[Flexradio] gain setting?

2007-04-03 Thread Ken Klein
Can anyone please tell me how relay K2 is actuated and when? I can see it sets the gain of the INA163's, but don't understand what effect this has on the overall operation of the receiver. The values of R20 and R5 aren't marked on the schematics, so I can't figure out how much gain the INA163's

Gentlemen; Martin suggested that it might be an antenna problem. Taking that suggestion to heart, I switched the antenna to my IC-735 and just worked Canada QRP on 40 meters CW. SWR without a tuner was about 2.2:1. I then tuned up the SDR on the same frequency and heard nothing - zip!.
