The rear 1/4" mike input seems much less prone to RFI issues than using the
eight pin connector on the front. Also use the rear RCA for PTT. Be
sure to check the box for mike gain in the main menu or you might find that
you have to run a lot of gain on the "radio" screen slider. Adjust the mike
gain slider on the "radio" so that it only occasionally gets to zero on
the MIC meter setting and never becomes a plus number.
Also putting an "air choke" in series with the dipole antenna before it
enters the shack can help. It's made with 19 to 21 feet of 50 ohm coax
wound around about a 5 inch pvc. Do not let the winds overlap or cross.
Curious if you have a means to measure SWR independent of the Flex and if
the ATU does a lot of "hunting?"
