[Flexradio] Tuner Question for Flex-5000

2013-12-16 Thread Hans-Joachim Lehmann
Dear Joe, if you are definitely sure you wouldn't ever need any other radio and any higher power than your 100 W, the internal tuner could be a good choice. If you are seeing changes of radio or power even only in the distant future, an external tuner is first choice. Decide yourself whether to

I feel that Mr. Lehmann's comments are absolutely sound and, Joe, if I were in your position I would do exactly as he says. Actually, since I run both 100 watts and internal tuner and external amp with external manual tuner I have accidentally stumbled upon Hans-Joachim's thinking and

In response to the original question, I found that the autotuners in both the 3000 and the 5000 to not be as good as the 2 LDG tuners and the 2 SGC tuners I compared them with. While it is nice that it can cover from 6:1000 ohms (on the 5000), I was not pleased with it's speed. Mike va3mw On

IIRC the internal tuner for the 5K is actually made by LDG or is an LDG design. Seems like I remember it that way from back when I had my 5K. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Doesn't mean it's as good as an external one though. 73, Michael, W4HIJ On 12/15/2013 5:14 PM, Joe

I followed Dave’s lead and did the uninstalls and installs. Then ran PSDRDT going directly from 2.6.4 to 2.7.2. During the beta, I had transferred 2.6.4 to 2.7.0 to 2.7.1 to 2.7.2. This time all went well EXCEPT the EQ on the Flex 1500 on the new 2.7.2 was flat. I would swear that the EQ on
