PowerSDR KE9NS v2.8

Very strange that you can hear signals, but the pan is dead, just in a certain freq range?? Anyway, Sometimes the factory default does not work. You can go into the database folder %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\FlexRadio Systems\PowerSDR v2.8.0\ and remove all 5 database files to guarantee a default...

The only thing I can think of is If your using a TI chip FireWire, try using a VIA chip FireWire its claims to be Win10 or 11 compatible?

Cross your fingers. If it does happen again, try turning off the real-time defender to see that helps or not?

One thing to try would be to disable the Win11 defender real-time protection. See if PowerSDR will run with defender real-time turned off? And make sure Windows core isolation->memory integrity is OFF. (Just remember that the real-time defender will turn back on every time you turn your PC OFF/ON) O...

You can try upping the PFN delay value and see if that helps?

If its just in the 22m band (and your receiving signals), then something in the database got corrupted or Setup->Display (Spectrum Grid and Waterfall) values were accidentally changed. Also you can both Right click and Left click over the "Auto Wtr/Pan Lvl" text you see in the middle just ...

If PowerSDR cannot find at least one Sound Playback and one Sound Recording device available for use, it will crash. I do remember "Remote Desktop" had some quirks related to audio and also multiple monitors (caused issues) Have you downloaded and installed VB-Cable, or voicemeeter Banana,...

As far as I am aware, nobody has created a USB3 to FireWire adapter. I do know they have a USB2 to FireWire device, but its only good for transferring photos across FireWire (DV) Sony cameras. Even though Apple created a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter, they dont make it anymore, so you would need t...

My examples use Voicemeeter Banana. Banana breaks the Virtual cable into 2 separate cables you can view from the SOUND program: Voicemeeter and Voicemeeter AUX The standard Voicemeeter shows up in SOUND as 1 cable called VB-Cable (but its actually 2 cables) When you select VB-Cable in PowerSDR: Wind...

I will take a look

I use Win11 with WSJT-X with no issues for a long time. However, I dont use the new Win11 settings panel for sound. I continue to use the original windows Control Panel->SOUND (I keep a direct link to it on my desktop to save time) Now you can easily check to see the list of playback and recording d...

Glad you got it working!! I was hoping that the Debug screen "EEPROM firmware update" was going to automatically populate the serial# and rev#, but obviously not. My next step was to tell you about the EEPROM.exe, so I am glad you found it (for future reference: The EEPROM download is also...

There is the ATU service manual PDF on my website as well. I have never installed one, so I dont have any experience. NOTE: the Flex-5000 PA board has its own SWR and FWD/REV watt meter. So the SWR may not line up with the ATU SWR meter even when the ATU is calibrated. When your tuning, what does yo...

The debug screen needs to be in focus before you hit the keyboard, otherwise your keystrokes are just going to whatever application is in focus If you do it correctly the button will appear on the debug screen (it just appears in the upper left section of the debug screen). This has nothing to do wi...

Mick Happy New Year! If you go to my webpage and look for the: "Manuals, Repair info, Technical info, Folder locations" section towards the top of the page. Open the section up and scroll down to the Flex-5000 area, and you will see a ATU install guide PDF Now there are 2 ATU units. The PD...

Mark, Go and download the incremental .308 I added an adjustable delay value setpoint. you can up the standard delay value and see if it works for you? I would do this before trying the Legacy drivers. I just tested a setup using a Flex-3000 on a modern Win11 laptop where I run a standard Via FireWi...

If its causing Blue screen crash, its related to FireWire and not the install.
I am assuming your running the latest version of PowerSDR?
You can try running the "legacy" FireWire Drivers.
You can check out the procedure under the FireWire section of my website.

OK. Just for future reference.... One more thing to try on newer Win11 PCs is to turn off the "Memory Integrity" feature of Windows Defender. I did run into a Win11 mini- desktop PC, and PowerSDR would crash with "Memory Integrity" checking enabled. I disabled it (just google for...

Is your computer a Dell XPS 8960? I do see a M.2 wi-fi card on the motherboard. I have a video on running Firewire via M.2. But also as a test, you may want to disable your WiFi or even unplug the M.2 Wi-Fi card. A long time ago I ran FireWire on a laptop with WiFi. The WiFi did not get along well w...

Latency is only related to the Panadapter Freeze issue. So if the Pan is freezing, its usually a hardware or driver issue But not related to a BSOD Since you say your Flex was working on your last PC, I would say its definitely a Motherboard/FireWire compatibility issue. I would have figured that be...
