Sorry, my fault. New software requires recalibration especially the transmitter. Once I calibrated the problem was solved. The strangest was that transmitting turned off my computer as well. Gerald Capodieci <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I'm experiencing random band switching ONLY while using

Hello Alan, If you want to be quick and dirty about it I'd say connect the minus pin of the mic audio in the 8 pin connector to ground and wire the hot side of the audio to the plus pin (or vice versa). I just finished installing an HC-5 into a D-104 for use with the balanced connection of the F5

I have a comment concerning the Flex-radio PowerSDR waterfall display. For weak signal work (i.e. EME work), the K6JCA "skins" version of PowerSDR has an excellent waterfall display when run in conjunction with the panadaptor. This version of the waterfall easily displays weak signal traces whe

Bill, The F5K already has 11th order filters for each band incorporated in the transmit output circuitry. So, not only is your external low-pass filter probably not necessary, but you have the benefit of filtering on 6m as well. 73, Ray, K9DUR ___ F

Hi, Modern rigs all have several lowpass filters in line that are switched according to which band you are using. Solid state linear amplifiers do the same. Your tube amplifiers generally use a Pi-L network as a matching device to the antenna, so I don't think a lowpass filter is needed thes
