I don't think it exists either, we are looking for:
A way to "lock" the drive level at a particular setting or a way to specify a maximum drive level. (ie, slider cant be set above 75%) During contests the operator at the radio changes fairly frequently, and not everyone is used to operating with the amplifier inline so it would benefit us to atleast lock or limit the setting on the main GUI screen. Even more wishful thinking would be to set different drive power levels per band. (and per connector on the 5000) From: Tim Ellison [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2010 9:26 PM To: Greg Zenger [N2GZ]; [email protected] Subject: RE: [Flexradio] Limit drive power? Are you asking for a way to "lock" the drive level at a particular setting? If so I do not know of a way to do this. The operator has full access to all of the console controls. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Greg Zenger [N2GZ] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2010 8:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Flexradio] Limit drive power? Is there a way to set the maximum drive power for the flex-3000 so that It cannot inadvertently overdrive an amplifier? For a radio that is used in a clubroom by many users, it would be nice to be able to set a maximum drive level so that we don't have to worry about a new user accidentally cranking the drive slider up and destroying our amplifier's tubes. With the old knobby radio we would take some sticky poster tack and hold the output power knob in one position. Sticking poster tack on the screen won't work, so wondering if there was a software option to do this. The amplifier is mostly only used during contests, so a permanent fix isn't really a good option either, and an attenuator inline will hurt RX performance. Any ideas?
