I have been using a pretty old Astron 20A supply for my Flex 3000. Has not
been an issue as I normally run pretty low power - 10W most of the time
unless I need to get through a DX pileup or something.
My new 6700 is supposed to arrive tomorrow - like a kid at Christmas!! It

The second one was a high quality cable. Now I'm on #3.
These FW cables must be made by the same people who make CFL's.

The keyer seems to be causing PSDR to lock up frequently and require killing
the app and restarting. Anyone else having similar problems? I am using
