Re: [Flexradio] Transmit Audio Distortion

I don't use it very often, but when I have, I use the balanced connector on rear. I had a fellow who knows my voice listen to my SSB while I tweeked away on the TX EQ until I sounded like "myself." You have to use EQ with the PR40. I wired the cable per Flex info and used Heil cable. No distorti

Jim I have had good luck and good reports from all of my Yaesu MH-31 hand microphones with my Flex-5000A. 73 Al W5LUA -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of FlexRadio Support, Dudley Hurry Sent: Wednesday, January

Re: [Flexradio] Transmit Audio Distortion

Jim, I was wondering what kind of audio distortion you were getting reports of? One thing about the PR40 and just about all Heil microphones is that you should not get any closer than 4 inches to the mic, or 6 inches if you have a big booming voice, the lows will get so muffled that it will soun

[Flexradio] Transmit Audio Distortion

5 or 6 months ago I gave up trying to use my Heil PR-40 microphone with my Flex 5000. Tried front panel 8 pin connector and also the rear panel balanced jack and both produced distorted audio.  I am now using an old yaesu md-1 microphone using the 8 pin jack with no problems.  Good audio. I d

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 1500 Panadapter Display

Tom: If you turn off SR (Spur Reduction), the width of the 1500 panadaptor is more like 44 kHz. Moving the IF setting up or down has almost no impact on the performance of the radio, unless you set it to zero, in which case it will not receive AM. It would still be fine for CW or SSB or digital m

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 1500 Panadapter Display

The Flex 1500 samples at half the speed of the 3000, which also happens to sample at half the speed of the 5000. The range of the Pan Display is only a bit over 30KHz total on the 1500 so there isn't any range on the slider. So how do the settings in the DDS menu work? - Moving the IF (Hz) se

[Flexradio] New SDRDataTransfer Setup Data File Available

There is a new version of the SDRDataTransfer setup data file available. The only changes were some minor editorial corrections. It is perfectly okay to continue using the previous version of the setup data file. Thanks to Alan, NV8A, I was able to analyze a database file from a FLEX-5000 with t

Re: [Flexradio] Voltage drop?

Just my 2 cents but that is a voltage check under load or keydown. I spent many hours on a IC-745 years ago with cold solder joints in the fuse connections. The voltage read the same until there was a heavy current draw across the fuse. If you have automotive flat fuses in the line then a whole

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 1500 Panadapter Display

Make sure Spur Reduction is OFF And you can fiddle with the DDS IF value to something lower than the default 9K for USB modes. You will have to use negative numbers for LSB modes. -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz]

Re: [Flexradio] Flex-1500 at full power?

You can run it @ full RF GAIN. The PA can handle it as long as there is plenty of air space around the chassis to dissipate the heat. Just set the VAC TX gain so that you are not exceeding -2 dB on the TX ALC meter. -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [m

[Flexradio] Flex 1500 Panadapter Display

Is there anyway to move the receive/transmit frequency in the panadapter display? With it set to the .5 setting it shows about 10KHz up and the rest is all below the listening to frequency. I would like to be able to see 20KHz up and at most 10KHz below. I assume that this isn't trivial but I

Re: [Flexradio] Flex-1500 at full power?

Good point on overdriving the digital modes. But my question really pertained to whether or not running at near-max power levels would be too hard on the little guy...? - de Dave, N7AIG On Jan 4, 2011, at 00:48, Brian Lloyd wrote: On Mon, Jan 3, 2011 at 11:18 PM, David McClain audiometri
