I use a high spec SPDT mag latching relay that I had left-over from a
project. Like this:
http://www.rfrelaystore.com/productdesc.php?pid=RDS-2S3DB-I . Almost any
decent coax relay could be used; I used what I had on-hand.

Hi Bill you email caught my attention. How do you have your fk5
configured for seperate TX and RX antennas.
I am currently configured for ANT 1 for TX/RX, and used RX2 for a
beverage ant for use when on 80/160. However RX2 is not switched
out, but is a continuous reciever with transmitting. I am
concerned that I might overload RX2 reciever and damanage it when
running my amplifier at legal limit. Your thoughts are apprciated.

You guys are making me feel OLD...
I just looked up at the bookcase and saw that "Starting FORTH" was
sitting right next to "Programming the Z80" and other 8-bit CPU
references that I haven't looked at in 30 or so years.
I hope it's not just nostalgic GEN-1 CPU geeks buying Flex radios.

Heck, you are all newbies.
I started out with two big pieces of crystal and a doorknob; we programmed
in Dude. Dude worked by shouting at your colleague to do the work or you
would throw one of the crystals at him. If he didn't perform correctly (a
bug) you showed him the doorknob. The second crystal was for protection
(dissatisfied former employee syndrome)

Brian,
Thanks for your thoughtful response.
I switched back to an older configuration using Power SDR 1.18.6 on a
partition with XP Pro and the same SDR 1000 was operating quite normally
there. Both S meters were giving the same reading and sensitivity was
fine.
I could pick up WWV on 10 and 15 MHz fine (WWV is a weak signal in
Australia). Re-booting back to Win 7 and PSDR 2.0.8 and also 2.8.16 gave
the performance I am concerned about again, and WWV was not there.
Nothing
else was changed, including lighting. Changing the database does not help.
It is hard to believe that there is not something in the latest betas of
PSDR that is causing this problem.
I think that the different S meter readings may be a clue.
Cheers
Barry

The receiver seems noisy and insensitive on all bands.
Any ideas why this is so?
The only way to know for sure is to hook up a calibrated signal generator
and test the receiver with a known signal.
The problem with, "it seems worse," is that you can't really tell. Maybe
your neighbor just put in a new light dimmer. I just found out that the
new
light dimmer I put in the kitchen does a 20dB number on my noise floor
over
all of 40m.

Has been waiting since the beginning of August for a version of PSDR
supporting XVTR-operation on my FLEX-1500. Installation on my Acer
Veritron
dual core 2,3G Pentium, 2 GB RAM with WIN-XP Proff SP3 was easy without
any
problems. XVTR-setup is functional so I?m now QRV 23cm>10m, 13cm>2m>10m,
6cm>2m>10m, 3cm>2m>10m, 1,2cm>70cm>10m with most of oscillators and the
FLEX-1500 locked to a GPS-disciplined 10 MHz reference. CW works
satisfactory compared to PSDS 2.0.8. All XVTR?s are DB6NT and they has for
safety reasons their own sequencers, so no need for build-in sequencing.
Tried to install PSDR 2.0.16 on my HP G62 notebook with W7/64, but without
success.
Will during the next weeks gain experience with the setup in the
microwave
activity contests.
