I recently purchased a Flex 3000 radio and came over to the "dark side" (depending on your perspective) of amateur radio after years of contest and DX operation on Yaesu 1000-MP and FT-2000 "box" radios. Not to prolong this discourse, but the reason for the change had a lot to do with my move of QTH from Connecticut and a 40 acre antenna field to Maryland and a rental house on the Chesapeake Bay when I came into the US Air Force Medical Corps on active duty in the late Fall of 2008.
I have been able to successfully get on the air with the Flex 3000, PowerSDR and MixW using VAC. It was GREAT to make RTTY contacts after a year of being off the air due to training, orientation, moving etc. to the new site. Now, I would like to expand. When I used my Yaesu radios, I would operate digital modes using MixW and operate CW and Phone contests using Writelog. I would like to do the same thing with my Flex "radio". I have researched the KB and other sites on the Web but still do not have a firm idea on how to do this. I would love a solution where I could easily move to MixW using SDR for digital work and thence to Writelog using SDR for contesting on phone or CW. Maybe I am asking for too much, but I hope someone out there might be able to help. I attended a TAPR/ARRL digital conference in Hartford in 2007 just in the middle of my internal debate about whether to enter the USAF or not. The overwhelming highlight of that conference for me was that software defined radio was the near and far future of amateur radio. So, I am eager to proceed with my conversion and hope anyone out there can help me with the transition! 73 Mike, N1MD _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
