The article about broadband noise from the Flex radios was published in the DUBUS Magazine 3 -2013. I was a long time waiting for a official response from Flexradio. As nothing happened I contacted Flexradio and got the same information from Tim Ellison: Yes, we agree upon SM5BSZs measurement but this broadband noise is in our opinion but a practical problem. If it is, buy a Flex 6000. SM5BSZ has in his article proposed a solution to minimize the problem, but this seems not to have any interest at Flexradio.
Im an active microwaver. Until I got this message I used 2 Flex 1500 with transverters and PAs to 1,3 47 GHz. On some bands I use maximum legal power and dish antennas. Under good propagation conditions I can raise the noise floor at UK stations 600 km away across the North Sea. That is not OK even if the radio meets US standard. Thats too bad. This arrogant attitude to the problem has forced me and other microwavers to go for radios not suffering from this problem, f. ex KX3 or ANAN. My 2 Flex 1500 are now collecting dust on the shelf.
