I have found that the F3K really doesn't need a preamp like the F5K does for
weak signal work, but if you must use one, I would recommend a mast-mounted
preamp with variable gain so that you don't overload the F3K front end. I am
partial to SSB preamps. A bit pricey, but well made and hold up
I don't have any tips on the VOX sensitivity. Sorry. Maybe once the current
round of DSP improvements are made, then the VOX and the noise gate will get
some attention to tweak them up a bit.

The fact that you get RF in the shack and on 75 and 40 into any rig is a dead
giveaway that RF is coming in on the antenna I tihnk in the end it will prove
to be that alpha delta antenna that is the culprit

While I am an incredibly happy WN-2 owner, you can also order the
array solutions power meter when you order your new Flex radio. I am
not so familiar with the Array Solutions meter but I believe it has
some of the programming capabilities of the WN-2, check it out!

I agree that the released versions of DDUtil, VAC, etc. are not experimental
when running on SUPPORTED operating systems. However, if one is trying to

No, there is not.
At this time there is only one FlexRadio Systems Reflector. In the future,
software development and experimental code testers will have their own

Bob,
I think you're on to something.
With AGC at slow, medium, or long, there is a noticeable lag. It may be
different length of time within those three, my ears aren't calibrated
enough to say for sure.
With AGC at fast or fixed, there is no perceptible (to me) lag.
In all cases, any lag
It's not a problem. It is just the AGC itself. AGC changes in AGC-T are
just following the AGC rate.

Hi Guys,
I just had to chime in about the idea of splitting up the reflector. I really
look forward to my daily digest from Flex that ranges from the beginner to the
developers of the SVN software. We have excellent support from staff at

Do we really want to split their time
That's good. However we're talking about direct I/Q output of RX2, not
audio.

The flex 3000 does not have a RX only port available so you will have
to get a preamp with relays to switch tx rf around the preamp so you

Until RX2 gets full VAC access, those wanting to use it for more than
just listening will probably use a stereo cable.
