Message-ID: <5f9bdd54-b2fd-55aa-488b-54251228f6cc@townisp.com> I was surprised recently to notice that PowerSDR mRX has the 630m band marked as an Amateur band (red band edge markers, etc.). I ran a quick TX test into a dummy load and did see my watt meter needle move ever so slightly. Of course this was with Penelope driving my Munin 100W amp so can't be attributed to Penelope alone :) However, I guess this indicates that some small amount of RF is being generated at that frequency. What are the performance expectations of the Atlas based hardware (or other HPSDR-derived hardware) in terms of TX and RX for this band? Are there any practical mods that can be made (to Penelope and/or Mercury in my specific case) to optimize support for this band?

Since almost 40 years my friend Helge O. Granberg (Motorola principal staff engineer) recommended to the designers that the primary impedance at low cut-off should be at least 3 times the load impedance or 2 pi Lp Fmin > 3 R With R=50 ohms, Fmin=500 kHz: Lp = 47,8 ?H It?s correct that you can multiply the L by factor 6-7 when moving from type 61 to type 43 of the core material. But it?s not trivial to employ such transformer now over 7 octaves instead of the current 5 octaves. New compensation efforts on the upper cut-off will probably be necessary, thus I would suggest a tailored amp for 470 kHz. 73, Helmut, DC6NY Von: Hpsdr [mailto:hpsdr-bounces at lists.openhpsdr.org] Im Auftrag von FRANCIS CARCIA Gesendet: Dienstag, 6.

That is plenty of inductance for 500kHz.. I agree trying to extend the range is a problem with leakage inductance. I suspect the present output core reactance looking at AN749 is a bit low for 160m. I bet the primary inductance is under 1uH for type 61 material.I'm not a fan of flux transformers in BB amplifiers TLT works better. I also don't like transformers having unbalanced DC forcing them to be large.I like the old Phillips applications for TLT transformers.?Send me your home email address and I'll send you some good material.?Helge's book is a good read.Frank -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I've configured the matrix in PowerSDR with the desired pin-to-band settings; the settings for RX and TX are identical. On my external LPF hardware I have an indication via an LED of which bank of filters is selected. For RX all looks well - the correct LED lights up as I change bands via PowerSDR so this suggests the J6 pin utilization is correct and my wiring from Penelope outward is OK. When in TX mode (either via the Tune button or via the MOX button) none of the LEDs are lit so I end up with no filter selected. I've measured the voltage at the various pins (the relays on the LPF board are driven by 12V) and for a given pin, when not enabled, I see 12V and when enabled (in RX mode), I see approx 9V. For the same pin in TX mode the voltage does not change and remains at 12V suggesting the pin is not being enabled by the software perhaps. Note: 1) the LPF does not know or care if the mode is RX or TX so there is nothing else at play on that hardware that might be different in TX mode. 2) Since this is an LPF that is only in use during TX, I don't really need to select a given filter on RX but obviously need this selection to be made on TX. Has anyone got experience using the J6 pins on TX and can confirm they work and agree with the settings in PowerSDR? On looking at the Penelope documentation I noted that there does not appear to be any restriction on using the pins for both TX and RX - it just says to check the boxes in both parts of the matrix.

I figured that whether it is Phil or someone else who knows that section of the code, that person would be monitoring this list. I have used Kiss Konsole as the basis for some homebrew software that I've been using / playing with over the past couple of years. Over the past day I was comparing the filters included in this software and I discovered that the WELCH_WINDOW type of filter doesn't work. I believe this is because of a typo. The code in Kiss Konsole's FilterDesigner.cs for this filter (around line 146) reads: case WindowType_e.WELCH_WINDOW: for (i = 0, j = size - 1; i <= midn; i++, j--) window[j] = (window[i] = 1.0F - (float)Math.Sqrt((float) (i - midm1) / (float) midp1)); I believe that it should read: case WindowType_e.WELCH_WINDOW: for (i = 0, j = size - 1; i <= midn; i++, j--) window[j] = (window[i] = 1.0F - (float)Math.Pow((float) (i - midm1) / (float) midp1),2)); After I made this change, the Welch window appears to work OK. I am certainly not a DSP expert, so I could be wrong. The reference for my suggested change is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_function#Welch_window Comments appreciated. 73, Roger Rehr W3SZ From phil at pharman.org Fri Dec 23 18:48:23 2016 From: phil at pharman.org (Phil Harman) Date: Sat, 24 Dec 2016 10:48:23 +0800 Subject: [hpsdr] Penelope J6 Open Collectors on TX In-Reply-To: <4c4199ad-958b-4889-9c64-c1d4ef15f27e@townisp.com> References: <4c4199ad-958b-4889-9c64-c1d4ef15f27e@townisp.com> Message-ID: <880C121DB0044C27AA3E004DCD09EB37@ShackPC2> Hi Pete, I can confirm that the J6 Open Collector outputs do work on Tx.

