The adoption of a SDR point of view continues to penetrate the Ham
consciousness. In articles past it would be me and N9DG pro everyone else con.
There are a LOT more pro's even if it is only mildly pro or begrudgingly pro

In my system, I've found that WDM provides a better signal for CWSkimmer to
decode.
But to use WDM, you should make a change to the VAC setup.
WDM prefers 'Cable range' to 'Cable format'.
I can see a distinct improvement in the scrolling cw in the CWSkimmer
waterfall. It's sharper, brighter,

I agree. And it is very clear to me that the number of average hams who do now
understand the concepts, the technology, and what it represents, is steadily
increasing. And the percentage of respondents to those eHam articles who
completely miss the whole point of it all are getting fewer and
I have been really pleased at the market that the Flex Radios is starting to
crack, the older Elmer-type hams that are talking it up to their friends.
Many (if not most) of the people I talk with while ordering computer setups
have had a very influential person in their ham life recommend the Flex
The approach I've taken is to demonstrate the Flex 5000/3000 to hams in my
Atlanta metropolitan area. I estimate I've demo'd the Flex at various club
meetings to more than 700 hams.
The demo takes this form:
- Brief overview of the specifications
- How it works. High level overview of the
Greetings, Flexers:
There are always those for whom if it isn't right for them, it isn't right
for anyone else. (See Note Below)
There are an abundance of those people in their camp. Not surprisingly,
we have some of those people in our camp.
Let's keep an open mind ourselves and remember
Hi All,
While I agree with most everything said here, I must take exception to the
statement that Flex blows the 9000 and 7800 out of the water. Each has its
own personality and each is a top performing radio. I have 2 QTHs. I use a
Flex 5000C and a FT-1000D in one and a Flex-5000C,
One of my joys is to sit with a cuppa coffee in hand (is this digital
coffee?) and watch the topics slosh back and forth on this reflector.
This topic of SDRs vs knobs is an interesting one. My take is as
follows: I have been active for over 63 years in the hobby and also in a

Agreed!
That's exactly what I wrote about. It's about using another sensory input

driver. power sdr tells me cant find fa-66 driver,not installed.?I look and the
driver is shown in the system,to me it looks like its there. I proceed to
uninstall the fa-66 driver,and reinstall the driver,goes fine
Contact Edirol support if the sound card can not keep its drivers installed
properly. All PowerSDR does is access the card like any other ASIO sound card
based application. I do not suspect it is a FlexRadio problem.
Also, just use the FLEX-5000 and FLEX-3000 if they don't have any problems
There is a known delay on PTT in HRD when PTT is controlled by CAT via a
virtual com port pair. No delay when PTT is controlled by a second virtual com
port pair and all other CAT control via the first pair.
It was thought that Vcom or com0com might be the problem. I have tried the
Eltima VSPD

That behavior has been reported by many people.

In October, and again in November, I am supposed to put on a
dog-and-pony show with my F3K. The problem is that I cannot carry
my 300# station effectively. So I will carry the F3K, buy a 12v
supply for it, and need a laptop to drive it. What do you all
recommend??? I need SSB
A 25 amp Astron switcher should work well as a P/S.
I'll let others comment on successful laptop configurations, as I use small PCs
(like the Shuttle) as opposed to laptops.

Here is my promised update:
It turns out the Bios update did not make much difference in the DPC/hang

I also disabled the Cool and Quiet setting in the Bios.
I am using SP3 and don't run an anti virus program.
