I've been using RX1 and RX2 for dual-diversity reception on 40m, with
the RX1 connected to a 40m ground plane vertical (for transmit as well),
and RX2 connected to a small diameter receiving loop. I set it up so
that the main RX is in the left channel and RX2 is in the right channel
and it's very interesting to hear a weak DX signal swap back and forth
between the left and right ear, and in between. Clearly, without the
dual receivers, the DX would have faded into the noise floor, but that
rarely happens with dual diversity reception.
Think of the main AF Gain control as the 'master volume' control for the
radio. The RX2 VOL (vertical) slider controls the volume of the RX2
receiver, and the LEFT MultiRX vertical slider controls the volume of
the main receiver.
To position the main receiver in the left channel, slide the TOP
horizontal MultiRX slider to extreme left. To position RX2 in the right
channel, slide the RX2 PAN slider to the extreme right. Tune each
receiver to an area of the band without any signals (just band noise)
and adjust the following controls to even out the volume level between
the left and right channels (keeping in mind that the AGC-T control for
each receiver will significantly affect the volume of each channel:
-- LEFT Vertical MultiRX slider to adjust LEFT channel volume
-- RX2 VOL slider to adjust RIGHT channel volume

Just moved back home to the farm in KY from my apartment in NC where I
could hardly hear a thing and now the Flex 5000 is up and running on my
auto-tuned vertical and.... worked T27OU on the first call this morning
on 40M cw. The Flex is awesome!
I do have a question about audio though. After looking through the
archives, I couldn't find the same problem described, so here goes.
I can't seem to get things set right to get rx1 audio in one ear and rx2
in the other. The manual says:
"With the second receiver RX2 installed and on, you can also use these
controls to adjust the volume L/R position of RX1 and RX2
independently. To do so, deactivate MultiRX and activate RX2. The
left vertical slider will then adjust the RX1 volume only and the right
slider RX2 volume only. Use the 2 horizontal sliders to position RX1
and RX2 independently anywhere in the L/R audio spectrum."
The left vertical slider does affect the rx1 audio level, however, the
right vertical slider has no effect on rx2 audio and the horizontal
sliders have no effect on anything. I checked the stereo headphones on
my OrionII and they work fine putting the main rx in one ear and the
sub-rx in the other, so it's not the phones. I must not have something
set right, but I can't see what it is. The rx2 is on and the multirx is
off.
All I can get is both rx in both ears.
Any advice from you Flex pros?
73 and thanks!
