Hi folks. New Flex-5000 user, and Just getting around to setting up the digital modes, and need to draw on some of your experiences. First, rig is purely awesome! Gerald and Team, well done.
I am not using VAC as my limited experience with it before the Flex is that it tries to take over audio in/out and overall was a pain in the butt if you did not use it all the time. That's not the question anyway, but I do wonder why the close association with VAC. I have two soundcards installed, and both receive Flex audio via a mixer (left main out)) and the line-out of each sound card feeds a mixer port, and audio bound for the Flex RCA line-in is supplied by the right channel out of the mixer. This works fine, and I have used it with my PRO III before in a similar manner. I use Serial Splitter by Eltima as a one-to-many means of sharing COM ports, and run DXLab, MixW, HRD and Writelog. So far, I have DXLab, HRD and MixW working with the Flex and Kenwood 2000 CAT emulation. When in a digital mode on the Flex, does the RX and TX Gains function for non-VAC input and output of audio signals? Also, on previous rigs one always looked for no ALC movement when setting up audio levels. In the Flex manual I believe I saw somewhere to check ALC and to make sure 0 DB was not exceeded. Appreciate if someone could confirm this. Next relates to duty-cycle and RTTY. While I am sure this is available in the documentation somewhere, I admit to being one of those that grabs the manual as a last resort, and apologize in advance. Tried to post this to the Forums, but had trouble uploading.
