Awwww.... c'mon Tony. You just love to watch Alan, David, Roger, and me fight.... admit it! Of course we are having fun! I have said it before: Softrocks are...
I finished the build and things seem to check out. I have a Voltage of 41mVdc across R48 and 40.2mVdc across R49, it's just a bit below the +/- 10mVdc spec and...
The bifilar winding will be the same side of the transformer. So if it calls out P1 and P2 then the bifilar are those and the same with S1 S2. 73, Tim Herrick,...
Has anyone had any luck using the SB live soundboard with Rocky? Without any hardware attached the sound quality is crackly and ratty sounding and not clear at...
Hey Tim, Yeah I understand that much. It's picking which is p1 or p2 pair that I was wondering about as I mentioned. Since in this case on T4 the primaries are...
It doesn't matter. As youi noted, they are identical in length and turns (because of the bifilar winding). The important thing is to make sure that the two...
Tnx Robby that's what I thought, but just wanted to make sure on that part. Thanks again for the great build notes since it was very helpful in completing the...
No it doesn't matter which pair is to which set. Just make sure with an ohm meter that you have the windings correct and not crossing. I usually make the...
One last time and I give up.... my 40/30/20.. is running into line in of computer being sent to digital master by virtual cable.. RX is great......... TX...
Rob Most, me included, have experienced a degree of crackling and popping when using it with Win 7. This is apparently due to Win 7's different audio driver...
Got my SDR back from Tony Today, it had a bad cap... I Still can not get it to transmit...I have tried Rocky, SDR, HDSDR. I have a second sound card modem...
... Subject: [softrock40] 40/30/20 still no transmit ... It keys via the USB controller. To get it to work with DM will be fairly complex, I'm not sure how to...
Tnx Warren, actually I'm using Rocky on an XP machine and seeing this problem. It must be, it doesn't like my SB live sound board or something, not sure. I'm...
I would skip the virtual cables, use two sound cards (not ham modems), stick with a softrock compatible version of PowerSDR and take your time reading all you...
Thanks Tim. Yes, that is what I thought. To identify the pairs, I put ~1/8" colored wire spacers on the p1(blk) p2(red) or s1(blk) s2(red) pairs and would...
Rob  Yes, as Warren comments Rocky tends to be unstable with W7 with a lot of noise on the audio of received and transmitted signals. However with a PC...
Well I finally got it recognize the softrock ensemble as DG8SAQ-I2C by trying every single USB port on the computer, a total of 6. When I tried the last one,...
Ken, I'm using an internal sound card on my XP machine and maybe that is my problem. Is it possible to use my USB Signalink for this instead of internal card? ...
Rob I believe I am correct in that: For receive functions only, Rocky only requires the use of one soundcard which may be internal to the PC or an external...
Hi Brue, I tried sending the following message directly to your e-mail address but the message was rejected. Very sorry to hear that the RXTX board is not...
I have done some work overnight to try to correlate a WSPR noise level of "0" to an actual noise level on HDSDR. It seems pretty consistent: Using the sound...
Further to this and, hopefully, my final note on the subject, I have run WSPR on 20 meters this afternoon for a little over an hour, alternating every few...
What software should a NEWBIE use to test a softrock receiver? I am a highly skilled retired EE and a skilled ham. I Just have never tried one of these simple...
SDR# (sdrsharp.com) is a nice, simple SDR receiver program that works well for most people who have Windows computers. Some hams have also successfully used it...

Rocky is still a good choice for getting started with transmit on the RXTX despite the problems with recent versions of Windows, but mostly because there...
