Re: [Flexradio] Power Supply Advice

The moral of the story is that every time you chop some something (like a switching supply), you create noise. It is in the math. This is why the Alinco has a adjustable frequency option to move the birdies. The old IRON Astrons are much quieter by design. You aren't chopping anything. :)

[Flexradio] Flex 5000 in a remote base

For you guys using a Flex 5000, what are you doing if you loose all AC and DC power to the radio? How do you get it turned on? As a test, I turned off my DC power supply, and turned it on. The 5000 does not power back up. As I see it, I will have to float a 12V battery across the power

Good update Tim I like your comment on wireless. 99% of the wireless Lans are only able to accommodate about 5 connections moving data at the same time. This includes anything made by Cisco, Linksys, Apple, etc. Certainly, anything you buy in a big box store. Meru, which most of you have

Do you have DDUtil running? If so, try disabling it. Mike va3mw On Mon, Oct 15, 2012 at 11:10 AM, Chris Seeber csee...@cox.net wrote: Hi Mike, Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried plugging into a different USB port but the problem persists...only different. It shows up under Other

I know this has been shared before, but it is worth re-posting. http://www.yccc.org/Articles/W1HIS/CommonModeChokesW1HIS2006Apr06.pdf After reading about common mode currents, I order about 100 of each (mix 31 and mix 43) chokes. I have them on just about everything as it relates to RF. Every

Re: [Flexradio] New 5000a Owner Panic

Aaren Sounds strange as their quality control is pretty great. I am also confident that Flex will get on the phone with you and sort it out. Just to make sure that RF isn't an issue, do you have a dummy load that you can test 20M on? Usually if a computer up and freezes, it is due to RF

Re: [Flexradio] Flex5k Issue with HRD

Andy It does work. You have to have the following, but I found Com0Com buggy. You also might want to stick DDUtil in the middle to broker the communications. I will also use some sample ports, but I will call them A, B, etc. Baud rates are your choice Flex - CAT On - Port A 19200 PSDR mode

[Flexradio] Lost flex virtual channel

I was debugging an audio problem with my Flex 5000 last night. I had an audio mixer hooked up to the Mic and Speaker lines so I could hear myself as a real time monitor using a Behringer Xenyx 302USB. The problem was that I was getting some reverb/echo and I wasn't sure just how I was getting

[Flexradio] WSPR and PSDr

Is anyone who is using WSPR having problems with it crashing after about 20 minutes? It works fine, then in a TX cycle it will just crash. This is on a Flex 5000 Win 7 64. I don't think that this is a Flex issue at all, but I thought I would through it out there. Mike va3mw

Re: [Flexradio] V2.4.4 can't get the CAT to work

Hi Dave As an example, mine looks like Psdr Cat - Com 12 - Com 22 on DDutil RPC DDUtil - Com 13 - Com 23 on HRD (actually, most use MiniDeluxe) You can NOT use DDUTIL and just have a pair of ports for PSDR out to HRD in, like Com12-Com22 respectfully. I see you are using 5-15 (so you must). I

Re: [Flexradio] Mobile operation of FLEX 3000

Konrad I would forgo the tuner and make sure you have a mobile antenna that tunes. You'll find that the antenna like a screwdriver design is much more efficient and radiates significantly better. If you use something like a tuned whip, it is most efficient when tuned to its operating frequency.
