Similar thing happens with the 1.91 Beta version I downloaded from

Hi Tom
How does your exciter know to cut back the drive? In most
exciters, the hardware ALC does this, and the amp can use that to
command a cutback. But if the exciter has no hardware ALC (like
Flex-radio products), then what?
Incidentally, all the non-Flex exciters that I am personally
.
In thinking about this, it might be pretty easy to detect the ALC
out of the amp and use it to tell the SDR not to key the amp. You
would have to set a threshold such that only shut down ALC would do
this, but the circuit would be trivial.

Agreed that the circuit is trivial, but the interface between that

Only thing I have been able to think of is an independent
attenuator pad between exciter and amp that would be switched in
under ALC panic
a high
SWR to the tranceiver, then that is something wrong with the amp..

Hmmm. Might work if I just open the amp's PTT line with a circuit
controlled by the ALC panic level voltage, rather than switching
in an attenuator pad

The problem is that the FLEX-5000 has to be on to control it
since the control cable is Firewire. When the power is off,

I was a little surprised that Gerald didn't design the new 5000 radio
to turn power on/off remotely by the PowerSDR ON button. Would have
made it easier to remote it. Maybe in the Flex-6000 4 years from now?

Yes, I admit to having done this
Even the Extras among us get used to using only one switch to turn a
radio on/off. The official way to startup a SDR-1000 requires a 3
step process. Ref: p. 130 SDR-1000 Operating Manual V 1.8.

There are other (and better) ways to turn power on and off remotely
using TCP/IP

Sort of like
Does 12V power need to be removed from the SDR-5000 when not active?
In other words, does the SDR-5000 panel power switch turn on/off
everything that needs to be switched?
