It has 2 3.0 serial ports and a SSD drive as well The displays are beautiful, there fast and ad the accessory keyboard, there light and thin They also make a docking station for them as well Which gives you a nice USB hub, a gigabit wired network connection plus the wireless they can be bridged if needed Although not a cheap tablet probably the best tablets at present Also they have very nice sound Rick -----Original Message----- From: FlexRadio [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of flexradio-requ...@flex-radio.biz Sent: Monday, July 21, 2014 1:00 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: FlexRadio Digest, Vol 111, Issue 14 Send FlexRadio mailing list submissions to flexradio@flex-radio.biz To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to flexradio-requ...@flex-radio.biz You can reach the person managing the list at flexradio-ow...@flex-radio.biz When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of FlexRadio digest..."

Parsons" <w5...@w5rkn.com> To: "FlexRadio Reflector" <FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz> Subject: [Flexradio] XVTR Form Question Message-ID: <6A8F23D398C948AFB07988DF578BD06C@Ron8300PC> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" I am exploring the feasibility of modifying my satellite system, currently using two Flex radios and two transverters for the 2m and 70cm bands, to allow half-duplex terrestrial operation using a Flex-1500 to drive both transverters. I assume the XVTR form in PowerSDR is read from top to bottom to find to appropriate LO offset. In other words, to carve out a satellite sub-band within, say 2m, I would place the Begin and End Frequency for the sub-band above the more general band. For example: Band Button Begin Freq End Freq 3 145.8 146.0 4 144.0 148.0 so that when the XVTR form is scanned with a VFO (TX or RX) frequency of 145.9, the LO in Band Button 3 would be used? I assume also that the UCB Addresses need not follow the Band Button order. I also assume the manual?s description of RX Gain implies the it has not been implemented. ?RX Gain (dB): Amount of gain to apply to the incoming signals to compensate for gain within the transverter. Please note that this is still in development.?
