Hi Tim, well, as I said: The F-5kA *is* showing up in the driver control panel and the driver does not complain about not finding the device. So, in my state of reasoning and cause analysis, I'd rule out the FireWire low-level and driver level interfaces/connections/software. Would you ag

Hi Tom, Are talking about using your 5000 on 6M in the ARRL June VHF contest this last weekend? If so ,the 5000 needs an external preamp connected to the RX1 In/Out ports to get the best possible performance out of your 5000 on that band. The 6M noise figure is pretty high without one, but on

There will be a slight voltage drop when transmitting and a 0.2 VDC drop is nothing to worry about. It looks like you have a well regulated power supply. Due to the smaller footprint of the FLEX-3000, it has less thermal mass than the FLEX-5000 (obviously), therefore it is going to heat up a bi
