Did you try swapping your Firewire cable? Also, try plugging the cable in
to the computer without the Flex and see what happens.
Barring that, try the Flex and cable on another computer if you can.

This is the second release of a Power SDR upgrade since the announcement of
the game changing Flex 6000 series.
So, for all those who believed that software for the 5000-series and below
would not be further developed or supported once the new stuff was in
production, I can only say

I thought I was pretty good at this... I had PowerSDR, N1MM, and a plethora
of other CAT/VAC based programs working harmoniously together. Last
contest I used N1MM to key CW and it worked liked a charm. I don't
remember changing anything on the system, but obviously I must have tweaked
so you do not need to worry. You
can also set the time that the auto defrag of conventional drives (it
defaults to 2am on Wednesdays). I usually nudge it back to 3am.

Gerald,
Many thanks for making your announcement the day before Mothers Day. You
allowed me to make a speed run to Walgreens where I bought a box of
chocolates and some fake roses. In the event that the game changer

Bill,
I have CWGet working with my Flex5000 station. The settings are pretty
simple provided you have VAC set up. I use VAC2 so that I can also run CW

give you a hand.

I spent 10 years as a Navy Morse intercept operator. I learned to detect
the difference in operator patterns regardless of what instrument of death
the sender was using - key, keyer, or bug. However, it is much easier to
detect individual keying habits with a straight key or a semi-automatic key

I was digging through a dumpster out behind the Flex Radio offices and came
upon the following information scrawled on a notepad, heavily stained by
what looked like a chili-cheese burrito. It appears that these forward

I have MIxW configured and working - sort of. I have been through the
WIIKI and the program is operating with PowerSDR except that my waterfall

settings if you don't have them already.
Good luck!

I am of the multiple computer persuasion when it comes to Flex. Computers
are cheap. I have two very capable quad core machines that each cost me

One possible explanation is that your house was, at one time, owned by a
radio amateur who went SK. Imagine a guy from the 1930s who only operated a
transmitter using high voltage coils and De Forest valves coming across a
Flex 5000 during one of his haunting episodes. :)

I also use the ARB-704 with between my Flex 3000 and AL-811. It has been in

little relay does the trick very well and it's relatively inexpensive.
I use the panascope setting most of the time. When keying CW, I can see
the characters. This gives me a pretty good idea of what I am keying and a
visual indication of what the weight is. For me, it's as useful as using an
oscilloscope.

Everyone is thinking that it may be RFI, and that's still a possibility.
However, is there a chance that the linear is drawing too much current on
the household AC when you tune over 500 watts? Some of the smoke alarms
sense power line faults.
