Audio equalizer on RX-B slice?

Member ✭✭
edited May 2020 in FLEX-6000 Signature Series
Using the RX audio equalizer, it will not work on RX B (verified on both Maestro and SSDR 2.60), and it seems to affect RX A if it is shut down and reopened while RX B is active. Only way to re-activate the audio equalizer is to shut down all RX slots and then open RX A again.  I have yet to see it this is also an issue using the TX equalizer.

    An easy work around is to switch mode for example, if on LSB termporarily switch to USB on Slice B  then back to LSB and equalizer will work on Slice B

    Hi Lasse

    When doing this, have you confirmed you are adjusting the ACTIVE slice?  That is different than the slice that has the TX focus.

    Mike, I noticed this on my Maestro, and verified it using SSDR. I guess having only one slice makes it "Active"? As I wrote having ONLY RX B slice running I cannot activate the equalizer. The work-around as stated by Jim works, but it is a work-around :D Using Maestro, enable both A and B slice, invoke equalizer, verify it works on A. Close A, and you only have B audio but equalizer will not operate, unless changing mode.

    Just a short update on my findings... tested Michaels suggestion and use SSDR (remote from the office), i.e. have focus on RX slice B do work, sort of. If I close slice A, only have slice B active, the equalizer does not operate unless do the trick of changing modes.

    Hi Lasse

    I think I heard that if you change modes, the changes do work for the EQ on B.  I haven't had a chance to test it out yet.

    I would call this a s/w bug... even if the workaround do "work".

    Yes, it sounds like a bug, and it has been reported.

    This has been identified as a software defect.
    BTW, it only seems to affect new slices opened on the same panadapter.
    In my testing, slices opened on a different panadapter seem to function properly.

    Hi Flex Community & Support.
    I have a 6600 running v3.1.12 I have this problem where I have noticed Slice B , C, D have a dulled down sound to the receive audio and the RX EQ is not working on SmartSDR & Maestro. I was going to log an incident with the Flex Support help desk tomorrow and thought I would search the Flex community site first to see if other operators are experiencing this same fault and found this post on the same subject.

    Have the Flex developers got to the bottom of this fault, is it hardware or software and what is the permanent fix ?

    As I have only just found this post I have tried switching mode and back again on Slice B and can confirm the audio dullness has cleared and the RX EQ is now working, yet to try other slices on other bands as I had the problem on all Slice's except Slice A on all bands. Is the work around persistent or will you have to do this mode work around every time you active a second to fourth Slice ?

    Thanks, what a great community :-)

    Regards
    Paul M0AIA
