Re: [Flexradio] 1500 and THP HL45B
Using the HL45B as an IPA to drive a PA works well. Consideration must be given to hard line keying both amps. The HL45B requires making up a keying line with a proprietary pin out (not a phono plug). If you are soldering iron challenged, Array Solutions will make one up for you.

[Flexradio] Amplifier for 1500
Jim: If you would settle for 3db less power output, the THL 45B works well in this application with the 1500. Cost around $450 new at HRO. Array Solutions will build the keying cable, plug and play, if you elect to farm that task out. I used one as an IPA to drive a pair of 3-500Zs on 6 meters with a 1500.5 watts input1000 + output with this train. The THL 45B is a sturdy little beast, as is all their gear!

As I understand it, comparing the 3000 to the 5000, the 3000 has better receive sensitivity on 6 meters which is important to me. Some of us flex-a-holics contend that they may have tried to cram too many modules into the small 5000 box. I am sure that there are those who will argue this point. I have owned a 3000 and a 1500. I would like to see multiple SO-239 RF outputs on the 3000, but other than that, it's the most bang for the buck out there IMHO. It could be a mistake to discontinue the 3000.

Re: [Flexradio] Legacy Radios?
I wouldn't imagine that the 3000 would not be declared legacy in the near future. They say that the 5000's receiver is slightly more sensitive and it can be lashed up with an assortment of modules. My 3000 does everything I want it to do, with the possible exception of its potential to overdrive an rf amplifier w/o tieing it to an ALC circuit. Some of the Tokyo Hy Power Labs linear amps come with a printed warning, stating not to use them with SDR's w/o ALC. The SDR's have quite a few interconnects that increase the possibility for induction of problematic proximity static electricity. I am looking for a back up for my 3000 and I just might select another 3000 to be kept in an shielded box under the bed as lightning tends to find my rigs quite often here in Florida, just off the Gulf of Mexico. Moving forward, I am hopeful that Flex will not follow in Microsoft's footsteps, keying on knowledge gained after their introduction of Windows 8 which seems to be influenced by too much touch screen.

Re: [Flexradio] Microphone recommendations for 5000?
If you want to go all the way to the top, look at the specs on the Heil Pro 40. Adaptors are available for those who want plug and play compatibility with their flex rigs. I know, many will say that this mic is an overkill. For me, it was a good investment since I wanted broadcast quality, durability and bragging rights. Available new on ebay for about $275then, there is always the cost of the adaptors and the PTT devise (hand trigger or foot switch). You will need an inexpensive mic stand or a more expensive mic boom with or without a shock mount. A Pop Filter is available which actually works! Very cool.

Re: [Flexradio] New 5000a Owner Panic
RFI can occur when there is an impedance mismatch betweeen the transceiver and the antenna. Coax acts like it's actually three conductorsthe center, inter shield and outer shield. Ofter, RF voltage feedback travels into the transceiver on the outer shield. Straight out of the ARRL handbook. Usually more noticable on 10 meters than on 80. Solution.tweek the antenna for less that 1.5:1 VSWR. When computers are added to the equasion, RFI can be reduced with proper groundinng and toroid cores. White Man's Magic.

Others can give you a list of things to check, but to start with - you need a short solid ground connection between the 5000 and the PC. RF in the shack may result from high swr, keeping RF off of the outside of the coax when it comes into the shack (using *Toroidal Chokes* on the coax) can help a lot. 73 Ken AC0HO On Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 10:09 PM, Tony d...@optonline.net wrote: Aaren: 1.

Re: [Flexradio] Game changing
Let's see it this post makes it, or winds up on the cutting room floor. My dealings with Flex Radio's Tim Ellison have come to a screaming halt! He quoted me a firm price for a new 5000A with ATU and second receiver option, $2998. I asked Tim Ellison 3 times to check his numbers and he led me to believe that this price was firm. Well, yesterday, I received an email from him saying that he had made a mistake and the transceiver package price was $3499! He said that he made an honest mistake! Where I come from, if a supplier or individual quotes a price and the buyer accepts it, that's a contract. The arrogance of Flex has turned me off for their gear. This is a real disappointment, as I just sold/traded my IC756 Pro III and my Yaesu FT-897D package to amass funds to finance the new Flex. Bottom linebe careful with companies who zoom up to the top, as sometimes they move too fast causing customer service to suffer. If I should buy another Flex, it would be a used one from an individual, not from Flex Radio. I have waisted much time and I am very frustrated.

I apologize for my comments posted here to the group. You guys were right. What I said was inappropriate. I had no way of knowing that Tim had an ongoing health issue. I hope that I have not offended anyone's sensitivities. I will lay low in the tall grass! I have been told that I am sometimes too aggressive.

Re: [Flexradio] the cost
Observations from a big cat wranglerfor me, the only thing more exciting than working with one of our big cats here at BCFC, a 501(c)(3) non profit feline sanctuary, is taking a break between tours to sneak off and work 6 meters on my little Flex 1500! 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. Not to shabby! Best, Jim Broaddus de nx4e Panama City, Florida On Sat, 19 May 2012 13:21:44 + (UTC) amsct...@comcast.net writes: I heard murmurings about the price of the 6700 on the floor at Dayton yesterday, and expected this to appear on the reflector. 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.
