[Flexradio] Antenna tuner
Hi Guys, I seem to have run into the automatic tuner not able to tune correctly. Before I ask for a ticket has anyone ever had a tuner go bad. The antenna port seems a little loose. It is the Flex 3000. Can I add an external tuner in front of the radio should I decide not to get a ticket and send it in?

Re: [Flexradio] Antenna tuner
Bill A few things. If the connector is loose, then take some time and open up the case and have a look. Don't worry, it won't bite you. Look for a broken lead to the board. Lots of electronic problems like this are a physical problem. To see if there is a bad connection, connect your radio to your antenna and listen to HF with the radio powered on and PowerSDR running. Wiggle the connector and if it is bad, you will certainly hear it on your speaker as the background noise will change by the same amount as your wiggling the bnc connector. Also make sure you don't have a bad jumper cable or even a problem with your antenna. You may need some other radio or analyzer to test to check. If it is broken, or doesn't look right, you can always call and talk to the great guys at Flex. I'm sure they will get you all fixed up. If you chose to use a different tuner, like and SGC or LDG, you can always do that. You just have to make sure you leave your Flex tuner in bypass.

Re: [Flexradio] Antenna Tuner Settings
Charles, The memory mode simply attempts to use your most recent settings at (or near) that same frequency rather than doing a full tune. This usually ends up being faster by a factor of 2-3. If there has not been a tune on a near frequency, it simply does a full tune anyways, so I would recommend using Memory mode unless you change antennas quite a bit.

I use two different antennas, and I have been using Full on every time I change bands. Is there some advantage to using Memory? Can someone please elaborate?
