Just upgraded to v2.6.4 a week or so ago, tuned down to the AM Broadcast band for the first time today. I'm not getting much there on AM or any other mode. I get a weak signal on 1460, 1520, and 1590 but NO other signals. I live near Houston and I know in the past I was picking up AM stations all

Hi Tim, Stripped the F3K down, both fans working as designed. With the case off the temp only reaches around 51c but as soon as I put the case back on it goes back up to 60c+ ... I've checked for dust build up etc and have blown out the cooling area under the main circuit board, all seems clear

Tim, Yes it is an i7 AND I have gone through the recommended sleep deprivation therapy advised by the home team at flex. I also just moments ago plugged in the new firewire cable Dudley had mailed out to me and transferred the snap-open/closed ferrites to the new one at the computer end as

Patrick, There is one other thing that you can try that we have found to work on i7 PCs, but I would not try it until you know if the new cable is going to help. There is a PCIe bus timing problem we have discovered with some i7 PCs. We have found that plugging the PCIe 1x Firewire card

I just replaced the original provided firewire cable with a new one from Flex (transferring the ferrites) and it restored operation to my radio which got very unstable after loading in the latest S/W release. Dudley guided me through installing the legacy firewire driver. It was explained to

OOPS... Sorry Tim, et al... I forgot to mention that Dudley covered that with me as well. If I have any crashes with the new cable I will try other slots as Dudley and now you recommend. I am much more interested in having it work OK than understanding why it doesn’t. Like when being bit by

More info, should have mentioned, this is a F3K so no antenna selection to worry about. I've been messing with it more this afternoon. I discovered that if I turn the preamp to 'attn' it starts to work! Then back to 'off' and they are still there! Shutdown PSDR and start it back up, same issue, no
