Hi Steve.

Good stuff! I've had my 5000A for almost three years. I have operated it
remotely from all over the country. Enjoyed every minute.
I listened in on an interesting QSO on 75M AM last week. A station on Long
Island, NY, who was operating a Yaesu or Kenwood radio, self righteously
called Flex users appliance operators. He went on to say he could never
operate a radio with no knobs.

Here's to many more years of fun!

Subject: [Flexradio] Three Years of Fun

Just realized I've had the Flex-5000a for three years, and I am still having
fun!

Initially I needed some upgrading having been accustomed to knocking off
the rough edges with software to make things work.  My first PC for the
Flex-5000a wasn't much good because I ignored the recommendations and
basically did a poor job of preparing for the SDR software and Firewire
needs.

Once I assembled an appropriate setup all was well.

During the time I have had the radio I have lost track of the number of
software updates and added features.  Each new arrival has been a treat.

I've had a blast using the radio from Topband to 6m, mostly SSB with a fair
bit of digital.

Have met some of the nicest people in fellow Flex owners and the Flex staff.

Even though the radio really doesn't need it, I egged myself on to whip up a
Rb-Frequency Source with help from a Flex-Radio volunteer.

I've slowly expanded the capabilities of the software running, and my skill
in using the programs.

You can see my two monitor setup at QRZ or my web blog  website.

It has been like having a wonderful self-upgrading radio - and lots of fun!

None of the other radios or gear that I have had have been this much fun!

Kudos to the Flex team and thank you!

Wow, isn't that a bit of the pot calling the kettle black! I bet he didn't
build his radio, even from a kit.

And did you break in to tell him that your Flex has every bit as many knobs
as his ricebox? The only thing is, they require more work to get to with a
mouse so you have to do more work to nail those contacts!

And if we are talking fanboi status, I have:


   1. Flex 5000a + RX2 + ATU (I have had it since just before RX2 came out)
   2. Flex 3000
   3. Flex 1500
   4. Dedicated computer built to Official Neal Campbell specs.

So there!

Gentlemen,

This is not a unique experience.   I have been called a CB operator, LID, 
etc. and my mother's reputation and my privates have been called into 
question!   I find this reaction to be downright common and I no longer 
routinely discuss Flex or SDR on the air unless I know that the other person 
either has such equipment or knows about it.   Since I have some ideas about 
how my SDR radios can be used in serious emergency situations as well as for 
pure pleasure this is a great disappointment to me.

[Flexradio] 6th Year as Flex'er

2011-11-27 Thread Neal Campbell
As best as I can go backwards, I believe I ordered my SDR-1000 in January
of 2006 which means I will be going on 6 years of Flex fanboy fanaticism
and at least 5.5 years of only owning SDR radios!

It would be neat if Flex could put a chronology on their website on product
releases. I think that the company is older and has done more than many
people know! I got in after the Python days (I think the production version
of PSDR was 1.2 and the test version was 1.3??)

I was traipsing thru my email archives trying to find my sales receipt (my
archives ended in June of 2006 so no luck) but it was so interesting to see
so many of the same hams still Flex'in! I saw an email from A potential
buyer with questions authored by W9OL in August of 2006. And, of course,
Tim, Eric, Gerald and Dale were there doing what they do! Mighty sad that
John Basiloto didn't get to see how successful the company he helped get on
its feet was performing.

[Flexradio] Switching channels on 60m on Flex 5000 RX2

2011-11-27 Thread w3sz
Hi All,

I can't figure out how to easily switch between 60 meter channels when 
receiving on 60 meters using the Flex 5000 RX2.

With RX1 it is easily done using the Band Stacking Memories, but they are not 
available with RX2.

My application is using RX1 as IF for microwaves and RX2 as 60 meter liaison 
receiver.  I don't want to have to switch RX1 from VHF+/VHFx to 60 meters and 
back again every time I want to change the 60 meter channel on RX2.

I assume that there is a way to do this that I am missing, but I couldn't find 
it after spending a good deal of time looking for it online and in the various 
Flex documents this afternooon.  

The same issue of course applies to trying to step through the WWV frequencies 
to check prop with RX2.

I am using PowerSDR 2.2.3.

Thanks in advance, and 73, 

Roger Rehr

Re: [Flexradio] Three Years of Fun

2011-11-27 Thread Kent Tiburski
Steve,

  Nice looking pic!  I bought a 3000 and really liked it.  Had issues with
the newer Power SDR (Beta 2.0) that just kicked my butt, but that's old
news. Having said that I liked the SDR concept so much I've upgraded to the
5000 over a year ago.  I can't say ANYTHING negative about it.  My best
friend who is an engineer, also owns a 5000, told me some interesting facts
about the radio.  Sherwood Labs has the 5000 as one of the top tiered radios
for RX.  But when you read the notes about the radios, the flex beats out
the rest of the crowd!  It IS the best sounding radio on both RX and TX I
have ever owned!

