[Flexradio] FAQ - Q45

Q45. How much of the FLEX-5000's operation is controlled/restricted by the radio's firmware? Thank you very much clarification. As much as one may like closed source or not, one can understand why this is being done. Just to be sure that I understand correctly. Standard usage is TX in Ham

Thats what I did too. It froze up after 4 sec. Deleting all and starting over did it. I have had to do this two or three times b4. Just be sure and re do all your port connections, settings etc. Cpu usage is way down with this version. It also sounds clean some how. W8XO Ignacio Cembreros

Hi Bob, Pete, On start-up I too have found that ANF and NR both start as if Block LMS is DISABLED, irrespective of whether it is selected or not. Only after unchecking and rechecking will Block LMS be activated. This behavior occurs in both the official 1.8.0 release and in the SDR-X SVNs.

Bob is exactly right. If USB could have done the job, we would have been selling USB sound cards for years. The fact is we looked at every vendor on the planet and could not find a single USB device that had the number of inputs and outputs we needed. We found them in FireWire but not USB.
