After 28 years QRT, the other thing you will discover, besides
powerline, is how much RF trash is generated from all the gizmos most
people have.

Switch your Flex to AM to hear if the sound is the same as what you hear on
your AM radio. I get some really strong powerline noise here and yes, the
waterfall display is pink when it happens!!

Hi Justin
They not only thought of it, they sold it for quite a while! It was called
the 5000C and had an inbuilt mini-ITX Core 2 Duo computer with dual video
ports, firewire ports, etc. It ran Windows XP since that was the OS at the
time it was released.
You can probably find one on the used equ
I saw someplace an SDR that was built into a rack mount PC as an all-in-one
solution - just add monitor and KB/mouse. Has Flex considered this? A locked
operation system (LINUX?) would prevent issues, and they could control the
hardware and OS. Seems like a "next step" so dealers can sell them "
As a noob to SDR and a returning ham after 28 years QRT, I bought a new
5000a (at my wife's insistence, no less) at the Huntsville hamfest. I
got on 75 Meters and I thought the band was in terrible shape ". While
there were no static crashes, the overall noise level was awful. It was

TNX everyone! Always good to play it safe but it seems what I have is more
than compatible with the 5K. Probably will give it a try in the next day or
so.
Happy holidays!

Just to be sure, use an ohm meter to check the open circuit voltage on the
amp keying line. It is likely 12vdc.
Then, use your multimeter to see how much current the keying circuit draws.
You do this by putting your meter into current mode, and then shorting out

I have a AL811H amplifier and AmpKeyer interface that I've used with my
FT-847. I'd like to try it with my 5000A. Is there anything in particular I
should watch out for or do I just lash the Flex to the AmpKeyer using the
appropriate RCA jacks? Any advice would be appreciated.

It is a matter of getting independent test results from a random radio pulled
off the production line rather than using what FlexRadio measures in their lab.
This makes the data presented unbiased and without fear of using "tweaked"
performance numbers. To that end, since PowerSDR is "beta",
I find that the Systems Product Comparison Matrix still lists the
Third-order Intercept Point, Second-order Intercept Point and Transmit
third-order IMD Products, still listed as TBD. I understand that we are
using beta software and maybe they will change, but the 3000 and 5000
specs are liste
