Has there been a price set for this upgrade? My radio starts about 10 cycles or so down and works it's way up to be fairly stable.

The radio now stabilizes after three minutes and is rock solid from there on out. For those interested inn having the thermistor installed, the cost is $75 plus shipping. More information will be released next week. John P.

As for #2, I have never had the power "jump" on me running in any mode. The SDR1K out 100 watts PEP rain or shine. Matter of fact with the gain limiting logic, you really can't over drive it without having to really work at it. There is a little frequency drift in the first 10-15 minutes the rig is on until it reaches operating temperature. I operate a lot of PSK and I don't ever notice the drift. Also, Flex is supposed to be putting a thermistor on the OX to stabilize it a little more, so this should be a moot point unless you need 10^-4 Hz stability. :-) -Tim --- Tim Ellison ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) Integrated Technical Services ( http://www.itsco.com ) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Toby Pennington Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 5:55 PM To: Flex Subject: [Flexradio] Issues Remaining FWIW.....I have decided to postpone purchasing an SDR 1K due to the following reported problems. If I am in error please correct...... 1. On CW the rig goes "out of phase" periodically 2. The power output can suddenly jump from 100 watts to 120 to 130 watts 3. Frequency stability can vary from 15 to 25 hz while transmitting as the osc heats up (design Flaw?) Otherwise the SDR 1k seems to be an excellent rig with great potential, but any one of the above listed issues is a deal killer.
