The TX EQ is performed in software and is enabled for all phone modes. It is by passed for CW and DIGx modes. The mic preamp on the front panel is a hardware preamp.
I have a PR-40. I can drive the rig to full output with it using no preamp and the balanced line in on the back of the FLEX-5000. I choose not to do this and use a mic preamp to provide additional "headroom" gain for the balanced line input. So no it is not necessary. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Everett B. Simonds Sent: Friday, August 14, 2009 12:57 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [SPAM] [Flexradio] Equalizer The Flex 5000A manual states that the balanced microphone input on the back of the rig does not have a 20dB preamp as it does for the front input. Does the rear input bypass the PowerSDR equalizer as well? Has anyone found it necessary to use an external mic preamp when using a PR781 on the balanced input? Thanks.
