Yep, that's one of the things I was going to get around to addressing but never did because the only thing I noticed was a slight noise in the speakers when transmitting and it wasn't a real annoyance. As far as the suggested reading, I'm somewhat more confused now because one author doesn't re

Re: [Flexradio] On the subject of RF grounding

After reading this the first thing that came to mind is the Flex-1500 audio out into your computer's sound card's audio input would create a ground loop unless the audio connection was isolated with a transformer. Ground loops induce currents to flow. Too much grounding can be a bad thing. Sea

Th may be a tad OT but I hope y'all will indulge me just a bit. I have been following the recent post on RF ingress and RF grounding with great interest. I never had any real problems before with my old 1500 and my kit built 50 watt amp. I had everything grounded to a central point with braid a

Re: [Flexradio] FlexRadio Systems offices closed for New Years

Michael, The FLEX-6000 API definition has not been fully decided on at this time, as it is important for radio functionality to come first in the development process, so I can not say for certain what capabilities of the radio will or will not be exposed. I am afraid that my answer must adhe

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 5000A Power output

David, I had the same problem here after getting my 3000 back from Flex. It was totally recalibrated after the firewire repair and I knew that it had 95Watts or more, out or they would not have released it. They calibrate the output power at the center freq of each band, and it may differ at th

Re: [Flexradio] The Flex Insider

Tim (and folks at Flex:) I'm thrilled that a video has been posted about the operation of the new radio. I do have a question regarding the maximum bandwidth: The video demo suggested a 15 MHz coverage. Can it do more than 15 MHz? If so, what is the maximum frequency that it can cover? Wil

I recently sold my 1500 to another Ham, after a weeks use ,he called and said the 1500 was only putting out apx. 1/4 of a watt or less. I suggested he maybe reload power sdr, running the latest version, no change. This is into a dummy load ,so no swr holdback etc. Any one have any though

Re: [Flexradio] The Flex Insider

I need to print a retraction. My previous explanation was technically incorrect. What is happening is that the more you zoom, the slower the frame rate because with each notch lower in decimation, the data output rate gets divided by two. To compensate for this, we change the averaging para
