I have not seeing that... My F5K has never had to go back for repairs... I
have this radio almost 5 years! None of my Flex radios (F5-3-1.5K) has ever
failed. I mainly do digital 160 thru 6 meters. Ernest - W4EG

> Noticing some inconsistent behavior with my 5K. I've recently been running
> a lot of 75m AM.
> I created a profile, so the transmit settings are consistent.
> To achieve 25W of carrier, I normally have the drive set to 70. During this
> time, it's easy to achieve more than 25W, and on peaks it will easily
> exceed the 100W rating.
> Occasionally, I have to increase the drive to 100 to achieve the same 25W,
> and according to the Flex's meter, it's only peaking about 80W
>
> If I reboot both the Flex and the PC, I can usually get it back to the
> "normal" operation.

> I also found that if I tune the radio at 3.875 it more often than not goes
> into this lower output state.
> If I tune at 3.885 it more often than not works fine.
> Checked the SWR with my MFJ analyzer and found virtually no difference
> between the two frequencies.
> Since I've owned it, Flex has had the radio two times to realign the bridge.
>
> Anyone else experiencing what resembles inconsistent power?
> BTW, I'm only seeing this on 75M. If it matters, the antenna is a G5RV.
