What a great help Geep Howell WA4RTS has given me for the past two days! He lives in Lynchburg, about an hour and a half away from us here in Blacksburg, VA, and we have had two "monster-long" telephone calls. He stayed in there and kept making helpful suggestions until, together, we discovered that my problem was NOT with the FLEX-1500, but with a West Mountain Radio RIGblaster I had connected via USB to my desk computer. Once I disconnected the RIGblaster almost all of my CW problems went away. He has helped me more with getting the audio going to the ASIO4ALL, and now I can see and hear and operate using the same Phones jack. Joy!
Geep has "held my hand" with websites and settings he uses with his FLEX radios. I thank him as a SUPER FLEXER. But, poor guy, I am sure I will be going back to him for more help as time goes by. I think we both will be happy when the CW beginning characters get recognized and sent properly. I think Gerald Youngblood will let us know when the fix is made. I am a CW QRP enthusiast, so sending good CW is important to me. I still have a long way to go in implementing all the things I want to do with my FLEX-1500, but now I am off to a great start! I have made QSOs on several bands, using both SSB and CW: Washington state, St. Croix, and Louisiana, as well as on the Rooster Net on 3990 this morning--all up and down the east coast. Boy, I great GREAT RST reports--from everybody! This is a great radio! Thanks, Geep! 73, Carter N3AO and Kay N3KN Blacksburg, VA -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Brian Lloyd Sent: Sunday, September 19, 2010 11:51 PM To: Geep Howell Cc: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] FLEX-1500 Newbie Help Needed to get started > > Remember that one unasked question?
