[Flexradio] 2.3.5 TX Profile Mic Boost Setting

2012-03-15 Thread Joe Word
Does the Mic Boost setting now change with the Transmit Profile? If so, I could use two mics on my 5000A, one in the front and one in the back jack and with two different profiles the Mic Boost would turn off or on with the profile. Joe N9VX ___ FlexRa

2011-11-01 Thread Joe Word
It would be nice if NR worked. I also have not found any settings that were useful. It would also be nice if NB and NB2 worked, if you set the level to eliminate the noise, it distorts the audio and brings in splatter from off frequency signals. I hope Flex has plans to fix these issues. Joe N9

David, i do not find NR usable at all, it does just as you have stated, it knocks the noise down and after the software settles down the noise is right back where it was before NR was turned on, changing the settings in the menu does not help. I love the radio, but NR is useless in version 2.0.1
