Brian, Same story here. Mine was delivered last Thurs. couldn't be happier. I have mine TX and into an AL-1500 with legal limit ++, no problems.
Of course, I have quite a few newbie type questions, so I have been pushing for a "knowledge base" (searchaable pipermail archive), or ortherwise I guess I will spend some time on the phone with John at Flex next week if I can not scratch out all the answers on my own. > functionality is really something. The Flex guys did a great job in covering > everything on how to get things set up. One thing though, before you put it in TX, and even more so if you run power. FIRST run a common ground bus around your shack, and bond everything to it. I have had for years in this shack, a 3/8" copper pipe (you can use refigeration plumbers tubing if you want. very inexpensive at your local Home Depot for a 50' roll) running around the perimiter of the room then outside to one 10' copper grounding rod sunk into the earth. I take jumpers of 12 guage copper off it whereever I need for any new piece of equipment that I move into the shack. The Flex was no exception. The computers that run your Flex setup, the amp, tuners, mic preamp and mixing board, just EVERYTHING should be bonded to a common one point ground. I noted in Flex's Fast HookUp Cheat Sheet that came in the box from the factory with the radio, that they never mentioned what the purpose of that little binding post on the back panel was for (the one labeled GROUND), or instructed that the new user hook it up as part of his/her 1-2-3-GO/Turn On The Power. 73s -Dan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Sherrod" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz> Sent: Saturday, April 29, 2006 2:48 PM Subject: [Flexradio] New SDR-1000 > I got my SDR-1000/100 watt unit & D-44 Friday, and have had a blast with it > since.