  By the way I use a two monitor system here also.  I use two 23 inch 1080p
monitors here.  I had issues with the no knob configuration but quickly
overcame that!  I saved the QST that had the FT-5000 review.  The author had
a sidebar that said it would be nice to be able to click on a signal and
QSY  (not exact).  I thought, dude get a FLEX!

  One of the reasons I bought the 5000 is the ability to configure your
system.  3000 is nice, but it is what it is, nice entry into SDR for sure.

  I'm in the process of upgrading my antenna system and shack.  Pics to
follow in a few months.  Thanks Steve!

Re: [Flexradio] Voice Keyer

2011-11-27 Thread Michael Walker
My 2 cents.

I've had good success with lots of PC voice keyers, but when they go down
in the middle of a contest you do tend to spend some time getting things
back online.  I have run N1MM with my F3K, but the setup did take some time.

I've just ordered one of these for my Flex
http://www.idiompress.com/logitalker.php as an external device.  A few of
my buddies have them and they just love them.


BTW, I just ran my first CW test.. period.  The Flex was so rock sold with
the 50hz filters, that I can't imagine using anything else.  Normally, I
would switch to my IC 756pro3, but this time I thought I would try the 3K
with The Knob.  You must have the knob to ensure you always have vfo
focus.

The one problem I had was that I kept coasting by the station as the tuning
signals were somewhat buffered.  Has anyone else seen this?

As someone else pointed out, you have to read the reviews, while it looks 
good, it seems like monkeys put it together, sometimes it works, sometimes 
it does not, no support if it does not work.
Also, that is one of the cheaper (low end) units, they go all the way up to 
6 cores


I would likely build one, or have a local place build one for me, I am still

Brett-- I just checked out the NewEgg computer you linked and it looks 
great.  I hadn't heard of the FX series processors, and it looks great.  I 
have a AMD Phenom II, built about 1.5 years ago, and the FX is even more 
advanced, next gen.  FX has lots of L2 and L3 cache, should be a killer.


I love the Phenom II-- I can run PSDR, with dozens of other apps, 
including remote access with Teamviewer and Skype (both big hogs), FLDigi, 
logging programs, you name it.  Never misses a beat.  So one day I decided 
to find the limit. Besides PSDR running and decoding PSK31 with FLDigi and 
logging, I had DDUtil coordinating the serial comm, 0-com-0, VAC, 
Teamviewer and skype running to make the remote work, a USB Netcam showing 
shack video to a buddy connected remotely, Davis Weatherlink writing out 
internet and APRS local weather info (runs on the machine 24x7), had email 
running, Panda Anti-virus in the background, was rendering an edited video 
with Pinnacle HD Ultimate, decrypting a DVD with DVD Shrink, and 
compiling/writing a DVD video with Nero 10. Couldn't cause PSDR to even 
stutter.  Highest I ever saw the processor load though-- hit 60% a couple 
of times-- but that's it!!  I had all the cores humping for that run 
though!


*PSDR is not a big resource hog. *But it does need to be serviced 
frequently and in near-real time. If some other process or driver causes a 
delay on the interrupt stack, you are going to notice the delays in the 
audio streams or CW response. Having multiple cores helps provide 
resources when another process is hogging, and lots of RAM so swapping 
NEVER happens is essential.  My normal setup, not doing stupid stuff like 
rendering videos, decrypting DVDs and writing disks-- CPU usage is 5-7%. 
Start Teamviewer and Skype and connect remotely and it jumps to 12-15%. 
DPCs go up with Teamviewer and Skype too, but not over 75 or so, except an 
occasional spike when the remote operator moves or clicks something on the 
screen.


When you hook that new computer to the Flex, you should see what the Flex 
really runs like.


Enjoy and 73

Re: [Flexradio] Interesting 100W amp for Flex 1500

Do you know what is required to obtain FCC Type Acceptance for sale in USA? 
Does a kit get around some of the costs and certification issues?

Someone sent me this link today. It looks like the bee's knees for the 1500.

Re: [Flexradio] 6th Year as Flex'er

Neal,

Gee, I beat you by about a month.  I visited the factory (Gerald's house) on
Christmas Eve 2005 To see the SDR-1000  ordered one before I left.  It was
delivered the end of January 2006.

[Flexradio] I'm setting up Writelog with a Flex 5000

2011-11-27 Thread Ron Rosson

Hi All,

I'm setting up Writelog with a Flex 5000.
I have put the Generic Kenwood radio in the port part of WL.
and have assigned it a ports with VSP Manager.
But it is not seeing the frequency next to the Radio when I'm logging the call.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Brian:
Try the HF Projects Super Packer Pro kit.  It should cost less, does 
auto-band-tuning (the micro does frequency counter thing), and is available 
from Virgil here in the US.


Virgil is redesigning a new version now, and taking orders for the next run. 
I have the previous version, and really like it.  I've used it with my 
FT-817 and openHPSDR.  I haven't tried it with my Flex-1500 yet, mostly due 
to time and physical positioning in the shack.  I also use his smaller 5W 
amp board to boost the power of my SDR-1000, openHPSDR, and various 
SoftRocks, and use his HF low-pass filter boards - another good buy.
