DSP works great for me on my Flex 5K. I would not be able to operate without it. You do not have something set right.

Have upgraded software at least 4 major revisions now running v2.7.2 PowerSDR. This is an awsome radio and my best radio. Currently have 2 other HF radios: IC7800 and TS2000 and have had many Kenwood and Yaesu radios over the years. There is one area where the Flex 5K falls down and has not really ever worked. The DSP noise reduction is useless. Over the years I have not seen any situation where switching on NR improves the ability to copy a weak signal. The IC7800 DSP NR is FAR superior. When I purchased the Flex at the Boxborough Ma hamfest the canned demonstration showed incredible signal improvement using NR. So I wonder when the NR will ever be improved to at least the usable state. BTW I?ve tried every conceivable setting on the DSP and Audio config. pages, have lots of processing power and lots of experience with SDR?s. I work with the most expensive SDR everyday of the week at my job: The General Dynamics DMR, at $500K per copy this isn?t comparable but my point is I?m not new to SDR. That said if I?m missing something I?d like to hear from others who may have had a different experience. Again I think this is a great radio just not great DSP NR. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2014 17:29:01 -0600 From: "Mike" <hinr...@gmail.com> To: "'David Edwards'" <w...@verizon.net>, <flexradio@flex-radio.biz> Subject: Re: [Flexradio] DSP NR Message-ID: <003801cf30ef$096f9ba0$1c4ed2e0$@gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" You are not alone my friend...

It does reduce some types of noise. It can also distort signals. I wish it worked better too. I think the NR button is all about wishes. You hear noise. You wish it would stop. You wish VERY hard. You press NR. And the noise is still there Wishes work better in fairy tales. But we have a button. Flexradio included the NR button so we could all wish Wishing won't make it work though. Somebody will have to fix it in the software. If wishes were horses, then dreamers would ride. Yes they would. I wish I knew how to write software well enough to make the NR button work. I just pushed the button again. Worked about the same as before. Let's make it a contest then. First person to rewrite PowerSDRs NR code work so that it works... wins! What does he win? Anything he wishes! I have discovered that there's another button in PowerSDR that does noise reduction and it really works. It's also mislabeled they put the word Mute on it. But I like the way the NR button works better! The dreams get better and better just like i wished.

I have had a Flex for many years. The NR has made a difference and is certainly better than the NR on any other radio that I have used. The NR is not plug and play, nor it is it locked down that those hard coded units I have with very little adjustment. NR is a very complicated algorithm and most noises are not the same. However, the use of the NR and a frequency designed receiving antenna have made the largest difference in my ability to hear things. As for the Scope, I wouldn't live without it. The Histogram is very useful when watching other stations on their audio distribution and is certainly better then anything else. In my 6M work, it is invaluable for spotting signals, although the spurs do drive me crazy at times. As for AM, I never use it as I personally find it a waste of bandwidth, but that is just me. I personally feel that our goal is to get the information of a QSO across the ether and you don't need 5Khz to do that. I'm not trying to upset the AM guys, just my view of AM, while very historic, is just not efficient. It is good that we have so many options even including DV. For those of you who don't like the NR or don't like the Scope, then why are you still using the radio and have not moved on to something else?

My monitor for the radio is totally wiping out my 2 meter transmitter radio ( I do mean this monitor) and I mean to the point where the noise eliminates whomever I am listening to. I could understand if it was a Plasma monitor (they are the worse noise machines on the planet) but this is a led monitor. Now, I admit that this monitor is a 29 inch TV that accepts input for the computer HDMI. I have put on all the Terroids and ferrite beads I can fit and still it does not help. Has anyone had this problem using a strictly computer monitor?? Thanks Bill the Bull Love it. As for those folks with NR problems. I do not know. Mine works Great. I use the Flex 3000 Ok talk to you soon ------------------------------ Message: 14 Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2014 07:10:02 -0700 From: geo...@gloria.us To: "William and Susan" <ope...@rcn.com>, FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] A problem of a different sort Message-ID: <20140224071002.8f74617d3b1a003f00b20fbd06bafa93.dbc463e465.mailapi@email04. secureserver.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 I Had this same problem a long time ago.

I use a TimeWave ANC-4 to knock down the local (shack) electrical noise when trying to work the weak ones. 73 ES DX, Gary -- AB9M -----Original Message----- From: William and Susan Sent: Monday, February 24, 2014 7:44 AM To: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] A problem of a different sort Hello to all, It was not that long ago when we all had complaints from neighbors about us interfering with their equipment. lol Now here it is reversed and perhaps some of you have the same problem.
