Hi Dale! Some PC's share the USB buss between multiple ports, or the USB may share a IRQ with other devices. Try a different USB port on the back of the PC ( not the convenience ports on the front ). If that does not resolve the issue, you may want to try a USB add-on card if there is an

Re: [Flexradio] Flex 500 Transverse Port

When I set up my 5000 to work with DEMI transverters, I found that the Preamp defaulted to Off for each XVTR band I set up. Had to go back and turn the Preamp to On for each XVTR band. Also review the setting for Split IF ( or shared IF ) . 73 Lloyd - N9LB -Original Message- From:

I had this problem when I first purchased my 5000A running more than about 50 watts. It turned out that RF was getting into the firewire cable. I put ferrite chokes on each end of the firewire cable (three loops through the hole), no more problems, now I can even run the Alpha amp at full power
