Jim Yes there is a low power transverter port on the back of the 5000 that I use with my 222 transverter. Can't remember the exact power, maybe a mw, but it is there and works just fine. 73 Al W5LUA

Flex Guys I have read the specs on the Flex 5000 U/V upgrade. This was one of the major reasons I purchased my 5000 which I received 12/2007 with the intent of using it with external microwave transverters. This radio has been great fun and a never ending adventure to own. In the past When asked, Gerald mentioned that there would be a low power transverter drive output. The website mentions that it can be used with external transverters but "requires power attenuation". Will there at least be an internal low power tap point or internal jumper to reduce power for us who are only interested in using the 5000 with external transverters without having to heat up an external attenuator? I realize the power will be adjustable but it's a risky thing to do, especially when the power level adjuasment is software controlled, not to mention the danger of possible latency in that circuit causing a power spike when keyed.
