What I think is happening to you is the same sort of thing. There is
such a low voltage across the contacts that any sort of oxide film

John I think you're on the right track but the oxide could
be due to different paddle contact metals. Someone reported a similar
problem with a Begali paddle but I cannot find the reference for this
at the moment. Piero once used some odd alloy for his standard paddle
contacts. The

Platinum is the ultimate in contact, it will not corrode when exposed
to quite a few chemicals, medical instruments tend to use platinum
for electrodes because they need ultra reliable connections, it's
Hi Guys,
I have been following this thread with some interest because I
occasionally experience this problem with the SDR-1000. Since the
problem seems not to occur on the IC-7000, I made a couple of
measurements. I have my paddles connected through the key port on the
SDR and not through

Not sure what you are saying? I notice the same thing on the latest SVN,
however the left channel will return when toggling the MultiRX button.

It appears the audio on the 2nd receiver (RX2) is NOT independent of RX1.
If I mute RX1 than RX2 is also muted and if I reduce the AF on RX1 to 0 than
RX2 is also reduced to 0.
I can mute RX2 without affecting RX1 but not the inverse.
Is this the way it should work and will always work?
Opps...the right channel returns.

I heard from a few people who have problems connecting a cw paddle to a
serial port. Some are using USB adapters. Some blamed contact bouce and
some blamed dirty contacts. With serial port keying, none of the paddle
wires is at ground potential - all 3 wires are floating. So the large metal
The two controls that you mentioned are not specific to RX1. They are
overall Mute and AF controls. The volume control for RX1 only is just to
the left of the display controls in the MultiRX section -- the left vertical
slider will adjust the volume of RX1 only.

Hello Joe,
You can control the volume level of RX1 independent of RX2's volume by
using the vertical slider control at the left of the MultiRX grouping
of controls that is located beneath the DSP grouping (NR, ANF, NB, NB2,
SR, BIN). When you do this, then the AF behaves more like a master

I was only looking at MultiRX as being used as an in-band control ONLY
and NOT with Dual Receive.
Only had the 5KA for w week and so far it works great, but a lot to go thru
yet.

Hey to you Bob,
Missed you in Dayton this year
You name the place and time and I'll be there.
After seeing the 5KA in Dayton and meeting all (most) of the fine Flex folks
out there I couldn't resist buying one.
After buying mine I talked K2BU into buying one also.
He's a neighbor too!

Check your top slider on the MultiRX box.. The top slider is now L/R
