You know, an EQ setup (which is what I presume you mean) is really specific to an individual; one person's EQ settings will not be good for another person. It is best to listen to yourself in the MON or a second receiver that has a RX filter as wide as your TX filter and tailor the EQ until it

Eric I'm using a 3000 on a single deep cycle battery at 12V.I put mine on a timer and trickle charger. So that it charges when I'm not at home. I use an auto-charger that cuts off when the battery is charged. I do not leave it on all the time because I found that the charger puts out

You will not get full power output since 12 VDC is 1.8 VDC lower than the recommended operating voltage. -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Eric Joseph Castle Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2010 6:13 PM To:

Tim, Remember a 12V battery is actually 6 2.2V cells in series, so the actual open circuit voltage of a fully-charged lead-acid battery is about 13.2V. While being charged, the voltage can reach as high as 14.5V, depending on the charger. So, bottom line is that while the charger is on, the

A 12 volt auto battery should be 12.8 volts at full charge. 25% discharge should be around the flex spec of 12.4vdc minimum. the 3000 is speced out at use 12.4-15.1 vdc supply voltage Be very careful with 6 battery's.. there is a huge amount of power available there. w9Ray

I concur with Tim's comment. I run my Flex 5K on battery back-up but use a DC - DC N8XJK Battery Boost Regulator to bring my DC voltage up to 13.8 volts, Bob K8MLM In a message dated 5/19/2010 6:34:42 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, telli...@itsco.com writes: You will not get full power
