Hi All
I was wondering if the two top bands in the Tx Eq could could be
moved down the band i.e to have a EQ setting at around 3Khz, this to me
would be much more useful to EQ'ing your TX audio in the marjority of
stations as it at least falls within a 3K tx bandwidth.

I have one of Neal's Intel i7 boxes that is currently running XP Pro. I am
considering switching to Windows 7 Pro 32 bit. What Flex related problems
can I expect to encounter if I make this change? Do I need a new version of
the VAC software for W7? How about VSP manager? XP is working just fine
I would just go to one of the big retailers and spend $500 for a nice AMD
quad core ruining W7 64 with a Terabyte drive and 6 GB of memory and leave
the SDR box as it is.

If Neal's box is working with your Flex, I would leave it alone and buy a
new laptop for your other work. Cost wise and problem wise you will be ahead
of the curve.

There are a couple of options:
1. Buy Parallels or VMWare workstation (or just download VirtualBox) and
install windows 7 in a virtual machine
2. Dual boot windows 7 on a second drive
3. Upgrade to Windows 7.
The problem with upgrading is there is no direct migration path from Xp to
windows 7 so
Maybe I am the odd man out here but I like Win7 much, much better than XP,
and made the transition to it with PSDR and several add-ons without any
difficulty whatsoever. You may want to run it in test mode so that you

I personally think Win7 is more stable than XP and I definitely like running
it better. It took me quite a while to get DPC numbers down on Win7 to match
what I could do on XP but I am there now (with Asrock motherboards).
The problem is that MS doesn't have a way to migrate from XP directly to
My Laplink experience was the same as yours, Neal. MS stubbed their toe on

But in my view--and even with the hassle of reinstalling the apps--Win7 is
worth it.

Neal,
The question of XP dual boot with W7 is important because I am using SDR 1000.
With the proper parallel card, it would be nice to run in XP and use W7 other
time for other programs.
It might be great if someone did a detail write up on dual boot Xp with Win7
for SDR 1000.
Thanks.

I went from XP to Win 7 64 bit with no problems other than getting the

computers in the house had W7. I grew annoyed at the limitations of the XP

At 60 watts on V and U, it isn't a transverter.
Having a ~100 dB dynamic RX on V and U with a ultra-low NF, yes, the price is

repeaters, then there are better suited and priced options other than a F5K+V/U

Robert-I think you will find the V/U modules were on *sale* for about a year
now - longer than the original plan. The recent increase is probably due to

I am in the process of adding a transverter to my Flex 1500 for 2 meters.
Someone mentioned that I would need an unlock code for PowerSDR from Flex to

Last night someone intentionally destroyed the FlexRadioWiki. It had to be

A 60W power level doesn't mean it isn't a transverter. Everything
about the V/U module design and description indicates that it is a pair
of internal transverters.
Downeast Microwave offers a 60W 2M transverter for $539 and a 50W 70cm
transverter for $599, for a total price of $1138.
The Kuhne transverters I mentioned earlier are between $1100 and $1400 each
for 20w output. They do not drift much and they accept an external
frequency reference.
Nice, but the Flex V/U is a lot better deal, even if waiting out the funky
software.

If you are using the 0 dBm transverter ports, then the FLEX-1500 is already
unlocked.
Unlocking is only a issue if you are trying to use the 5 W RFPA output
port to drive the transverter.

I asked this a long while back but never really got a solid answer so now
that the rig has been out for a while I will ask again.
Can you use the full 5 watts of RF to drive a transverter and still set the
