Hi Folks,
With the occasional requests for support here on the reflector, I thought that
it would be appropriate to Thank the Flex Radio team for a job well done! My
Flex 5000A works just great with the latest software and firmware with
absolutely no problems!
I wanted to specifically Thank
Tim,
Thanks for the reply.
Before purchasing the Flex I discussed the issue of remote power with
Matt - he brought up the "wedged" power switch as the solution. As an
engineer, I didn't like this solution and asked whether the factory
could bridge the power switch with a link before shipping the
Do a hardware reset (http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50350.aspx),
upgrade to v1.18.1 and create a new database.

PTT doesn't start XMIT. MOX works OK, TUN works, but shows emission

Stu,
You are right. Hardware PTT is inhibited when you power on the radio using the
permanently depressed power button configuration on the FLEX-5000.
But, I do not think this behavior can classified as a bug per se, because there
is no defined design requirement for the radio to work with t

As advised by Flex, to be able to remotely control the power to the

The Norton anti-virus 2009 version has received good reviews. It
received a major overhaul for performance issues. I purchased it dirt
cheap after rebates to run on the Windows XP PRO partition with my

Thanks for all the pointers guys! I took the AGC-T down to 92 (the
default at 90 was just a tad too low for me) and everything is working
well. I notice a considerable difference when I go from the ARR preamp,
no preamp and the Power SDR preamp. The ARR P50VDG really pulls weak

I'll also vote for Shuttles. I have had three of them and my current
Core II Duo box runs PowerSDR very nicely. They are small and *very*
quiet -- almost silent, in fact.

This is TERRIFIC information. Given the low cost of desktops these days, I
could have saved myself the pain by just getting one instead of trying to
make this laptop work properly.
Keep up the GREAT work at Flex!

I did a quick look around the knowledge base but could not find what was in
firmware version 1.2.5.5 for my Flex 3000, and yes I realize that after running

I'd like to read that before I do the update.

That's interesting Dudley. I bought a Belkin SOHO

The only thing I do is make sure that when I'm booting

I have found Eset Nod32 (or their new security suite) is the only one
that doesn't seem to affect SDR operation.

You might check to see if you have any sort of firewall program running on your
computer and if so disable it.
Humm. That is interesting. So you installed a RICOH driver for the 1394

Is this controller by change a combo 1394a and "b" card?
