Ross, Thanks for bringing some reality back into the discussion. The simple fact is that the locations of the worst case spurs don't really matter. Those frequencies are rarely if ever used. Also, most spurs are well below the atmospheric noise floor on HF so you don't hear them in normal

Gerald, I like the radio and I very much enjoyed meeting you at Pacificon (I was talking with you when the fire broke out on Sunday), but your remarks (and those of others) and their implication that those who are concerned about the spurs really ought not be (and the perceived denigration

Hi Jim It is with speech: my ham friends say they hear me with S9+20 on 80m/LSB and when listening to USB they hear my signal at abt S8. When I try to adjust the image rejection with transmit rejct in the DSP setup, I get abt 40db of rejection of the single tone. 73, Chris HB9AJP Jim Lux

Jim is absolutely correct. The RX and TX image rejection is completely separate (hence the need for separate controls in the software). Adjusting the RX side should not affect the TX side and vice versa. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] radio.biz]

About a month or so ago (after receiving my radio) I ran some Tx tests in which I nulled the Transmit sideband image on the various bands and noted the resultant Phase and Gain settings (using both a 3586B selective level-meter and an 8568B spect. analyzer). I don't have the numbers, but I recall

This sounds like the same problem I had in the past when the orange and gray cables were reversed (gremlins...I swear it!). When I set them correctly, the problem went away. Greg AB7R -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Eric Wachsmann -

[Flexradio] Mute for SDR Receiver

Guy's I haven't found a nicer receiver than the one in the Flex. I have been wanting to use it with a couple of other transmitters and haven't found a way to mute the receiver during the transmit period. I guess anything that would lift the audio would work but it would not be a very

Hi Jim, It was nulling a single tone. But I just went back out into the lab and swept a tone thru the passband - the image (when I detune the xmit phase and gain enough to see it) stays at a constant level. Not sure how stable the settings are. They've changed from the notes I'd made a month
