Re: [Flexradio] Remoting power on the Flex 5000

A more reliable method is to tack solder two wires to the back of the switch. The wires can be brought out along the side of the front panel without drilling any holes. You can attach a switch to these wires or simply twist them together when you want to power up the 5000 remotely. I have operated

Burt, I believe that the more basic a technology, the longer it will work. I have a 100 year old shovel that still works very effectively. Emerging technology tends to short lived.

Bill, When you took the training wheels off your first bicycle, and promptly fell over, did you tell your mom and dad that they shouldn't have bought you that bike? I doubt it. Learn the radio before you put it down. If you actually have a hardware problem, the people at FlexRadio are second to no

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 1500 using External Transmitter for AM

Brian, You are obviously not familiar with the FT-102. A properly modified FT-102 can sound excellent on AM. There is nothing wrong with the old tube rigs you mention. But, they all need modifications to make them sound good on AM. The fact that a transmitter uses high level plate modulation doesn

Re: [Flexradio] Possible AM drive issue?

Harry, While setting the AM carrier level to 100 will certainly work, your ability to achieve positive modulation peaks over 100% is limited. With the AM carrier level set at 40 you can easily achieve 150% positive peaks without hitting the baseline with your negative peaks. Just my observations.

Burt: That is an Interesting use of language in your video. Weren't you the guy who publicly chastised, on the AMfone website, a group of AMers for the use of similar language?
