Re: [Flexradio] Laptops Flex Radios
Hi Kermit I have recently acquired a Flex 3000 and run it on an HP Probook 6550B laptop using the built in firewire port and 8 GB RAM. So far it seems to be working work fine. The only difficulty I have encountered is when running CW skimmer and the Flex 3000 on the same laptop. With this configuration there is evidence of distortion/noise in the audio output from CW Skimmer. I need to do some further diagnosis to try and identify what is causing the CW Skimmer noise problem. 73, Brian VK3MI ZL1AZE -Original Message- From: Bob VanFossen Sent: Friday, March 02, 2012 5:26 AM To: Flex Reflector Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Laptops Flex Radios Edit: I am using a flex 3000. Kermit, I am currently using an HP Probook fairly current model, win 7 8g memory with pc express slot. In that slot I have a firewire card with the TI chipset. I can't tell you the brand as I don't remember. This combination works just as well as the home computer, and the CW latency is almost non-existant.

[Flexradio] Laptops Flex Radios
Hi, I am interested in getting a 3000 and want to run it from a laptop (for portability reasons). I do not currently have a laptop which would be suitable and I have never owned one with FireWire capability as far as I know. Is it possible to use a laptop with any of the Flex Radios, especially the 3000? What processors, RAM, etc are required?

I'm using a Dell M5030 laptop with my 1500. Has worked great since got the combination in October 2011. Very little cw latency and not hinder my sending CW. Code speed usually at around 30 wpm or higher.
