Re: [Flexradio] Low band

2016-01-18 Thread Ed WB0VHF
Don't get me wrong - I like my F5K, and PowerSDR. I would like to see 
more done with it over time, but I'm not expecting anything from Flex.


I do want to say - all the talk that Flex is making a business decision 
in favor of the 6xxx series - what happens when the next series comes 
along? Will the SmartSDR give way to something else, and "business" will 
cut it off?


Also, support of the hardware for a hardware device is good, but when 
you have a hybrid, the software should be part of the support. New 
features - well, maybe not so much. But it seems that when the WARC 
bands came out in 79, most "recent" radios had kits made available from 
the manufacturers (at a cost) to add those new bands to their radios, 
even if they weren't the latest model in the line-up. I would hope that 
Flex will add in whatever we get as new allocations, at least for a while.


Why is some of this important to Flex, even if it isn't the highest 
volume cash draw they have? Well, it indicates what they may be likely 
to do in the future. I thought one of the tag-lines they had was these 
were "future proof". The future is a pretty big item. Maybe as a small 
start-up, they didn't have the training in proper marketing limitations 
to not promise something they couldn't, or wouldn't delver (or the 
lawyers to tell them not to say that).

Hello Richard,

I think Flex has gone as far as it will go with the legacy systems, such as 
1500, 3000, 5000. I may be wrong, but I suspect we will never see  the new low 
band incorporated into PSDR.

At this point, I can’t blame them. Business wise the new 6000 series offers a 
better and more expandable architect. In addition, they only have so much time 
and resources and it would be much wiser and profitable to spend it on the 
6000’s.

I do love my Flex 3000, regardless.

I even like the GUI better than the new 6000’s.

But someday, I hope sooner than later, I will own a 6500.

Regards and 73,

 I may have (probably) missed it but everything I've noticed for the
most part is addressing 6,xxx series radios.

 Will power SDR address the new low band so that my 1500 and 3000 will
work that band as well as just listening to LW ?

 I thought it was all done with 2.7.2 which I didn't think there would
be any more updates.

 Or should I try 2.7.2 and see if it updates?



 Thanks I hope, Rich KC8HMJ

Since this is an SDR list, I trust you are writing all of your own SDR code, 
too, instead of buying it off the shelf. 

Just remember, we are all unique. That means that what you find interesting or 
easy, others might not and vice versa.

/divI¹m finding this thread really hard to comprehend, we are all radio 
hams
and have gone through various
Courses around the world, I would never ever consider buying a lead for any
headset either Radiosport, Heil or Computer
Headset I have sucessfully made all headsets work with every radio I have
used both Flex or YaKeIc. So why not heat up the soldering iron and
get on with it.

 The Silenx are only 8CFM, the original fans are 23CFM (Cubic Feet per Min).

 These will not cool the finals enough and may damage the rig.

   

 Get yourself a set of ThermalTake Duramax 6 fans.

   

 These have a higher output than the original fans but less than half the
 noise (7db less noise).

   

 Duramax Fans can move 30.3CFM of air at noise level 32dBA

 See link: http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?C=1190
 http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?C=1190ID=2062 ID=2062

   

 The original fans can move 23.39 CFM of air but at a Noise Level of 38.65dBA