Your proposed change looks very appropriate and correct. To be clear: this is in SharpDSP, a DLL that KISS Konsole uses to access DTTSP.dll. I will make this change to the SharpDSP portion of the KISS Konsole solution. At this point, I won't issue a new KK exe or setup. But I will update the codebase. In the near future, I'm pretty sure that there will be a newer version of KK, based on Phil's latest work with the new protocol. Phil uses KK to make the development and testing of the new protocol easier for him. 73, George K9TRV -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The following may be stating the obvious, but sometimes we overlook the obvious, so here it is! Note that the pins on J6 go towards ground when activated, so these need to be connected to the ground side of your relays, there needs to be +12 V on the other pin of all your relays for this function to operate. Also, the ?External Control? (button on v3.3.9) must be selected to activate or set up the OC feature. 73, Luke VK3HJ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I think everything is OK from the config in PowerSDR all the way to the LPF board in question - the OC outputs work just fine in RX mode - it's only the TX config that seems to be ignored. I ran another test yesterday with 12V going to the LPF and the OC signals coming from Penelope - nothing else in the amp was in the picture. In this mode, the band selection in RX was fine - I can hear the selected relay bank click when I change bands. As soon as I hit MOX or Tune in PowerSDR, I hear the relay click again as the relay for the selected band turns OFF. Go back to RX and it clicks again, back to selected again. So everything points to the OC pins for TX not being used at all despite having the same pin mapping in the matrix. I'll try Phil's suggestion and do an upgrade of PowerSDR and a full database reset. Merry Christmas to all on the list and thanks to all the developers for their hard work - much appreciated! 73, Pete, N3EVL On 12/24/2016 5:46 AM, List Mail wrote: > I have used the Open Collectors to control relays to select the LPF on > my external PA right from the start, and it has worked as expected > right through all the versions of PSDR over the past several years. > The following may be stating the obvious, but sometimes we overlook > the obvious, so here it is! > Note that the pins on J6 go towards ground when activated, so these > need to be connected to the ground side of your relays, there needs to > be +12 V on the other pin of all your relays for this function to > operate.

I've made some major updates to my piHPSDR controller build page, which you can find here: http://wu2o.dyndns.org/wu2o_pi_4.html Or by following the link at the bottom of my qrz.com page. If it loads the same old thing that you've seen before, be sure to "shift reload" or whatever key combination makes your browser reload the page from the server and not your locally cached copy of the file (or delete your temporary internet files). The new page now details the addition of local audio capabilities (built in speakes, audio amplifier, etc.), some lessons learned, and the latest plans for the future. By the way, if you've built a controller based on my mechanical design, I'd love to receive a photo from you that I could add to my web page showing your work. I know that some people have used slightly different arrangements of the knobs, etc, and it would be great to show other ideas on control placement within the context of the basic layout.

Scott *** Or the CW Transmit control. I also have dysfunctional Rx2. It always replicates the frequency range of Rx1. I have done the database reset and reload of PowerSDR, but the best I get is Rx2 working as it should for a few minutes, then it reverts to replicating Rx1. This is not of any inconvenience to me, as I haven?t felt the need to monitor 2 (or more) bands simultaneously. I don?t want to mess with it without clear direction, as PowerSDR v3.3.9 is otherwise stable. PureSignal is not of interest to me as I run CW about 85% of the time. There are many corners of operating. 73, Luke VK3HJ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Looking at the fourier transform, this should be an ideal function, isn`t it? Dolph-Chebysev windows have equiripple for the prototype function. After they are applied to weight a filter's input, the resultant filter is no longer equiripple. I.e., the window itself is equiripple, the resultant filter is not. To get an equiripple FIR filter, you will need to use something like the Remez Exchange algorithm to design the filter. I do not know of a simple window that will result in an equiripple filter. Dolph-Chebysev was quite popular in the analog days. Once digital filters, specifically FIRs, became practical, they fell to disuse. I had used Dolph-Chebysev even up to the late 1970s together with FIRs. 73 es Happy New Year Chen, W7AY From dc6ny at gmx.de Wed Dec 28 09:21:28 2016 From: dc6ny at gmx.de (Helmut) Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2016 18:21:28 +0100 Subject: [hpsdr] WELCH_WINDOW in Kiss Konsole In-Reply-To: <22bdd1ab-2a06-060f-264e-27601499d9e6@t-online.de> References: <22bdd1ab-2a06-060f-264e-27601499d9e6@t-online.de> Message-ID: <001201d2612e$dee25350$9ca6f9f0$@de> Hi Georg, why do you think, that the Dolph-Chebyshev window would be an ideal window function?

