Re: [Flexradio] Looking to buy a 1500 and for some advice
The only performance shortcoming I have seen is the ability to act as a “band Scanner” when a really strong signal comes up off freq but in band. But at least that is down in the background noise level and never a real issue. Even some times useful to let me go check on what is going on.

Re: [Flexradio] Audio Question - Leveler ALC Time Constant Values
Hello Steve today (sri..) i read your mail. I think it is a good idea to make a comparison of the used settings. So here are mine: Leveler: Max Gain 1 (dB), Attack Time 2 (mS), Decay Time 200 (mS), and Hang Time 200 (mS) ALC: Attack Time 2 (mS), Decay Time 10 (mS), and Hang Time 100 (mS) Mostly DX'ing :-) '73s Tom, DF2LH ___ 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/
[Flexradio] Looking to buy a 1500 and for some advice
Thanks for all the advice in this thread and those of you who contacted me directly. I have to admit that the strong opinions (much appreciated) both ways have left me a little confused on exactly what to do. I guess the smart thing is to wait and save up for a 3000 although there's a 1500 that just came up for sale locally here in Denver that's a good deal. I have a few months before a mission to Africa so I guess I still have time to work all this out. ___ 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/

[Flexradio] Switching ancillary gear with PSDR
I'm in information overload (and loving it, mostly.) Could some of you hitech gurus point me toward where the most understandable explanation of how to use PSDR to remotely switch equipment would be found? The good news is I have a new Flex Radio (5K) and the not so good news is my shack under development to house it is on the second floor. So... I'm investigating artificial grounds and related topics. I'm thinking it should be relatively straight forward to tune my ground connection from shack to grounds rod(s) to series resonance for each band or sub band of interest with a little fiddling to construct a collection of fixed artificial grounds and select the one to use automatically with PSDR. I can easily handle the tuning of the individual artificial grounds but need a little nudge in the right direction (OK picked up and bodily thrown toward) the info for getting PSDR to do that automatically for me.

Re: [Flexradio] Switching ancillary gear with PSDR
I am not a hirech guru. But that hasn't stoppped me from ponitificating before. You want to connect DDutil to PowerSDR. DDu has the capability to switch hardware things by band or by macro. You connect it to PSDR with a virtual serial cable. There are a couple of good VSP programs, such as VSPE and VSPmgr. VSPmgr is written by the author of DDutil, Streve Nance. DDu can switch antenna switches, and a few auxiliary switches. Review it at k5fr.com, and find the Yahoo group, to see what hardware can be switched. Are you satisfied with artificial grounds?Jim KJ2P From: patric...@windstream.net To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2012 13:40:08 -0500 Subject: [Flexradio] Switching ancillary gear with PSDR I'm in information overload (and loving it, mostly.)
