That is what you should see. The 30 and 20 meter bands pass through the same filter in the 1500, so there is no need to actually change the filter. There is only one filter used for both 30 and 20 meters. Likewise, 17 and 15 meters go through one other filter, and 12 and 10 metes pass through yet another filter. Reference to the schematic diagram (which is rather convoluted) reveals the way the filter switching is done in the 1500 by the front panel switch and the remote input from an external device. There is also a chart that shows the frequency range of each filter, several of which cover more than one band. Again, the manual is rather obscure on this point, but it's there. > The above is all with the amp band switch set to Remote.

The 1500 is internally wired so that the front panel switch lights the proper LED's to make the operator feel happy and also to let him know that the correct band has been selected. Try this: Slowly rotate the band switch from 16 through 10 meters. You will hear the filter relays "clunk" as they switch. You will notice that there are fewer clunks (and filters) than there are band positions on the switch. 73, Ralph W5JGV - WD2XSH/7 _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
