Ross, The FLEX-1500 does not have the necessary hardware to measure reflected power. Therefore the "Ref Pwr" & "SWR" settings are not functional if you are using a FLEX-1500.
The PowerSDR software is not only used with the FLEX-1500, but also with the FLX-3000 & FLEX-5000 radios. The reflected power & SWR options are only active if you are using a FLEX-3000 or a FLEX-5000. 73, Ray, K9DUR http://k9dur.info -----Original Message----- On Thu, Apr 10, 2014 at 1:17 PM, Ross Primrose <n...@n4rp.com> wrote: > Just picked up a used Flex-1500.
