Re: [Flexradio] Power Supply Advice
Hobbyking would not process my order, said the zip code must be numerical, which it was. On the $300 power supply Amazon said, Usually ships within 1 to 2 months, really 1-2 months?

Not one of them have taken out a radio. If you are really really concerned, run off a 12v battery and then float charge that.

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.

Rest assured new Flex owners, you have gotten one of the greatest values in ham radio! Once you connect your radio to a power supply and your computer, you run PowerSDR, you might think What have I gotten myself into? To ease your transition from being a knobly to becoming a Flex'er, we are offering a New User Configuration and Orientation service. We will remotely connect to your computer, configure Powersdr (and any associated programs you might use) and do a walkthough of all of the features of PowerSDR. A week or two after you have used your new radio, we will do a new session to answer any questions you might have. As many new Flex'ers might not have the right computer for the shack, we have a sale for the NEXT 3 DAYS. Save from $55-105 on the only Flex-Ready computers on the market. These computers provide the best setup possible for a new Flex user and the orientation is included as part of the price. Any customer who purchases an orientation service and later decides to upgrade to a Flex Ready computer, we will apply the orientation fee towards the purchase of your new computer.

I want a manual not a license to participate in a scavenger hunt trying to find a tidbit here or there. I'm not trying to dictate to anyone what they do with information, how they get it or how they store/access it but a complete manual with TOC, chapters, etc. is not a bad thing, traditional or hypertext. I have managed software developments and I know that the developers prefer slinging code over documenting. More functionality is nice but if the users can't employ it, then so what. Here I sit with one of the niftiest products in the world, the true cat's meow of ham radios and I have to participate in an ongoing scavenger hunt for what should be in the basic documentation. I'm happy for the individuals who have the time to devote to find out how to use this technological marvel and I do appreciate it when they share their knowledge but if a proper manual were available mere mortals could employ any features available without need to sit at the feet of the priesthood. I realize we are beating a dead horse and units of output will not be in proportion to units of input. Ask for what you will but The Team is off chasing the new shiny ball and what was the new shiny ball is now a step child. History will repeat itself. Corporate philosophy/culture, even in a young company, is a powerful influence and the most likely outcome as regards the manual for the new shiny ball is a repeat of the situation we have now. Functionality will easily win out over documentation in the contest for attention. Sales are effected much more strongly by nifty features than by the quality of the documentation. Wait a year and history will repeat itself. There will be posts bemoaning the lack of sufficient documentation to employ the whoopee capabilities of the 6K series. I would be absolutely thrilled to be proven wrong but don't suspect to receive even mild titillation. Regarding the idea that the concept of centralized and complete documentation is obsolete...

Re: [Flexradio] 5000 Accessories
I am 67 years old and I haven't used my car in a week, too much technology. I bike.I never expected my Flex to last more than 10 years because of it association with Windows. However I never thought it would be done in by lack of a case. It would seem that someone could be found to do it reasonably, but I am not the expert in these matters. A local station did not maintain its tower and it went over in a hurricane and damaged the building, however they really wanted to get a new building and with the insurance money they did. Is it a stretch to think Flex wanted to end the 5000 and found an excuse to do it? I don't blame them if they did, they are trying to make money selling to 700,000 Jack Bennys, I don't know how anyone makes money selling to hams (except maybe food vendors?).

I have local conditions that are quiet (-130 dBm, But I do have a few RFI sources (still to be located) which generate a 20 kHz wide hilltop of noise up to -115 dBm. The noise looks like a camel hump on the panadapter, and is usually on the CW portion of the 15 meter band down low, and the 12 meter CW portion as well. When I turn on NB1 to curb that camel hump because I want to hear weak signals that are affected in that 20 kHz segment, the entire noise floor drops including that hump, but so do the signals to the point of being unreadable. And if there is a strong signal above -115 dBm anywhere in the band, the noise floor pulses to that signal.especially if it is CW. Which renders the NB1 effect useless. I see a similar but less pronounced behavior when using NB2.the hump drops a bit but the noise floor and signals do not drop (good, but not as good in eliminating the noise with NB1).but the entire band pulses if any CW signals above -115 dBm are present (obviously not good). Pre-amp has no impact. Resetting database has no impact. Using Flex 3000, SDR 2.5.3. I have noticed this in earlier versions of SDR, which is why I did not use the features.

Jumping up and down so excited and stopped with a hop. The Flex 6700 in all of it’s glory lay on my table. As I caught myself caressing the Flex Radio Systems label.

