Hello Flex Forum,
Subject: Ideas for providing an ALC input from Linear Amplifiers for
the Flex 5000 and other FLEX radio products.
“Normally”, ALC (Automatic Level Control) for a ham radio linear
amplifier has been provided by having an analog output of the linear
amplifier and a mated (similarl
One other advantage of having RX2 on ANT-1 is that you can do SO2R. You can
choose which VFO (RX1 or RX2) to set the TX oscillator so that you can switch
back and forth easily using the front console controls.

Tim's suggestion is what I've done at my station. I too would have prefered
setting up RX2 as the 6M receiver. However, since the preamp is connected
to the RX1 in/out ports, you need to use RX1 for 6M. Unfortunately, using
RX2 for the HF bands is not as convenient as RX1.
I know of no easy

The only options for the RX2 is ANT-1, RX2-IN and the RX1-TAP.
Why not put the HF on ANT-2 or ANT-3 and put 6m on ANT-1 and use the RX loop
for the preamp?

Since MS wants to stop supporting XP soon mainly due to Win7's arrival, has
Flex been testing with any versions of Win 7? Like it or not, many will be
using Win 7 soon enough. (I personally like Ubuntu).

Good progress and just goes to show that it can be done. As you push

Most controllers send keystrokes to the program, which requires the program
to have focus. Space Navigator uses a device interface, which becomes part
of the program. Any device that uses a device interface can be added into
