OK, I just captured three photos that show how the noise appears on the display. Two show the "no noise" condition with Mic input disabled, and enabled with level set to 0 The third photo shows what happens when the Mic input is enabled, and the level is increased. The level reaches the shown amplitude once the input level is set to 40% or higher.
DRIVE was set to 0 Even with DRIVE set to normal level, no output is indicated on the RF PWR meter. Photos can be viewed at the link below. http://s922.beta.photobucket.com/user/njscan/library/Flex%205000%20Audio%20Chain%20Noise I'd be interested to see how many people can duplicate this. It's easy to try: Set your display to Panadapter Set DRIVE to 0 Disconnect your microphone Disable all audio sources in the MIXER window Key your transmitter It should show virtually no output on the Panadapter display Now ... With NO mic connected Open the Mixer and enable the mic of your choice Set the level to 50, or higher Key the transmitter Does your Panadapter show the "noise" If I listen to myself on another receiver it sounds like 60hz, but my power supply is clean. Unlike one of the other reports, I have not received any reports of bad audio. I'm very curious to see if others can reproduce this, especially if you are not using 2.5.3 -- *Best 73 de WA2SQQ Elmwood Park, NJ "The only dumb questions are those we don't ask"* _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz 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/
