Good Point Jim also drive down the Flex 3000's:). I still have a lot fun with my Flex 1500. Worked and a nice rig chew with Ed VP9CE (fm72) last night on 6 meters. 5/9+ at times.

Now here's the big news: for many of us who are unable to plunk down 6K for a 6000, the introduction of this new radio may drive the Flex 5000 market down to the point where we may see, for the first time, these great 5000's available on the used market as flex-a-holics trade up. As I spoke to Tim at Flex yesterday, he communicated to me that there may be a few used 5000's available directly through Flex, under full warranty, at price points that we have never seen before.

I have to say that I find the price on both the 6500 and the 6700 to be extremely fair. What do I base this opinion on? Look at 6000 series pamphlet, and Google the FPGAs that Flex are using; the Xlinx XC6VLX130T (used in the 6700) cost, in single unit quantities, over $1200.00 USD! FPGAs are complex, expensive, their yields are low and the price of the development tools are not cheap. My company uses a suite that cost $40K USD per seat... I'm sure that Flex is pricing both models as competitively as possible, and is not using a prestige pricing model. I'm also sure that, based on sales of 1500s and 3000s, they are well aware that many people can't (or won't) pay $7K. This is why they are offering two models, so as to compete in two price-to-performance arenas. Personally, I most certainly do not want Flex to de-content the 6700 to make it more affordable. I want the performance advantages of the 6700 and am willing to pay for it.

Yes you should reduce power. It's my experience that you can damage the PA's in the Flex 1500 for sure! Also operating in digital modes you may even spike you're output on the Flex 1500 and damage or wipe out the output modules in you amplifier.( THP Model HL-45B my station) I run around 35 to 40% output at the most on my Flex 1500 for digital.

If you leave PowerSDR running and Microsoft does an automatic update that requires a reboot of your PC and a forced close of all open applications, then the memory file gets corrupted. This can happen if something happens that makes PowerSDR throw an exception error. There is some relief on the way. There are some fixes and enhancements for this issue planned for the next release of PowerSDR. And before everyone asks, I do not have an ETA on when that release will be available. In the mean time, there is a little standalone Memory database manager applet that will manually allow the user to create three sequential backups of the memory.xml file for archive and recovery purposes. In addition to creating memory database backups, you can restore a previously backed up memory database as the actual memory database, display the state of the backed up memory files and delete memory file back ups too. You need to log on to the PC as the same user that you log on with when using the SDR and run it from the same drive that PowerSDR is installed on.

A properly modified FT-102 can sound excellent on AM. There is nothing wrong with the old tube rigs you mention. But, they all need modifications to make them sound good on AM. The fact that a transmitter uses high level plate modulation doesn't guarantee that it sounds good. In fact, most of the 100W class AM transmitters from the 50's and 60's sound terrible until they are modified. Most of them had restricted audio bandwidth and horrible things like clippers and high/low pass audio filters.

Anyone have any additional feedback? Yes. The FT-102 is not really a great AM transmitter. It is an solid-state SSB transceiver with a tube driver and tube PA but it is in no-way a tube transmitter as virtually all the work is done by transistors at low levels. If you want that classical tube broadcast sound you need an all-tube transmitter with high-level modulation. That means screen grid modulation (OK) or plate modulation (best). So try looking around at boat anchors. There were a lot of near-100W AM transmitters made in the '50s and early '60s. Many were billed as novice rigs and could be modified to be driven by your 1500 rather than by the built-in crystal oscillator or VFO. Now it will provide more power from your 1500 but it will also allow you to do high-level modulation. Just let the 1500 provide the carrier and use the external transmitter's modulator. Someone was talking about modifying the DX-60 to be a PA for the 1500. This is an excellent solution as it will allow the 1500 to deliver about 50W PEP output but you can use the screen modulation of the 6146 in the DX-60 to produce AM. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682 br...@lloyd.com +1.767.617.1365 (Dominica) +1.916.877.5067 (USA) ___ 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/ - No virus found in this message.

With the bands as crowded as they are these days I find myself receiving with the filtering set at 2.4 kHz. Readability is very good. I will have to dig out my 1950's copies of QST and see just why we decided to use single sideband in the first place. Now we watch movies on a 4 inch screen with often non-descript earbuds and wonder if I have wasted my money on these speaker systems with close to 200 drivers and with a screen that allows me to see Aaron Rogers at much larger than full size. I think Yul said it best when he commented T'is a puzzlement! To me also. I cannot imagine why someone would run AM at all because one can do precisely the same thing using SSB at 1/8 the power and 1/2 the bandwidth. But I was treating the question as a technical discussion. Understanding the production of a good AM signal is interesting even if I cannot imagine why anyone would bother. The last time I was concerned with producing a good AM signal I was in Junior High School and playing on the CB band with my friends. Yes, I modified an AM ham transmitter with high-level modulation so I could have a good 50W signal. Now? No so much. But that doesn't mean that others aren't interested in producing a high quality AM signal. Like I said, it is a technical challenge.

