Re: [Flexradio] Turning off the AGC
I don't want any of my energy going outside the filter or coming in from outside. I would swap 1,2 and always do. It probably makes a tenth dB difference altogether but I don't want even that error.

Re: [Flexradio] Turning off the AGC
Thanks for the offer, it would be nice to compare. I'm not going around buying sound cards for the fun of it, I own several sound cards (most free) and I would like to know how well they do in my

Re: Turning off the AGC
Yes and NO. It turns off all variable gain but it turns on a FIXED gain. Go the AGC/ALC setup tab and set this fixed gain to ZERO 0dB and now you are all set. Bob N4HY KD5NWA wrote: -- Laziness is the

Re: SR-40 DDS
No. Each of the capacitors is charged around the 0-2pi circle at different turn on and different turn off phases. 0,90,180,270 degrees but each capacitor is turned on and off only ONCE per carrier

I'm not trying to measure the noise floor, I'm trying to measure the lowest discernible signal "MSD" A voltage reading on a meter by itself means nothing since it's not being compared to a known

QSD
Here's a question and a comment for Phil, Alex, Tony, et al-- In the SoftRock40 the transformer provides both non-inverted and inverted RF to the switches. The outputs of the FFs are gated so that the

Turning off the AGC
I want to try to measure the noise floor of my SR-40 setup and will need to have the AGC completely turned off. If I turn off the AGC of the Flex software will it really completely turn off all forms

Re: QSD Models
I have models for both ideal and real. If it were only that simple... For example in the modeled QSD circuit that I am using, even if both switches are on at the same time there is no "short circuit".

Re: QSD Models
Are you emulating real switches or perfect instantaneous switches? If you are emulating real switches the your conclusions are correct in that a slightly less that 25% waveform is the most efficient.
