[Flexradio] Flex 1500

2010-07-10 Thread yuuper
While reading the owners manual pdf for the Flex 1500, I saw that the Tx output power can be displayed in PowerSDR. Is it also possible to display the reflected power/SWR? Another question that is not clearly (to me at least) answered is can transmit be disabled so that I can use an unmatched r

Thanks Gerald et al. Turning off the NB did the trick. So..because the NB operates over the entire bandwidth..I don't fully understand why that would make the noise floor jump due to strong adjacent signals. Sorry I am sometimes slow on the uptake. Mark Lunday, WD4ELG Greensboro, NC FM0

Mark, AGC operates only on the final filtered bandwidth so pumping from other signals does not make sense. Do you have the noise blanker turned on? That might do it since it operates on the entire bandwidth. Gerald Gerald Youngblood, K5SDR President and CEO FlexRadio Systems(TM) 13091 Pond Sp

I set mine to +/- 200 Hz (depending on sideband in use) and turn SR off. That works fine on all modes until you flip sidebands so that you need to reverse the sign of the offset. We are planning to make this automatic in an upcoming release. Gerald Gerald Youngblood, K5SDR President and CEO Fl

Hi Martin: Setting the IF to zero will work fine with SSB and CW, but you find that the radio will no longer receive AM, since the central carrier will fall on the "zero". So, if you do not care about AM, then OK. Otherwise setting it to 500 Hz, or 3 kHz or 5 kHz is a suggestion. --- Graham / K