Once you get use to using a mouse and a few key's the Flex is really easy to use. Most guys talk about not like a SDR because they miss knobs, but I must say I got over that in about 5 mins of using the Flex. Not sure if I will spend the bigger dollars for a 5000 or 3000, the 1500 does a lot, and I connected to my AL-811H amp, now getting 100watts more or less depending on the band, makes the 1500 really useful.

The Flex is not the only radio in my shack so I believed it would be no problem to use one of the other rigs while my Flex was off to Austin. Well, I was wrong! I found that I would rather not operate rather than use one of the other rigs. In every way my Flex is better than the other rigs in my shack. As I have heard other Flex owners say, it is like operating in the dark, when trying to use a rig without the visual interface. I guess I will have to sell one of the other rigs and buy a second Flex, just in case I have another loss of comon sense. Thanks for all at Flex for the great radios and software that you produce.

Please see the definition of a Release Candidate is provide below for reference. We have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from so many customers who were pleased with the new CW keyer and the ease of upgrade. Given that there have been over 6,400 downloads to date, the number of reported bugs are minimal. We have already fixed a number of the more important ones and have two remaining known issues that we plan to fix before going to a general availability (GA) release. The two remaining issues we are working are as follows: 1. Some, but not all FLEX-5000 customers are experiencing random and intermittent TR or tuning receiver drop out. This is a firmware control timing problem that I previously reported on the reflectors. This problem does not exist in the 1.18.6 official release and appears to be timing related on some specific PC/FLEX-5000 combinations. This problem is being actively worked by the engineering team. 2. We have identified a potential cause of ALC overshoot in the DSP software and are working on a solution. This is mainly an issue for customers running legal limit amplifiers that require drive levels below full power (e.g. 50W or so) of the radio. We will keep you informed when we have resolved these remaining issues.

Re: [Flexradio] 1500 RADIO UP AND RUNNING 2.0.19 Software
I'm here to tell you what a difference 2.0.19 Software made! Not just CW but the NB and the ANF I notice a improvement on my end right away. Just everything was pretty munch flawless for my operating purposes. I have been running a lot of soundcard modes, along with JT65 on HF and working a lot of DX with just 5 watts! I'm having some much fun with this little Flex 1500 rig. Discovering something new in ham radio SDR radios along with the world of QRP. Just what I needed something to breathe new life into my ham radio hobby! Thanks to all that got 2.0.19 Software up and running, and thanks to Flex for making a great little rig that's so affordable and within reach of most everybody's budget. I thank If most hams were to look at the Flex 1500 you have to agree for the cost you would be hard pressed to find any other radio that has so much bang for the buck!

[Flexradio] Ref Flex 1500 adding Amp
I'm going to buy the Tokyo High Power amp model HL-45B this week. Now will I need a buffer box Like the ERB-1 below? I have all ready made up a cable for the Flex Wire port. I understand the two pin outs to key a amp are 5 and 4. Now can I use those leads direct to the HL-45B or key thru a buffer? Any comments or thoughts from the group? Rick KD4JRX ERB-1 External Linear Relay Box The ERB-1 is an External Linear Relay Box designed to be an interface between your HF Radio and Linear Amplifier. The ERB-1 uses RCA Phono jacks so it can be connected to many popular radios by simply using RCA to RCA cables. It also can be used for any other switching applications you may have. Refer to specifications. Compatibility When properly connected the ERB-1 will work with virtually any Linear or Radio combination. For some Radio and Linears, two RCA to RCA cables(Sold Seperately) are all that is needed. It is also QSK compatible. Power It can be powered by an optional 9 volt battery or power cube. Why do I need a Relay buffer between my Amplifier and Radio? When connecting different brands of Radios and Amplifiers, there may be switching voltage,polarity, and current capability issues that can cause damage to your radio or amplifier if connected without a switching buffer between them. Even if your internal radio switching looks like it should be usable, it is alway nice to have an extra degree of isolation between your amplifier and radio. Reliability All inputs an outputs are protected making the ERB-1 extremely Rugged and Reliable.
