I took delivery of a new 5000a with ATU 3 days ago and I'm having a case of panic and potential buyers remorse. Please expound some wisdom or talk me off the cliff. 1. Front mic port is DOA right out of the box. I've switched to a xlr mic plugged into the balanced port on the rear and I'm

Aaren: 1. Front mic port is DOA right out of the box. Check to make sure that the notch on the mic connector is lined up correctly with the port when you plug it in. I've noticed that some connectors go in without the notch being aligned. Tony On 10/11/2012 10:54 PM, Aaren Jensen wrote:

Aaren Sounds strange as their quality control is pretty great. I am also confident that Flex will get on the phone with you and sort it out. Just to make sure that RF isn't an issue, do you have a dummy load that you can test 20M on? Usually if a computer up and freezes, it is due to RF

Aaren - The it works on 80, dies on 20 very much sounds like RF getting into the computer. Others can give you a list of things to check, but to start with - you need a short solid ground connection between the 5000 and the PC. RF in the shack may result from high swr, keeping RF off of the

Have you gone into the mixer control panel and set it to use the rear jack? That threw me the first time I tried using the rear audio in. 73, Jim KQ6EA On 10/12/2012 02:44 AM, ke6...@aol.com wrote: Hi I'm having some trouble getting my Flex-3000 Radiosport RS60-CF Headset to work together.

Aaren With respect to your mic situation, did you check the proper box on the input to make sure that you have the front panel mic turned on? You can select either the front or rear mic input from the menu. Terry On 11/10/2012 23:09, Tony wrote: Aaren: 1. Front mic port is DOA right out

A simple line isolator saved my flex-3k from the trash heap. I thought I was going crazy and that I wasted my money. Turns out it was just a little RF getting back where it doesnt belong. Going through this helped me realize that some things in my shack needs to be reworked. I'm sure alot of

I have the same issue. Works on 80 and audio is distorted on 20 meters. I'll bet it is RF ingress issues like mine. Now to determine where the RF is coming into the radio. 73, Robert KB6QXM Ham Radio Open Conversation Yahoo group owner/moderator - Reply message - From: Ken Akin
