Greetings. I've been running the 5000A on Win 7 with no problems. Decided to get it up and running on the XP machine. Ran into problems with the install. Tried to turn off the flex but it would not power off. Turned off the power supply. Now the flex won't power up at all...just hear a click

[Flexradio] Daisy Chaining Drives

2010-10-09 Thread Richard Lawn
I'm a new Flex 5000A owner. I recently purchased one about a year old and am getting around to hooking it up with my iMac running Win 7 and Boot Camp. Because of my station layout I need to route the firewire cable from the Flex through my external backup drive and then to the computer. Does

Hi Rick I think my best advice would be to buy a longer firewire cable and connect directly. Otherwise, try what you have and if you have any issues, revert to the advice given earlier! 73 Neal Campbell Abroham Neal Software www.abrohamnealsoftware.com (540) 645 5394 On Sat, Oct 9, 2010 at

You might want to try resetting your database. I had a similar problem on 60m and a DB reset solved my problem. ...Gary Sent from Motorola Droid On Oct 9, 2010 5:06 PM, Dennis Daniel km...@msn.com wrote: ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List

I strongly recommend that you do NOT daisy chain ANYTHING through the FLEX-5000. I would not even connect another device on the same Firewire host bus controller (HBC) that the FLEX-5000 is connected to because the FLEX-5000 running at 192K per channel is consuming a lot of bandwidth. Also

[Flexradio] My Rookie Performance in the Recent FMT

2010-10-09 Thread Jeff Singer
Thanks for the alert on the K5CM Frequency Measuring Test a few nights ago. That test uses two stations to send a CW carrier on 160, 80 (twice) and 40 meters. A FMT is something totally new to me. My only preparation was to calibrate the radio carefully against WWV using its built-in scope. My

I did, and got within 27 mHz for one of the runs with my GPSDO'ed 5000a. Better than 0.1 Hz on three of the four. Brian, WB6RQN, got within 5 mHz on one!!! I got within 10 mHz on a test awhile back. One problem with the 5000a is that the tuning step size is pretty big. Sound card programs

Hi Jeff, For about $150 you can get a used Trimble Thunderbolt GPSDO that will give you a precision 10 MHz reference signal to put into your Flex Radio. Tune in WWV and watch the Phase display. The rotation is from Doppler. After parking the rig at a convenient frequency a couple of hundred

An additional source of error is the fact that the 5000 does not tune continuously. It tunes in steps, and they are irregular, so an additional correction is required. When you are watching your WWV phase display, a part of the error you see may be due to this. This may not be important unless
