I use an ancient Marantz amplifier for all the receivers.
Cost me $10.00 at a ham fest 30 years ago, has bass, midrange and treble
controls, high and low cut filters, 5 inputs and two sets of speaker
outputs, plus the usual line ins and outs.
Also, an amp may have 10% distortion at max power
I had my equipment plugged into the balanced input on the flex 5000 and had

The panadaptor display is normal.
I have been running really low audio buffers lately, the radio works fine in
the normal
My Sony laptop works great, even using the built in fire wire port.
I looked, and only the (empty) pcmcia slot is on the same irq.

Hello all flexers.
I am really enjoying my 5000a with the new computer Neal sent me, but have a
question.
I hope I have not overlooked it, but is there any way to save EVERY setting
of the radio?
I have a number of things I use the 5000 for, sometimes its barefoot,
