This QSO was a blast. Texas is off the end of my dipole. I can't use my loop since the automatic ATU requires 10W to tune DOH!.
The QSB was really bad, but we did successfully make the QSO. The FLEX-1500 was easy to get up and running. The driver issue install is a breeze (like there isn't anything to install - it uses the generic Windows USB audio drivers). I'll be blogging some on my experiences with the FLEX-1500 starting later this weekend. I'll send out the URL when I have it up or I just may send out little blurbs on the reflector. I do plan to be on the air this weekend on 20m using PSK-31 and I will announce on the reflectors when I am QRV. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Steven L Hess Sent: Friday, March 26, 2010 4:12 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] FLEX-1500 to FLEX-1500 QSO Report I loled On 03/26/2010 12:54 PM, Greg Jurrens wrote: > In a shameless attempt to beat out the boss K5SDR and his 900mi > FLEX-1500 USB QSO....
