The PSDR settings I have work well for me but I am sure more experienced users may have suggestions to improve them. My PSDR settings are further down in this post after I finished everything else. When I finished I went into the PSDR setup and customized it the way I wanted. NOTE: At this point I moved on to configuring all the other programs. Having already installed and configured almost everything once before made it easier since I already had settings that worked. I also use Mini Deluxe to emulate HRD I now use DDUtil since the Mini Deluxe functionality has been included for the HRD Logbook program and DM780 for digital modes.

Then I started on installing and configuring the accessory programs.īecause I had been using the Flex on my development PC I knew what else I would need right away, DDUtil for interfacing most other programs, VAC for routing audio to and from digital mode programs, VSP Manager for the com ports I would need and VoiceKeyer for voice memory keying. I then powered it up just to make sure it was working. You set the buffer and Sample rate in the PSDR configuration, not on this screen.Īfter installation I only did minimal configuration, set buffer size and sample rate and would do the rest later. I set it up with a buffer of 512 and Operation Mode of Normal since I have a fast PC. I initially configured it as recommended in the Flex 3000 installation instructions.

The first thing I did was install the current version of Power SDR (2.4.4). I’ll also describe why I have made certain settings if I feel it is warranted. I will try to keep this document up to date as I make changes.

Nevertheless, it could use an update in the interface department.These are the settings I am using with my original Flex 3000 and now upgraded to 5000 running on Microsoft Windows 7 on an Apple Mac Mini using the Bootcamp partition. The program does not put a strain on the computer’s performance since it does not require many resources in order to work properly, and the response time is good.Īll things considered, JT65-HF is a pretty handy piece of software, suitable to power users which are passionate about amateur radio. It is possible to call or answer a CQ, answer a caller and send a report, change the color map and adjust the brightness, contrast, speed and gain. Change color map, adjust audio gain and so onĪ raw decoder is available, and it possible to view logs in a separate window and clear it with just a click of the button, while the main window displays the current hour and date, enables you to view audio input levels and adjust the digital audio gain. In addition to that, you can add your PTT port and test it, call for a PSK Reporter or RB, add QRG and message definitions to an already existing list, and adjust the color-coded system. Adjust multiple parametersįirst and foremost, at the first launch, you are met with the settings panel, so that you can configure all the options to fit your preferences.Īs a result, you can easily choose the sound input and output device from some drop-down menus, define a callsign, prefix, suffix and grid (4 or 6 characters), enable automatic RX/TX sample rate correction and select location of the RX/TX history file (CSV format). Moreover, there are no Help contents incorporated, which means that only experienced users will be able to find their way around this tool. Completing it brings you to a pretty cluttered interface, seeing that it consists of a menu bar, multiple buttons, several boxes and all kind of information all throughout the main window. You are required to go through a smooth setup process which is over in a jiffy. JT65-HF was built specifically as an amateur radio tool for receiving and transmitting the JT65A protocol, and comes packed with several predefined QRG (frequencies used by ham radio operators) and message definitions.
