Bob and others, Be EXTREMELY careful with some of these menus. Some are no longer used with the 5000, some intended for SDR-1000 and some settings/tests run will cause damage either to the radio or at least to the EEPROM data. In this case the radio will have to be returned for repair..

If you read the QST review this month, it says the SSB transmit audio is simply amazing the best they have ever heard. Also, John Basilotto, the COO and marketing motivator, as a bit of a reputation as a perfectionist in the SSB world so the 5000 was designed from the beginning to be one of the

Hello Army, Does the Heil Pro Headset place emphasis on certain frequencies or in other words not have a flat frequency response? Perhaps that is the key to no equalization in the first place? If so are there any other mikes out there that give similar results? Unfortunately I can't use

[Flexradio] Questions about PowerSDR Versions

In the excellent QST review, they mention that we Flex'ers usually keep 3 versions of PowerSDR hanging around for usage: the last formal release (1.10.4 in this case), our favorite version of the SVN updates and the latest SVN available. I am interested in hearing from the Flex community

Hello Edwin, The Heil Proset Plus has both the HC4, and the HC5 microphone elements which can be selected via a small side switch. I've found that the HC5 sounds great without any EQ at all, and Heil sells the HC5 in quite a few microphones, among them the HM5, available from FlexRadio:

Alan, I use a Heil Pro Set Plus HC4 element and the DX/Contest EQ setting on the console. Stateside stations have told me it sounds great for DX with good punch. And it works. I got Randy V73RY in the Marshall Islands on 20 SSB during his last hour of operation before he left for the mainland.

When you calibrate, the settings are maintained in the database specific to that instance so each version you have available to run should only need to be calibrated before initial use. There is no need to recalibrate simply because of switching between versions. Note that if you _update_ a
