Re: [Flexradio] Priorities, was RE: New freq, new modes, new power for 60 Meters

The use of the term by another "forward looking statements" prompted me to make the comparison as that is the same term used in stock reporting. Elecraft makes a "forward looking statement" on the KX3 which is why I sold my 1500 which I could never keep working on CW. My 5000 cannot be beat on t

Re: [Flexradio] Priorities, was RE: New freq, new modes, new power for 60 Meters

This is an old, old discussion and, in my opinion, it is time to move on. Flex is one of the most--if not *the* most--open and disclosing companies in the radio industry. In consequence, many Flexers (including me, I admit it) came to feel that we were entitled to know everything right down to th

Re: [Flexradio] Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 speakers

The only possible problem, and this is applicable to the Bose too, is that connecting the speakers to both the radio and PC creates a ground loop that *could* be an ingress for RFI. A good low impedance ground between the PC and radio will usually mitigate that condition. -Tim --- Tim Ellison

Why is it some say it is time to move on AFTER they have their say? You are a much smarter man than I, in fact I would say most of those posting here are smarter than I Did I not say Flex is superior at communicating? Why debate an issue I did not raise? When Flex releases BETA I am hoping it wil

Re: [Flexradio] Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 speakers

Mike, Another method of connectivity is to connect the audio out from the Flex to the Line-in of the PC sound card. You have to have your PC turned on anyways in order to operate the Flex, so there is no loss in functionality by using this method and you get the same "mixing" of the two audio inp

Re: [Flexradio] Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 speakers

Hi Mike, I have a Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 system that I used with my Flex 5000A initially. Although it sounded beautiful, the built-in switching power supply located in the bass unit produced very strong "buzzy" oscillations that populated the 160 meter and 75 meter bands. Using a brute force fi

Hi Folks! Is there a defined checklist of common Windows XP or 7 elements that need to be checked, adjusted, turned off, etc. to optimize the PC for use with the Flex? A how-to guide of this sort would be of great help, but I didn't see one around in the usual spots. Am I missing something or i

The gaming community pays a lot attention to turning off optional services to tweak every available cycle out of the system. A Google search on something like "optimizing windows for gaming" will give you tons of hits and hints. Here is a good example: http://technobabble.com.au/technobabble/h

I think flex was great. A new 3000 has already been shipped! I found where the problem was coming from. This may help others... I put another rig into the amp, started the computer, but not the 3000 or psdr. When I transmit, the computer went nuts, all sorts of things came up on the screen, note
