[Flexradio] Ferrite chokes and Firewire cables

2009-07-30 Thread Mark Whatley
Could someone help me replace some lost information? A few weeks ago I began monitoring this reflector while building my interest in FlexRadio products. As soon as finances allow I hope to join the SDR revolution. There were a couple of threads in reference to using ferrite chokes on all the

Mark, I would try the cable that comes with the radio first. It did not work for me even with adding chokes. I may have had a bad cable, who knows? I went to Fry's and bought a Belkin double shielded cable. If you look back to my psot a few weeks back I gave the part number. This cable

The chokes came from DX Engineering, available in a number of different sizes for various cables. They make a kit containing a sampling of each size as well as kits with single sizes. Quick order processing and shipping. geep wa4rts On Jul 30, 2009, at 10:09 AM, Barry Jablonski wrote:

I'd highly recommend the #31 clamp on kit from DX Engineering as well. Most of these pre-made cables with unspecified ferrite mixes on them don't do anything below 20Mhz. If you buy #31, you know it will work on the lower bands. -Scott, WU2X On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 10:26 AM, Geep

They are probably stains from rubber feet from another piece of equipment. It is a powder coat finish on the FLEX-5000. If solvents are not removing the stains and you don't want to put another piece of equipment on top of it to hide them, then a replacement cover might be in order. You could

I read why the Flex 5000 does not use a roofing filter somewhere. As I recall it was due to the RX design. I can't find that info now and I would like to find out exactly why roofing filters do not have a place in the 5000/3000. Thanks, Joe www.rothweb.net www.WilliamsburgWX.com
