[Flexradio] F5KC Ant Config Mode issue with RX1 Gain loop

2009-05-24 Thread Andy Diethard Hansen
Hi All During my testing/investigations ( Goal minimum QRN?, better S/N ratio?, Beverages too long for space permanently available here ) of small shielded loops for 160 80 40m, I came across a potential problem (bug?). I am using an 28dB Gain (checked, matches VK1OD findings on ant factor)

Hi ALL This is a test triggered by the S-Meter discussion. I noticed the S-Meter changes, as should, by changing Bandwidth (BW), assuming white noise. Predicted amplitude change in dB = 10xlog(BW2/BW1) e.g. white noise to RX 1 Ant1 RX1 Tap (F5KC, PowerSDR v1.16.1) 10130 KHz CWU 1KHz/100Hz

Hi Jim, Yes, perhaps a complex EMC problem. I did(and still do) many EMI investigations on my Flex 5000C (eham /my qrz.com) mostly around CW issues. My general rule is any radio that is EMC ok on the inside, but allows penetrations of un/shielded cables ( not 360 degree terminated shield on the

Hi ALL I am following the discussion on RFI -getting into the FLEX system / or not- with great interest. The audio RFI article is great. When I did my own tests (also www.qrz.com/detail/hb9cvq ) here, I found there are two potential RFI problem areas: 1.) System external RFI 2.) System internal
