[Flexradio] Question for all

2014-02-17 Thread William and Susan
Good morning to all I recently bought the Ameritron ALS 600 Auto Amp. I can not load it properly to save my life. As soon as I start to transmit it jumps to Load Fault. The AMP test well in a dummy load. I know the flex 3000 does not have a ALC connection and I have read and understand the

I ran an ALS-600 with a 5000 for a very short time but went back to my AL-572. The problem was NOT with the Flex, my antenna was just not a good match without a tuner for the solid state amp. The ALS-600 requires a very low SWR or it will quickly go into fault. 73, Tim N9RO -Original

Bill, I use my Flex 5000A with an ALS-600 and the only time it ever faults is when I forget to manually set the amp's bandswitch to the correct frequency range. The first question I would ask is if you transmit into a 50 ohm dummy load does the amp behave correctly? Since you are using the

I operate remote better than 50 percent of the time. Since VOX on VAC no longer works on later versions of SDR, is there a way to make a LARGE MOX button so I can easily click on it from an IPhone or IPad? Thanks, Harry W9BR Harry Begin forwarded message: From: harry.h...@rauland.com
