ANF works perfectly on USB, not at all on CW
1.18.5 it worked on CW. Somebody else also mentioned this.
Is this a bug? Do I need to file a bug report? Is it a database issue?
Wouldn't ANF notch out the signal you
It would. The only thing that we need on CW is the manual notch, which I
have designed, but not yet coded.
It will be in upcoming releases.

I'm using the Broadcast Tools version of the same thing, and it works
fine also:

I use one outlet for the 3000's power supply and the other for the
PowerSDR PC.
Plus you get a temp sensor and a couple aux control inputs as well.

Clark,
Wow, nice to know someone actually reads the manual ;-). Your suggestion is
duly noted - I'll add the link in all the manuals next time it gets edited.
(If you have the actual link, that would make my life even easier).
Thanks for the compliment, BTW. And I'm always open to

While running the digital mode on 40m with the VAC on, I switched VFO AB
to 2m SSB on RX2. The VAC indicator turned off as was expected since I have
the Auto Enable button checked in VAC setup. However, when I switched the
VFO AB back to 40m digital mode the VAC indicator did not come back on.
Wow, that's some news. Not ROHS compliant? Whew. I'd really be interested to
know why a company such as FRS chooses to develop a product not being ROHS
compliant while targeting a global market - it's not that difficult, really.
The development costs for changing the product now are humungous
Has anyone else experienced this anomaly and if so, how did you correct it.
Sounds like a bug to me where the changing bands with the AB does not trigger
the VAC on/off state based on mode. Make sure you add it to the bug tracker.

I think the components in question are on the modular RF bricks and not the

Has Flex ever represented to EU buyers that the VU module would be made
available to them? I'd be cautious with accusations of misrepresentation.

Yes, of course, you're right. And I didn't mean to accuse anyone. I am
genuinely interested why they chose to do so - that's assuming it was a
conscious decision - which might not be the case, of course.
As the Flex-5000 radio is available here in EU and other countries I was
assuming add-on
That may be a good idea, if only for your own protection. So far as I know,
a company has no obligation to proclaim to the world that it does NOT intend
to sell a product in a particular market.
Seriously, I am sure this is enormously frustrating to European Flex buyers
but I've seen nothing
I'm not sure that it is appropriate for anyone to start accusing Flex of
anything in this forum. Perhaps if you just gave them a call or write them
privately your concerns would be addressed.

How utterly ridiculous. The fact that an additional, optional vhf/uhf module
would be available goes back at least to 2008. I didn't notice any mention
or referral or

It was public info and I repeated in public - with polite words, I hope

Jordan, the suggestion that someone needs to get a life scarcely elevates
the tenor of the conversation. In the first place, so far as I know, no one
has threatened legal action.
Beyond that, it may annoy, frustrate, aggravate, irritate, and generally
piss off European Flex owners that they are
Dear David,
Let me assure you that we are financially motivated to sell our products in
the EU so long as we can do so legally. We found out late in the game that
two of the key PA components were not RoHS compliant. No company can be
obligated to deliver a product that it cannot provide within
Gerald,
When you say 'late in the game' when, exactly, was that...last week... a
month...six months etc

Hey folks just a heads up. If you read my article on using the 3d Connexion
Space Pilot as a tuning controller for PowerSDR at www.hamradioscience.com, I
wanted to let you know that a vendor offleaseavenue has about 5 used ones
available for $49 + $8.95 shipping. This is who I got mine from.
Hi Richard,
Like some of the other I use the DxLab suite of programs with my 5000A.
Dx-Keeper is great and the backup is also great.

Hi Gerald,
If the problem is in the Power bricks ... why did you remove the low power
version ? that would have solved most of the EU issues I guess ?
I don't know for the rest of EU, but Belgian law states that a CE label
isn't necessary on a Homebrew equipment. When you change only one cable
Jan,
Unfortunately, that is not the case. A kit manufacturer is required by law
to test and certify that a kit meets all the rules. Small homebrew
businesses may be able to get by with it but we won't even try. Note that
even the low power version is a complex installation that we only do at

Dave - thanks for doing the experiment! I tried it again (FMN on

The release notes just say FMN mode incorrectly handles audio

Thanks, Bob.
I know I was not dreaming or under the influence of alcohol last week before
I upgraded, the ANF notch DID work on CW. Did this section of the code get
removed with the redux of the CW components? Not complaining, just
wondering.

It is really straightforward. THERE IS NO PRE_EMPHASIS OR DE_EMPHASIS. It
is flat audio.
Incorrectly handles is the wrong phase.

I live in Mobile, Alabama. Is there a Flex 5000a user near me that I
could consult? After being out of ham radio for 27 years, I am a bit
rusty. I think I am experiencing
abnormally high noise levels on several of the bands and I would like to
compare with a more experienced Flex user nearby.
Band conditions on 20 meters and higher frequencies have been not so good
the past few days. How does the noise look on the panadapter display? Noise
sources like switching power supplies for a variety of things will show up
as a hill of noise at a part of the display, maybe drifting around some.

I asked Andy, K3UK if he would add a dedicated real time sked page to
his popular sked site. So, for those of us that would like to work each
other via RF and tinker with our Flex radios, give it a shot.
I've noticed that I can no longer adjust for Rx image rejection with the
software as this isn't needed for my SDR-1500. I don't suppose this will at
some point be re-incorported into PSDR for those of us who need it for our
1000's ? Or is there something else I can do besides go back to the
I am not real local, I live a little east of Montgomery. There have
been several days recently that I thought the radio was broken because
of the very high noise levels on 80 through 15 but a day or so later the
noise was back to normal.
