[hpsdr] A new one with OZY-JANUS-SDR1000

[Bill Tracey]

First -- congrats on the new one on the 
OzyJanus-SDR 1000 setup.  Always nice to catch a 
new one, especially with new hardware.  Glad to 
hear Ozy & Janus' DX sniffing capabilities are up to snuff!

Regarding the PTT problem .... did you see any 
such problems before running with Ozy?  I don't 
think Ozy could be using more wires on that 
parallel port than a PC talking to an SDR 1000 
--  so I'd be surprised if the cable was the 
issue if it worked well before the changeover to Ozy for control.

I hate to admit it ... I might be a bit 
suspicious of the FX 2 microcode.  It was written 
by an  FX2 neophyte (me) and I can't say I've 
done an immense amount of testing of the PTT 
transitions with it -- most of the time my radio 
seems to be hooked to a signal generator, so  PTT 
tends to be a lightly used scenario for me of late.

Anyone else seeing PTT problems when using Ozy to control the SDR 1000?

Regards,
