In Step 5 you will configure PowerSDR's
Audio Parameters as well as the Mixer and
Antenna Settings.
A: Configure the Audio Parameters
PowerSDR's Audio Parameters (Sampling
Rate and Buffer Size) must be configured to
match those of the Device Driver (see Step
4). To do so, click Setup in the menu bar of
PowerSDR to open the Setup Form. Select
the Audio tab and then select the Primary
tab.
Set the Buffer Size to 1024 and the
Sample Rate to 96000 (the same values
you set for the Device Driver in Step 4-A).
Click OK at the bottom right to complete
the settings.
Step 5: Configure PowerSDR
B: Configure the FLEX-5000 Audio
Mixer
Your FLEX-5000A has several input and
output ports and the Audio Mixer is used to
select the ones you are using and set their
audio levels (just like with a sound card).
Click Mixer in the menu bar of PowerSDR.
Check Mic as the Input to select the front
Microphone jack. Check Pow Spkr Line
Out as the Output, to select your powered
speakers. Check Head Phones if you
instead (or simultaneously) want to send
audio to the front Phones jack.
Click the red X at the top right to close.
C: Configure the Antenna Selector
Click Antenna in the menu bar of
PowerSDR to open the Antenna Selector
window. Set the Receiver 1 and Transmit
Antenna to the antenna port (ANT1, ANT2
or ANT3) you connected your HF antenna
or dummy load to in Step 1-A.
Click the red X at the top right to close.
D: Click Start
Congratulations! You've now completed all
the steps required to set up your FLEX-
5000A. In PowerSDR, click the Start button
at the top left to operate your FLEX-5000A.
This Quick Start Guide provides only the
basic steps to set up your FLEX-5000A. For
more information, you are referred to the
FLEX-5000 Owner's manual, which can be
found in the Docs folder on the CD-ROM
that came with your transceiver.
