 1500 and PowerSDR v2.4.4. Computer NUC5i 1.6ghz, 8 gig mem

Under settings in WSJT under radio I select Flex Power SDR. Under com ports I get a list of about 11 com ports and one that says USB options. I tried everyone and with each I get a pop up box that says Rig failure. Under audio I can select the VAC and receive and decode. ft8.

@Roger Rockwell/na4rr PowerSDR v2.4.4 is VERY old. The last version FlexRadio published was v2.7.2 almost 7 years ago.

I recommend using KE9NS PowerSDR v2.8.0

Roger Rockwell/na4rr

Same thing with ke9ns sdr v2.08.

I think this radio is playing games with me. I have had this problem for the last month (since I had to send 6700 back for repair.) Just tried ke9ns v2.8.0 and all is working. I'm getting dx qso's on 20m . Now I have to figure out how to set the correct levels so I don't over drive. I love the squelch. Its great for monitoring call freq on 6m

ke9ns works just fine. The PowerSDR v1.18.6 from flex does not. I have I have done and uninstall and re-down loaded the program from the flex site. When I try to run it It says Initializing Hardware then after about 5 sec ask if I want to go to demo mode. If not check that unit has power and FireWire connections. Of course I'm not using firewire I am connected via USB

@Roger Rockwell/na4rr Make sure you are not connecting it to a USB3 port. It works best using a USB2 port. In some newer PCs where the USB hardware is virtualized, the port can't stream data properly. I know of some folks that had to get a USB2 PCIe add-on card and that worked where the integrated USB ports did not.

Roger,

You are running a 1500? In that case, FireWire Driver is not needed. If KE9NS 2.8 is working stick with that, I don’t think the early version 1.8 will work the1500, the issue going back in PowerSDR versions is that you would need to downgrade the radio firmware to make those versions work.

Drop me a note with your phone number, I’ll call you direct if you have not figured it out .

73,

Dudley, WA5QPZ

OK Dudley thanks for the reply. ke9ns is working so will stick with that til my 6700 gets back from repair. The 1500 is great in every other way. I going to put it up for sale. Thanks again.