I've made some major updates to my piHPSDR controller build page, which you can find here: http://wu2o.dyndns.org/wu2o_pi_4.html Or by following the link at the bottom of my qrz.com page. If it loads the same old thing that you've seen before, be sure to "shift reload" or whatever key combination makes your browser reload the page from the server and not your locally cached copy of the file (or delete your temporary internet files). The new page now details the addition of local audio capabilities (built in speakes, audio amplifier, etc.), some lessons learned, and the latest plans for the future. By the way, if you've built a controller based on my mechanical design, I'd love to receive a photo from you that I could add to my web page showing your work. I know that some people have used slightly different arrangements of the knobs, etc, and it would be great to show other ideas on control placement within the context of the basic layout.

Here are the sketches and drawings I made: http://www.qsl.net/d/dl2kp/hpsdr_hpmp_drawings And finally, some of my tools like small clock_lathe and my X3-milling machine, which I converted to a CNC-tool: http://www.qsl.net/d/dl2kp/hpsdr_hpmp_cnc_lathe. I started in 2013 with my first version completely without any cnc support. This should have been a gold plated key. But the company which I asked for gilding ruined my complete work. They were not used to coat such precision items (but they boasted themself that they gold plated a WC-cover in an airplane of an american millionaire! HI). Therefore, I was forced to redo everything. To make it easier, I converted my X3-milling machine into a CNC version. This took an other year. Instead of gold plating the base, I powder coated it with transparent powder. You can see it on the photo. The orange peel is the typical look for powder coating. The surface is absolutely flat. Some properties: - weight: four pounds - contacts are one side gold and the other palladium - contacts are isolated by cramic (one photo shows the drilling of the ceramic pipe under water. This is the only way to do the job) - there are no springs, but magnets, only, to reset the paddles - the paddles are made out of aluminium and are red anodized - the base and the bearing block is made out of brass MS58 - paddles are mounted in thrust ball bearings - handles are made out of acryl glass - only set screws are gold plated I hope you will enjoy the remaining fotos. 73, Georg dl2kp --- Diese E-Mail wurde von Avast Antivirus-Software auf Viren gepr?ft. https://www.avast.com/antivirus From mail10 at barefoothorse.com.au Thu Dec 29 17:18:25 2016 From: mail10 at barefoothorse.com.au (List Mail) Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2016 12:18:25 +1100 Subject: [hpsdr] HPSDR / HPMP In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <08E01DDAA3F549A88E14E3870E49B875@LukeNetbook> Very nice, Georg!

I'm running it with a bare Hermes. It will be used with transverters here from 903 MHz and up. I still do have a issue that I'll forward to John. Even though Alex and Apollo are deselected, I still get high power reading on transmit (watts instead of mW). There also seems to be something going on with transmit audio that is displayed. In tune, the spectrum is sometimes a smooth peak as it should be, but other times it's a mess. I should post a pic on Dropbox. It seems to be BW related. Higher bandwidth, the worse it is.... I'm running a Pi 3 with a clean install of Jessie. My network is Gigabit/wired. No WiFi. I've tried direct connection between my Hermes and PiHPSDR with no difference. PiHPSDR is vers 1.07 The Hermes works 100% over my network with my normal office computer.... Pics to follow.

I've been reading about WSJT-X, WSPR, etc. and would like to try them with HPSDR. Any pointers on hooking this up? I'm aware of VAC, but think I've read about better alternatives, just can't find.

A LOT of other data. If you use the ResMon tool, built into Windows (command-R, "resmon", enter), you'll see there's plenty of network bandwidth to burn. There are disadvantages, which is that your network setup can become more complex. You have to manually set your "network metric" settings when you use multiple NICs like that. For the digi mode stuff, you will need both a virtual audio program and a virtual serial port program. For the virtual serial ports you have three choices: com0com, VSPM and VSPE. I prefer VSPE even though it costs money. As for VAC, look here for more info on using the VAC facility and using Voicemeeter Banana to connect software together for audio. https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/apache-labs/conversations/messages/20234 If you don't want to use Voicemeeter there are a ton of Youtube videos on how to use Muzychenko's original VAC program. Finally, the current Hermes firmware only supports 100BASE-T. 73! Scott/w-u-2-o -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
