I would suggest going to Tiger Direct or Amazon and searching for a reconditionedHP with Firewire port. They are a dime a dozen with Win 7 on them. I have bought(3) reconditioned laptops with fire wire port. They all work very well for me. Good success Matthew-KJ4TN

Dudley, I am running 2.6.4. That is just my experience. May not hold true for others. Thanks Matthew-KJ4TN. P.S. I run remote hams.com also. I was trying to put up an antenna that the internal tuner would tune on all bands. My 262 ft horizontal loop should be a good all band

Dave, Thanks for the article. Is anyone using a closed loop that will tune on the Flex from 80-10 meters? The length of my antenna and ladder line length may not be cut properly. I am using a closed loop of 262ft fed with ladder line into a 4:1 balun and into a short piece of RG213

The tuner in my Flex-3000 will only tune a 3:1 SWR. I use a 262 foot horizontal loop up about 25ft all all four corners. It is fed with ladder line into a 4:1 balun outside my ham shack into 10' of RG-213. My MFJ has no problems on all bands. As to my loop, it only will tune a 3:1 mismatch

Flex-3000 (ssb). Is it normal to have a S3 noise level when the antenna is disconnected from the radio? Thanks for any input on this subject. I always thought that the S meter should drop to 0. Matthew-KJ4TN ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing

Craig, I have had both the Flex 1500 and the Flex 3000 side by side with the KX3. And the KX-3 is no better a radio then the Flex's. It all depends on what you want to do with your next radio. If you want to basically use it as QRP and portable then go with the KX-3. If you are married

Dave, I have some comments on the Pixel. It is an excellent receive antenna under certain band conditions. Pros: First, it performs excellent on the AM commercial radio band. It cuts out all buzzing sounds when listen to 540-1700 Second. If you have an interfering station it will notch

Craig,? It all depends what you want to do with the rigs. Yes I have recently been comparing both rigs side by side. As far as in the real world comparisons, pulling in weak stations in a crowded band situation, both are equal. Do you want to use a computer, or do you want knobs and buttons?
