No, unfortunately not. The FLEX-3000 is a fixed configuration SDR and as such, there are no plans for expanding its transceiver capabilities to 2m or above. To get that capability, you have to have the FLEX-5000, which was designed as a modular, upgradable SDR. -Tim -Original

So, I apologize if this has been asked before (as I have over 2000 unread emails in my Flex in box). Would it be possible to run diversity reception at some point if I was to use a 3K as my main raid and a 1.5K as a 2nd receiver? Mike VA3MW ___

Mike, Diversity reception is a general category. There are several different flavors or techniques within the realm of diversity reception. Basically, with two (or more) receivers (identical is better) that are frequency locked, you can do stereo diversity. It works much better if you have

Mike, The simple answer is no. What you are describing would be the equivalent of taking two radios of any lineage and sitting them side by side on different antennas. There would be no synchronization whatsoever between the two. For full diversity, every single oscillator in the signal chain

Mark, What is the old saying about trying to put 10 pounds in a 5 pound bucket? ;) The simple answer is no. However, the FLEX-5000 can be upgraded with the upcoming FLEX-VU5K for 2m and 70cm operation. Regards, Gerald Gerald Youngblood, K5SDR President and CEO FlexRadio Systems(TM) 13091

Thanks to Carl, Tim, and Doug for their advice on this issue. Tim, it crossed my mind that the Firewire adapter might have a bone in its throat but if that were the case, I couldn't understand why it would load PSDR, PSDR would find the radio, and the radio would transmit but not receive. But I

The answer is no. The ADC clocks will not be locked, which acts similar to a local oscillator for the IF. Also, the USB channels for the two radios will not be isochronous. Making receivers fully synchronous is non-trivial. Gerald Gerald Youngblood, K5SDR President and CEO FlexRadio
