Todd, Assuming you have the bird connected via a good short cable close to the
back of the Flex, 42w is a bit low on 2m. Flex rates the output at 60w but
admits few make that power. Apparently the power modules on both v/u bands are
consistently low with output power. I get a little over 50w
Steve,
The v/u maybe discontinued, but unless you heard something I have not heard,
the 5000a has not been discontinued.

HI BOB,
I assumed the v/u was discontinued because they told us they were having
problems getting filters and maybe other parts. I should have been more
specific.

That doesn't mean it isn't discontinued.
Given the appalling history of this company I will wait for a denial from
someone who is actually employed by them and can speak with some
authority/accountability.

Yes, there are things that don't work and funny stuff happens sometimes but
I really like that radio and the bumpy stuff on the back and it rarely

I am trying to drive an amp with 20 watts with my VU5K. I can not get a
steady ouput from it. It will start out at 20 watts for a few seconds and
then it will slowly drop to 14-15 watts after 30 seconds. At full output I
am getting 52 watts and it will remain steady within 2 watts. But at the

was way to disjointed for prime-time. The

This is a known fault of the VU5K. It does not have good power
stability at the lower end. In a phone conversation, a senior Flex
representative acknowledged this shortcoming to me. With the module
being discontinued, there will, in all probability, never be a fix for
this problem.
You can run one instance of a 5000 or 3000 and and a Flex-1500. I've
seen it done but the PSDR windows overlapped.
I guess I need to shop a better video card and monitor now I know I
need at least a 2048 wide resolution.

Why not work around the problem by making an attenuator to knock the 52 watts
down to the 20 watts you need?
A cheap piece of RG-58 or smaller (lossier) coax of the right length attached
to the input of your amp is a guaranteed way to make it work right.
You want a 50/20 = 2.5:1 attenuator
