Re: [Flexradio] Flex 5000 Speakers
Bill, I'm right there with you. To each their own I guess but why people pour money and time into trying to make their TX SSB signal sound like high fidelity audio is a mystery to me. Same with RX audio, while I do want better quality than what you would get with the tiny speaker included in most Japanese rigs these days, I don't necessarily need multi speaker surround sound. The main thing that I'm focused on is that my RX be comfortable to listen too for long periods of time. Too often in the past the lower priced rigs I've owned cause listener fatigue after short periods. Thankfully with Flex and PowerSDR, even my 1500 with just a pair of small computer speakers let's me listen for hours on end without fatigue. That's all I need. 73, Michael, W4HIJ On 1/20/2012 7:15 PM, William H. Fite wrote: I'm not one to get all wadded up about communications sound because...well...face it, it is communications audio.

Yeah, and when you tune to a properly modulated AM station like KWKH who fully occupies their 20 KHz bandwidth slot on the dial and then switch your F5K over to synchronous AM mode, full bandwidth, the results are very nice indeed! Makes one wonder why FM was ever invented. 73, Ralph W5JGV - WD2XSH/7 (old retired AM broadcaster) ___ 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/

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 5000 Speakers
I use an old 50 watt stereo amplifier ($5 flea market purchase) and a pair of book shelf 3-way speakers ($2 each yard sale). Each enclosure includes a 12 inch woofer. Adds a new dimension to wall-to-wall short wave listening and ham band operating. Caution, listening to summer static and lightening crashes with the volume up can scare the heck out of pets, spouses, etc. using this system.
