Re: [Flexradio] Flex-6500 antenna port (s)
Hello Eric, A friend and are now thoroughly confused on this whole antenna port question . In a recent email you say only one antenna to an SCU and in a previous question I asked on the 24th you said I can have a receive antenna connected as well as a main antenna ( I assume that means I can switch between antennas like on the 5000A) . So which is it??? On this whole question regarding antenna inputs could someone at Flex PLEASE draw a diagram!! 6. An SCU must be connected to one and only one antenna port. So if you have two SCUs (FLEX-6700) you can place slice receivers on two antennas 7. Slice receivers may be placed on any SCU. This means that you may have all eight slice receivers on a single SCU (and therefore antenna) if you desire. Yes. You can use any of the 4 antenna inputs for reception on the 6500 (ANT 1, ANT 2, RX ANT A-In, and XVTR). Note that on the 6700, each SCU has 4 options for receive antennas (SCU-1 would use RX ANT A-In, SCU-2 would use RX ANT B-In).

Re: [Flexradio] Flex-6500 antenna port (s)
Dennis, We are working on a diagram but let me try to explain in the interim. Let's start with the FLEX-6500, which has a single SCU. 1. A Spectral Capture Unit (SCU) digitizes the entire spectrum from 30 KHz to 77 MHz in one swallow using a 245.76 Msps A/D converter. 2. The SCU consists of the RF front end (preselectors, RF preamps, Nyquist filter, ADC, FPFA, and DSP) to capture and process that spectrum. 3. This SCU can connect to only one antenna at a time because there is only a single RF to digital path. 4. However, this SCU can connect to any one of ANT1, ANT2, RX IN A, or the XVTR port through a relay switching matrix. 5. The Slice Receivers are full performance digital receivers that do direct digital down conversion to audio with independent demodulation, filtering, AGC, NR, etc. for each receiver. 6. Each of the four Slice Receivers and their respective panadapters on the 6500 can be tuned independently and concurrently to any frequency and mode within the 77 MHz spectrum. All receivers have the exact same high dynamic range performance. Now to the FLEX-6700, which has two identical SCUs in parallel. 1. With two SCUs we now have two independent RF to digital paths that can be connected to two independent antennas or can share one antenna through a RF power splitter. 2. With two SCUs, one can be on ANT1 and the other on ANT2. SCU B can receive on RX IN B while SCU A is transceiving on ANT1. SCU B could alternately transceive on the XVTR port. 3. With two SCUs and two antennas, we can do spatial diversity, beam forming and steering, noise mitigation, etc. that involves phasing the antennas in software. Many customers enjoy this feature (ESC) today on the FLEX-5000 with RX2. 4. With two SCUs, one can be connected to a narrow band StepIR for transceiver while the other is connected to a multi-band antenna watching for band openings or multipliers in a contest. 5. With the additional signal processing on the 6700, you currently get up to a total of 8 Slice Receivers that can be used on a single SCU or allocated across both SCUs. 6. The 6700 adds the option of tuning 135-165 MHz on either SCU. Note that the 30 KHz to 77 MHz and 136-165 MHz ranges are mutually exclusive on a single SCU. It requires two SCUs to use both ranges simultaneously. 7. On the 6700, you might choose to monitor up to seven 2m repeaters on one SCU while working 20m with the other. You could also monitor the 10m, and 6m on one SCU while watching 2m on the second SCU at the same time for weak signal openings. The combinations are endless. 8. You could also monitor the 50.110, 50.125 and six beacons simultaneously on 6m (the magic band). You could even set some of the Slice Receivers to monitor MUF on signals below 6m or any other band for that matter.

Of course, this is confused by the fact that only two of them can be used as PA outputs as well. :-) I have a 5000 and quickly realized that the myriad connectors, while seeming to be very flexible, were actually quite limited because, once your shack moves beyond a certain level of complexity, it becomes necessary to move the switching external to your receiver and exciter/transmitter. For example, consider the addition of a power amplifier. Once you add one you are forced to place the antenna switching after the amp. Flex got that with the addition of an external receive processing loop (RX1 in/RX1 out) but left out that you need the same loop for RX2 *AND* the transmitter if you are going to really make everything universal. So the solution is to do one of two things: 1. Keep adding all kinds of switching to the radio itself, e.g. more processing loops; 2. move all the switching to an external box or patch panel. Personally, I think that Flex got the input/output switching perfect with the 1500. There is a combined RX/TX connector and then separate RX and TX connectors. It assumes external switching. Nothing to frustrate you because there is nothing to confuse or to present you with multiple combinations, none of which quite meet your needs. :-) You know ahead of time that you are going to have to come up with some other switching arrangement. No surprises. So, here is hoping for a sensible external crossbar switch that will allow any combination of switching under software control (Ethernet/IP connection, please), with high (70+ dB) isolation.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex-6500 antenna port (s)
In a single SCU with let's say two slice receivers, one set to look at just the 160M band and the other set to look at 6M, how is the front end preselection done? Would two band pass filters be put in parallel to handle the preselection for the two slice receivers' frequency ranges? If so, what would happen if you used four slice receivers on 160, 80, 40, and 20 M? Would the front end being partially open on the lower frequencies affect the 20 M receiver? Also, have the noisy Peregrine Semi PE 4259's used in the 5000 RFIO board been eliminated in the 6000? Those things and their internal switching -Vcc supply produce an elevated noise floor due to harmonics appearing as unstable broad noise bumps seen across the MF to HF spectrum. It does affect performance on 12 and 10 M to the extent that I use an external high gain preamp, turn off the internal preamp, and use the gain correction in the antenna tab to bring things back to calibration. I'm in a VERY quiet location and am limited by atmospheric noise only. Thanks!

FLEX I think FLEX needs to set up a PayPal account so those of us that want to show our support for future releases of PowerSDR can do so and those who don't or CAN'T, won't fill they have to and it will keep Flex legal, this can be done as a Donation to PowerSDR. I think that PowerSDR has came so far passed the FREE software stage compared to some other stuff out that you have to buy, that it is WELL worth it to me to show them the support they deserve and show them that a total re-write of a user interface for the Flex x000 and 1500 will be worth there time to do if they don't fill they can do it with the existing PowerSDR code and if they have to charge for it then that will be up to them and then you the users, if you want to Pay for the new version or stay with the old one that will be up to the individual users. We really don't have a voice if Flex will do this or not but I think it would help insure the survival of the Existing Flex Radios, fit everyone's pocket book and let Flex be able to fill good about keeping there promise they made to us with the Radio's we already purchased. So far they have done it for free for me seance 2008 (wow 4 Years now)and I think I need to give them some money to help guarantee I still have a new EXCITING updated Radio a couple times a year for the next 4 years and beyond if possible. I relies that the hardware will only do so much and it would be nice for some users to get away from the FireWire interface but for the most of us that are very satisfied with the radios this will be the best alternative with minimum investment. So come on Flex give us, the users a chance to tell you how much we want continued support for our existing radios and put our money where are mouths are. 73's Bret WX7Y -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
