Hi Simon, yesterday I helped a friend to install the software on windows 10 pro, the installation is successful but when I open the software from this error, I am attaching a video. What do you recommend me to do? Thanks

Remote encoder

It’s a USB encoder and works with Icom’s RSBA1 software.  Unfortunately, it’s way overpriced - I the transmit bar which I have not seen on another encoder that’s reasonably priced.

Hi Simon,

I also installed vers 3.2 just now.  Good eyes.  That fixed that in a flash.  Good eyes!

Now I can get back to the VAC issue. HI HI

At least you can celebrate the 4th of July in that you all off-loaded a real problem some 246 years ago.

Thank you Peter and Jim for your comments.

However, the situation seems worse than I thought.  Please look at the attached picture.  You will notice gaps in the waterfall.  When those gaps occur, the spectrum drops down (as in no signal).

However, when using the Elad native software (which I do not like big time), there are no gaps whatsoever.  Other SDRs that I have are not acting up when using their native software.

So it appears that something in SDRC must be acting up.  I really like SDRC so I hope there is some kind of solution to this problem.

I restarted the computer.  This did not fix the issue.  I am not using a VAC.  The audio is going to the computer speakers.

So any ideas as to what else I can check would be most appreciated.


Regards,
George

You should never see underflows or overflows if everything is running smoothly.

2nd - in your previous message, did I really see CW in the BCFM band ???
If that's so, I'd think your radio's front-end is getting overloaded badly !!

Just my 2 cents worth - but hopefully something useful in it.

Thank you Peter and Jim for your comments.

However, the situation seems worse than I thought.  Please look at the attached picture.  You will notice gaps in the waterfall.  When those gaps occur, the spectrum drops down (as in no signal).

However, when using the Elad native software (which I do not like big time), there are no gaps whatsoever.  Other SDRs that I have are not acting up when using their native software.

So it appears that something in SDRC must be acting up.  I really like SDRC so I hope there is some kind of solution to this problem.

I restarted the computer.  This did not fix the issue.  I am not using a VAC.  The audio is going to the computer speakers.

So any ideas as to what else I can check would be most appreciated.


Regards,
George

Hi George,

Looking at your VAC settings, I see both underflows and overflows.
The first thing I would do is reduce Ms per int from 7 to 4 ( maybe 5 )
You should never see underflows or overflows if everything is running smoothly.

2nd - in your previous message, did I really see CW in the BCFM band ???
If that's so, I'd think your radio's front-end is getting overloaded badly !!

Just my 2 cents worth - but hopefully something useful in it.

Cheers,
Pete.

I know nothing about VAC; but, looking at your picture of its settings panel the "Clock corr ratio" value raises the hairs on my neck a little. Is that "100.0000000" as in 100.0000000% or 100.0000000 ppm? The former is good. The latter is very bad.

You might want to adjust the "ATT" setting from off to a higher number. That would mitigate RF overload.

Hello Simon,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I changed the audio out to the Speakers and the problem seemed to clear up.  Of course, I would like to be able to use a VAC, as in the past.  I have attached the control panel display for the VAC.  Any suggestions?

I have tried the three buffering settings Low, Medium, High with no difference.


The stuttering kind of sound is detectable when VAC 8 was chosen.

I have tried the 20 db attenuation with VAC 8 selected, but that made no difference.

Also, the requested screen shot is attached along with the VAC Control Panel picture.

Take care.

Regards,
George

I had this issue before but cannot correct it this time.

Using the subject set up on my Win 10 computer, I am now not receiving audio that sounds good.  What I hear sounds like the audio is being over-driven.  With crackling sounds at times.

What I need is a way to decrease the RF Gain to SDR Console.

Using the Elad native software, the auto sounds fine, as it used to using SDRC.

So what is the secret to cut the RF Gain in SDRC when using the Elad S2?  It must be there somewhere.

Thanks,
George

Thanks Simon, 

I notice the stream buffer watermark control is not enabled. That will be my first try with the timings that are already showing and then go up from there. 

Is the stream buffer (ms) that you are referring to the one that says AUTO? 

I may also try VB cable and see if that works. 

I am running 3 internet rtty decoding feeds to 3 instances of FLDigi. Perhaps that is slowing things down as well. The internet rtty news feeds is discussed at rtty.com.

Enjoy the weekend, Simon. 

One quick question. I like in other sdr packages the ability to have a solid color under the spectrum curve. I cannot do that with SDRC, even having a 1 color pallette. The program still takes the single color and makes a gradient out of it for under the spectrum curve.  Any chance to allow a solid color and maintain the colorful waterfall? 

Regards, 
George

CW skimmer with External Receiver #cw

Cody <kc2lsd@...>
 

I can’t figure out how to get CW skimmer to decode my external Rx . I have SDR console and my 101d working fine together. I even have CW Skimmer’s frequency moving when I move my VFO I downloaded virtual cables. In the Skimmer section of the console I check enable, checked serial port CNCA0. Output device is my Virtual cable. In CW Skimmer for Audio I/O device is my 101d audio, output device is my Virtual cable. Channels Left/Right +i/Q.

Any thoughts?

Thanks 
Cody
