Bruce,
USB was initially tested and failed for use with the FLEX-x000 radios at high
sampling rates. USB is not designed or well suited for high throughput
isochronous multi-channel audio required for those radios.
If there ever is a color option, I want one that is UT orange (the real UT that

Surprised that Blue was chosen for the Flex-3000
Black or Silver might go better with most laptops & lcd monitors.
Maybe we could have a color option ?
Also surprised that the key jack is on the front. More wires in front.
Glad to see the 1/4 jack, maybe thats the reason.

Hi ALL
I am following the discussion on RFI -getting into the FLEX system / or not-
with great interest.
The "audio RFI" article is great.
When I did my own tests (also www.qrz.com/detail/hb9cvq ) here, I found
there are two potential RFI problem areas:
1.) System external RFI
2.) System interna
My firewire cable that came from Flex has huge firewire beads already on them.
Curiously though my Icom756PROIII and amp works fine and DOES NOT reset the
Flex5000 even at 150 watts.

Burt,
I just had a similar problem using my Ameritron AL-572 1.3kW amp with my
FLEX-5000A. I cured the problem by adding additional clamp-on ferrite RF
chokes to the FireWire cable. I added them at the end where the cable plugs
into the F5K. I had to use 8 additional chokes to eliminate the pro

Right on!
I recently had some issues with PowerSDR intermittently locking up when I
tried to transmit with my 1kW amp. After restarting PowerSDR, I would have

the 13.8 VDC input for 10 seconds). We (Flex support

That version is for testing the new FLEX-5000 driver. You probably need to

Don't get me wrong I do not think the Flex is to be blamed for the problems.
You seem to be stuck with a less than stealer platform to make it work. It is
so far over and above other radios that it is hard to make a comparison. The
fact remains a hardware radio is not subject to as many of the

Unfortunately, most (read: all) was over my head.
It may make good reading for some of you with rfi problems.
I've lived on a narrow Chicago lot my whole radio career, and rf has ALWAYS
been a problem.
I've got most of beat...but it appears occasionally.

Hi Burt!
None of the above is the problem.
I'm not quite sure from your original description of your problem just
what the symptoms are, "stopping the Flex fom doing anything" is a bit
vague. It does sound though as if you have RF issues. Are you by any
chance using a foot swit
After you finish grounding the heck out of your station you may want to use a
line isolator to help stop RF from travelling down your coaxial cable and into
your unit.

Also a good low impedance ground connection between the computer and the
FLEX-5000 itself is very helpful too.
