I just received my 5K back today with the VU module installed. Quick work, it was only gone a week.
But I have a question. I find nothing in the documentation that tells me how to key my 2 meter amp. I have been using the unit on 6 meters for several years and merely plugged the amp control cable into the jack that was available. As I recall, there was only one. Now I see 3 jacks Labeled "Amp Relay TX 1, TX 2 and TX 3". TX 1 is Red, TX 2 is White and TX 3 is Yellow. (like old fashioned composite video connections). I assume that the 1, 2 and 3 refer to the corresponding HF antenna ports, but I could be all wet. So, I would plug my 6 meter amp into TX 3, the yellow one. Ant. port 3 is used for 6 meters. But, how do I control my 2 meter amp which is a Commander 2 using a single 3CX800. Is there one for that. At present, I am using a solid state 100 Watt amp for 70 cm. it is RF keyed, so it is not a problem. But, what do I do if I convert to a hard keyed higher power amp? Another question. When I transmit on either 2 or 70 cm, there is a singing sound coming from the radio. Is there a fan which automatically comes on when transmitting on these bands, no matter how the Drive is set or whether or not you are speaking? It's a little annoying but I can live with it as long as I know what it is. Any help would be appreciated. 73, Bill Tynan, W3XO/5 EM00kd _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
