[Flexradio] Back in the saddle with the 5000A

Got my 5000A reinstalled into the shack today and took a few hours to do some ragchewing on 75 and 160M this evening, AM and SSB both. What can I say? The receiver audio is simply outstanding, especially as compared to my other solid-state rigs. AGC threshold is now a gotta have feature, and

Re: [Flexradio] Back in the saddle with the 5000A

Hi Jim, I made a number of profiles for my Flex5kA, because I use several microphones, depending on the seriousness of being on the band (difficult DX vs Average lazy phone operation). I mainly use two mics: a Heil ProSet plus headset and a Heil PR781. The PSP has two elements: HC-4 (DX) and

Re: [Flexradio] Back in the saddle with the 5000A

Sorry, read your post again and understand you want to auto-switch profiles with mode. Would be nice, I agree. 73, Rob PA3CNT ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz

[Flexradio] Desensited receive on 5000

I have about a sudden 13db reduction in signal on all bands on my Flex 5000. Tried different antenna inputs, exhausted all trouble shooting that I know of. Any ideas from the group... or FLex? Harry W9BR ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List

Re: [Flexradio] Desensited receive on 5000

Did you try a reset to Factory Defaults (database reset) to see if that made a difference? Did you use the same antenna for all the tests? Did you try the RX1-In antenna connector? Tim Ellison On 4/14/2012 10:11 AM, Harry wrote: I have about a sudden 13db reduction in signal on all bands on

[Flexradio] PR-781 with Flex-3000

Is it possible to use a Heil PR-781 with a Flex-3000? If so, can anyone provide details (pin out) for the required mike cable? I have a friend who purchased this combination from Radio World along with a cable adaptor which is not doing the trick. Thanks and 73, Sheldon VE1GPY

Re: [Flexradio] Desensited receive on 5000

Tim, do users have access to the part of the BITE routines that check RX sensitivity? External generators are not required to check this, if I understand BITE correctly, so it should be easy to verify (internal) RX operation with a few keystrokes(?) Jerry W4UK On 4/14/2012 10:14 AM, Tim

[Flexradio] PC ALE

I'm interested in setting up my Flex-5000A to use ALE. I do not have the foggiest idea where to start. Has anyone configured there radio to work with ALE? Thanks in advance. ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz

Re: [Flexradio] RF in earphones when transmitting

Ron, It is disabled. It looks like a bunch of turns through a big ferrite choke have done the trick, along with a bunch of new ferrites throughout the system. My system is not going to blow away for lack of weight. :-) Gary WG1I On 4/13/2012 9:10 AM, rm2...@aol.com wrote: Is your MON

Thanks to all who responded. It looks like a multitude of ferrites throughout the system have solved the problem. Gary On 4/13/2012 9:18 AM, Jim Jannuzzo wrote: I had a similar RF problem with a Heil headset mic. The RF came back at me through both the speakers and the headphones. Since

Re: [Flexradio] Back in the saddle with the 5000A

Jim, If you happen to be using DDUtil, you can set up DDUtil macros to switch PSDR TX Profiles when you change modes.. It will not know which mic you might be using or if your running psk vs. wspr, etc. And cw does not have a TX profile.. But I find it very useful none the less. When

Re: [Flexradio] Desensited receive on 5000

Another one to watch for. Some of the more recent PL-259 connectors have a center pin that is reduced in size from the Amphenol connectors of many years ago. I know of a couple of instances where that connection opened up while screwed into the SO-238 connector and the signal dropped a bunch.
