Re: [Flexradio] FLEX-5000 V/U upgrade module question
Barry, The reason is that the PA board has to be removed from the chassis/heat sink in order to install a higher power DC connector for the 60W model. That is not a field installable option. The original design plan for the FLEX-5000 was to offer only a 30W 2m upgrade. We decided to make the upgrade much more capable after the FLEX-5000 had been in production for come time.

Re: [Flexradio] FLEX-5000 V/U upgrade module question
Any chances that newly shipped FLEX-5000's could have this higher power DC connector already in place, thus allowing field upgradeable 60 watt versions for newly shipped 5000's? -Greg -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Gerald Youngblood Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2009 11:35 AM To: Barry Jablonski Cc: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] FLEX-5000 V/U upgrade module question Barry, The reason is that the PA board has to be removed from the chassis/heat sink in order to install a higher power DC connector for the 60W model.

Re: [Flexradio] FLEX-5000 V/U upgrade module question
I don't think there are any additional goodies on the drawing board for the FLEX-5000. But if there are, I am sure Ken will figure out how to wedge them in :-) -Tim -Original Message- From: mcha...@theriver.com [mailto:mcha...@theriver.com] Sent: Friday, August 21, 2009 6:48 PM To: Tim Ellison Cc: ve...@cogeco.ca; flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: RE: [Flexradio] FLEX-5000 V/U upgrade module question Tim, If that fills up the box, any plans for an expansion chassis if Flex comes out with any more goodies?

The RX2 installs below the heat sink on underneath the TRX board. Both the ATU and V/U-mod install on top of the heat sink above the PA. It will fill up the space in the chassis, but leave enough room for adequate cooling and air flow. -Tim -Original Message- From: mcha...@theriver.com [mailto:mcha...@theriver.com] Sent: Friday, August 21, 2009 6:37 PM To: Kevin Hobbs Cc: Tim Ellison; flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] FLEX-5000 V/U upgrade module question Tim, Is there room in the box for both the second receiver and the transverter, assuming that you already have the ATU installed?

Re: [Flexradio] FLEX-5000 V/U upgrade module question
Tim, Well, there's always that empty fire wire port on the back of the radio, would be nice if Flex came out with a line of Linear Amp, say from 500 watts, to legal limit that was totally controlled via the fire wire. Or better yet a modular Amp that you could add 500 watt RF modules and power supply modules to. Just an idea 73's Mike --- telli...@itsco.com wrote: From: Tim Ellison telli...@itsco.com To: mcha...@theriver.com mcha...@theriver.com CC: ve...@cogeco.ca ve...@cogeco.ca, flexradio@flex-radio.biz flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: RE: [Flexradio] FLEX-5000 V/U upgrade module question Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2009 18:53:56 -0400 I don't think there are any additional goodies on the drawing board for the FLEX-5000.