So, I set 32, 63, 8K, 16K all to -12dB. The 125 and 4K settings, while outside of your TX bandwidth, may still have a mild effect (if any) because of the skirts of the EQ response for those ranges (I'm not sure how the DSP EQ algorithms mirror analog behavior). Of course, if I'm wrong, I'm sure this knowledgeable group will straighten me out! I use the Heil headset, and have had good results as follows for general (non-DX) QSOs: 125 -3, 250 -2, 500 0, 1K +2, 2K +5, 4K +6 Remember that each little tick on the EQ chart represents 3 dB. The above settings give a fine crisp response with the Heil, while leaving some of the pleasant lower end. Disclaimer: this reflects my preference to avoid the big bassy sound on SSB. You may feel differently. For DX punch, you might try this as a starting point: 125 -12, 250 -6, 500 -3, 1K +3, 2K +6, 4K +9 The idea is to concentrate your TX energy in the part of the vocal range that provides the most intelligibility, and ditch much of the low end that robs power and does nothing for clarity. It occurs to me that if the TX bandwidth filter is not first in the DSP audio chain, then excessive low/high audio frequencies might make things get really strange when they hit the compander/compressor algorithms. In other words, the raw mic audio should go through the TX filter first, then the other processing later. I'd love to have someone confirm these DSP circuit arrangements. ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz mailto:FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/ ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz mailto:FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/ ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/ ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz

[Flexradio] VU5K End of Production Notice
When you are dealing with today's state of the art technology this should be of no surprise. When I bought my Flex 5000 I expect no more than 10 years service. Flex is not your fathers or grandfathers's Hallicrafters, Hallicrafters etc last but on the other hand Hallicrafters radios cannot match up aspects like a panadapter in the Flex. We don't expect more than 5 years out of our computers and Flex is half computer. The demise of the VU5K is a warning of what you are dealing with. It is not Flex so much as this is the world we live in. That said, I still prefer my Flex for how ever long it can be maintained.

If you asked him 3x and got the same response I would not be happy either BUT if he proved his mistake AND gave me some consideration on the price I would accept his mistake. I would not expect him to give a $500 break, maybe $100. I do live but the creed, if you make a mistake I don't pay for it. Many companies and people think you ought to pay for their mistake. I think Flex would be reasonable. I assume before posting your comment you asked for SOME consideration? Burt --- On Wed, 5/23/12, bearcreekcatt...@juno.com Let's see it this post makes it, or winds up on the cutting room floor. My dealings with Flex Radio's Tim Ellison have come to a screaming halt! He quoted me a firm price for a new 5000A with ATU and second receiver option, $2998. I asked Tim Ellison 3 times to check his numbers and he led me to believe that this price was firm. Well, yesterday, I received an email from him saying that he had made a mistake and the transceiver package price was $3499! He said that he made an honest mistake! Where I come from, if a supplier or individual quotes a price and the buyer accepts it, that's a contract. The arrogance of Flex has turned me off for their gear. This is a real disappointment, as I just sold/traded my IC756 Pro III and my Yaesu FT-897D package to amass funds to finance the new Flex. Bottom linebe careful with companies who zoom up to the top, as sometimes they move too fast causing customer service to suffer.

Re: [Flexradio] New Release
The situation could not have been explained any better.I joined this reflector in order to gain information when I bought my 3000.There is so much griping and complainuing that I am about to unsubscribe.Leave Flex alone and let them do their work for the benefit of all Flex owners.

I have held this in for a LONG time but here goes. Can't blame FLEX can you for not releasing the info here? In the GOOD olden days we (FLEXERS)used to be able to help with the updates on the Alpha and Beta testing (in my opinion the BEST part of the FLEX experience now long gone) until people started to complain and gripe about it. Then they let us know when the next release may be finished and if it didn't come out the exact second that was approximated people would trash the FLEX programming team. Now Tim has let it slip on another medium about the update on Face book and now AGAIN every one is bitching about it again. I think if this EMAIL group is to be worth anything in the future it is TIME for a moderator to take over this EMAIL group. If you don't want to join face book then don't why do you need to comment about it. Do us ALL a favor and stop the bitching about every little thing FLEX does or doesn't do on YOUR time table it will ONLY hurt us as FLEX users and keep every thing more hush hush.

Re: [Flexradio] Frozen PowerSDR
I downloaded and ran the program however there is a lot of information there that I am clueless to understand. What am I looking for? Also when PowerSDR freezes on startup it is not all the time and varies from 30 seconds to 3 minutes, that makes it harder to figure out Some have already jumped to the conclusion I am an idiot (maybe true) and that I am against Flex (NOT TRUE) In fact few are better than Time in trying to help, Neal too.

Re: [Flexradio] Frozen PowerSDR
I thought when you said high quality you were being sarcastic, silly me.
One of the dumbest things I did was getting a computer recommended by Neal over
actually getting one from him. If I bought from him I have a feeling I would
never have a problem and I suggest anyone reading this do not screw around buy
from Neal

What, me insulting? I said high quality, and you read an insult. You are,
however, beginning to get on my nerves.
You're obviously having computer issues unrelated to PowerSDR (which are
causing PSDR to crash and freeze), because this is not a common occurrence
among the thousands of PSDR users. While Neal may have recommended the
components, he apparently did not build your PC and install the software.
Since you're at a loss, why not hire Neal to go through your PC, find the
offending software or drivers, and fix them. It could be a simple fix, and it
would save you and your audience unnecessary grief.
