Help with DVK

Kevin Stockton

in SmartSDR+

I'm trying to get setup for the ARRL DX SSB contest this coming weekend. I have a Flex 6600 running version 4.1.5. I just paid to use the DVK upgrade in Smart SDR. The .wav files are loaded and playing correctly but after each file is finished, the MOX button is stuck in the on position! I can't get it to turn off except to manually push it. I'm operating remote and will be using VOX. Also, are there CAT commands for the DVK that can be used in N1MM to trigger the DVK messages in N1MM?

Thanks and 73,

Kevin, N5DX

    Hi Kevin,
    check what time is displayed for the file in DVK.
    Once you have edited the files or if you did not release
    the PTT immediately after recording, the playback time
    may be longer than the content.

    If you set an end mark in your Audio software and save the file may be the old length will be retained.
    Only if you save the selected area will the time be shortened.
    At least that's how it works for me. I use Goldwave

    Thanks for the response Klaus.

    The stuck MOX is only occurring on the F2 message on the Flex DVK. I've tried dozens of times playing F1, F3, and F4 and the issue only occurs on the F2 message. I've tried different messages on the F2 and still the MOX sticks. The problem is repeatable.

    I can work around the F2 problem, but I'm really hoping someone can help out with macros to use from N1MM to trigger the Flex DVK to play.

    Hi Kevin,
    have you seen this post from Howard:

    "
    I found that to make the DVK work properly, the VOX must be turned off. I submitted a help desk ticket and received this answer. It sounds like we must be patient while this is corrected.

    Howard,Thank you for using the HelpDesk.  Let's get started addressing your issue.Howard,I spoke to our sustaining engineering team about your issue.  They have determined it is a possible software defect and are scheduling time to investigate it in more detail.This issue has been logged as defect number: SMART-12129Unfortunately, at this time, there are no known workarounds.
    "

    In that case, I would use the audio files from N1MM instead of the DVK from Flex.
