[Flexradio] Amp for Flex 3000/5000

Over the past 3 years I have used 2 amps that just 'work'. with both the 3000 & 5000A. The manually tuned Emtron DX-1d, and the automatic everything SGC-500 brick! Current setup is 3000/5000A + SGC-500 + LDG AT1000 + MFJ4275MV 75-amp SMPSU. The ONLY connection to the SGC is the COAX input & output

[Flexradio] Remote Operation

I am a newbie at setting up a Flex3000/5000 as a remote controlled station. and would like some detailed advise/guidance. Possibly by direct email or Skype call so as to not take up much bandwidth on the forum? The plan is to establish a station at a friends QTH in Nadi Fiji and operate it from Au

[Flexradio] MMTTY vs FLdigi

Hi all. I completely disagree with the comments against FLdigi. and it is based on recent experience running HUGE pileups on RTTY and PSK31 from 3D2A.using my Flex5000A with PSDR2 By setting the DIGL and DIGU filters with CUSTOMISED bandpasses. using 1000Hz as the CF for PSK31 with 50Hz bandwith,

[Flexradio] MMTTY vs FLDIGI

Why 'upgrade' to MMTTY? FLDIGI is far superior, so IMHO migrating to MMTTY is a step downward. I used MMTTY from its beginning.and last year made the switch to FLDIGI. It was like swapping my Ford sedan for a Ford Mustang!! Start and STAY with FLdigi.just remember to download and install the dr

[Flexradio] Notch Filter and PB tuning?

change the LOW to 300HZ, the HIGH to 2900HZ, and boosted the center spectrum by one level. Used minimal compression. Mic was Heil H5 element. A Flex-Radio will be my ONLY rig on future dxpeditions.but, I will probably like to get a 3000 and leave the 5000 at home. Eddie DeYoung Eddie VK4AN 3D2A

[Flexradio] SWR Not working on TX but OK On Tune.

Not sure why.probably something I have not set correctly. Some suggestions appreciated. On TUNE it reads SWR just fine. On TX it simply reads 0.0 Eddie Eddie VK4AN 3D2A Manager Pacific-DXers Tell me, and I will listen. Show me, and I will understand. Involve me, and I will learn. old Am

[Flexradio] firewire compatibility...or not!

A lot of interesting information has been generated by this thread.I think that everyone is aware of the 'list' of known good/bad interfaces. An excellent point was made as regards using ETHERNET as a demonstrated workable interface method.something the Flex-Radio Engineers might consider/be consi

[Flexradio] firewire compatibility...or not!

Thanks for the links regarding other manufactured products with "firewire" compatibility issues...I couldn't find them in my previous search... I guess a lot of readers would classify my previous, long email, as 'ranting'... (even though it wasn't in CAPS very much!) and I respect their opinions..

[Flexradio] firewire compatibility...or not!

Hi All, I have been using my F5KA for over a year on an old Toshiba laptop. Keyboard was damaged by my cockatoo, so I decided to get a new laptop. I did a lot of research, and settled on a 'high-end' Toshiba Qosmio X505 with 18" screen, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 1GB dedicated video DDR5 VRAM, i5 processor.

[Flexradio] DICE(y) problem?

Wow...did we get off the topic on this one! 90% of the replies were of absolutely NO VALUE in helping me resolve the problem. In future, maybe you all can start a NEW TOPIC when getting so far off track? The only useful advice I got was to run the driver using administrator, which I did, and it

[Flexradio] DICE(y) problem?

Hi techheads...Got an unusual (for me) problem... Got another laptop for dxpedition, but the PSDR 2 stopped working. Laptop is Acer Aspire 5520, 4GB RAM, 500MB HDD, Intel 2GHZ dual core processor, firewire. When I first installed it, there was no problem... worked a few stations on CW and SSB OK

[Flexradio] USB3 & laptop FW Suggestions

THANKS to everyone who responded. Won't continue the thread any further! I am now better informed about USB3 and will be buying one of the suggested laptops with firewire. BTW...My old Toshiba Tecra P4 internal firewire connection works fine with PSDR2 (except for the video 'freezing') which I b

Hi Terry, Thank you for the guidance... Although I am in Australia, the exchange rate is really good (for us!) at the moment, and I might import one. Hi Peter, I accept that USB(3) is very different from firewire... It is just a fact of life that firewire is slowly fading into the sunset and an a

[Flexradio] USB3 USB3 USB3

I just couldn't keep quiet now that a new kid has entered the fray of connectivity! USB3... is now creeping onto most new home and laptop PC's... and IEE1394a is disappearing from all but the 'top end' laptops. I cannot find ANY 'firewire' devices that will connect to a modern laptop... and

[Flexradio] CW 'dead' 'useless' ??

A recent comment (said in jest??) inferred to CW as 'dead/useless'... That hit a raw nerve with me... Even in today's world of sophisticated radio equipment and systems, I can relate a short story of how CW was the ONLY mode that was able to be used to save the life of a Russian Antarctic expediti
