Tim, Well, there's always that empty fire wire port on the back of the radio, would be nice if Flex came out with a line of Linear Amp, say from 500 watts, to legal limit that was totally controlled via the fire wire. Or better yet a modular Amp that you could add 500 watt RF modules and power supply modules to. Just an idea

But if there are, I am sure Ken will figure out how to wedge them in :-) -Tim -----Original Message----- From: mcha...@theriver.com [mailto:mcha...@theriver.com] Sent: Friday, August 21, 2009 6:48 PM To: Tim Ellison Cc: ve...@cogeco.ca; flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: RE: [Flexradio] FLEX-5000 V/U upgrade module question Tim, If that fills up the box, any plans for an expansion chassis if Flex comes out with any more goodies?

The RX2 installs below the heat sink on underneath the TRX board. Both the ATU and V/U-mod install on top of the heat sink above the PA. It will fill up the space in the chassis, but leave enough room for adequate cooling and air flow. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: mcha...@theriver.com [mailto:mcha...@theriver.com] Sent: Friday, August 21, 2009 6:37 PM To: Kevin Hobbs Cc: Tim Ellison; flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] FLEX-5000 V/U upgrade module question Tim, Is there room in the box for both the second receiver and the transverter, assuming that you already have the ATU installed?

A power connector has to be added to the PA board for the 60 watt version. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Bob Tracy Sent: Friday, August 21, 2009 5:04 PM To: 'Barry Jablonski'; flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] FLEX-5000 V/U upgrade module question Barry, The way I understand it, it is the power handling capability of the built-in connectors used by the VU. To get to 60 watts, separate power wiring must be added. Maybe someone from Flex will give a better explanation. 73, Bob K5KDN -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Barry Jablonski Sent: Friday, August 21, 2009 3:45 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] FLEX-5000 V/U upgrade module question I'm just curious about the '5000 transverter field upgrade. Why is the field upgrade limited to the 30W version and the 60W version requires a factory install?
