Phil, I noticed with the last SVN I installed, 838, I lost the connection between the SDR and its keyer. I have a electronic keyer plugged into the SDR hardware box. In theory when you key the electronic keyer it keys the SDR. In the last SVN it stopped working twice, but it restored when I

[Flexradio] SDR on 6 Meters

2007-01-14 Thread Dave & Nancy Ridge
Hi Bill, yes there are two directions you can go using the SRD on 6 meters. I elected to go the route of no transverter. If you take this route, you need 1) a 6 meter preamp, (I use a DownEast 6 meter preamp, $65.00) and 2) an amp to get you from .5 watts to whatever you need to drive your amp.

I will be more blunt in that I think it was a real blunder to eliminate the 1 watt version. It was explained as a "business decision" and in the same breath the price of the 100 watt version was increased due to cost. Certainly the same cost concerns must apply to the 1 watt radio since the PA addi
