Re: [Flexradio] Transverter Operation with Flex 5000
Hi, Bill My Flex 5000 Operators Manual says the XVTX/COM ports outputs up to +5dBm, and is adjustable. 73, Jim KQ6EA On 10/18/2013 04:28 AM, Bill Tynan wrote: I have be trying interface transverters with my Flex 5K.

Re: [Flexradio] FlexRadio Digest, Vol 102, Issue 15
I wonder what happens if he tests a current production version of the 5000? He trashed the transmitter based on 2008 test data, and things have changed a lot since then.

I suspect because we are talking about a broadband noise generated hundreds of kHz away from the center tuned frequency it would have no affect.
