Is there a document, or has someone put something together, to describe what the physical interconnects are on a FLEX-5000? The only articles I've found in the KB don't go far enough.
A lot of my interest stems from wanting to permanently connect, say, a longwire to one port, an 80/40 dipole to another, a Steppir to the third ( and dedicated 144 and 440MHz antennas to the two ports of the V/U module). All with the intent of using the two receivers at will on any mix of independent bands with antennas appropriate to those bands. Some specific questions: 1. Is there a "priority" to the ANT1, ANT2, ANT3 ports, especially with regard to RX1 and RX2? I note that RX1 can be routed to any of the three ports but RX2 is only served by ANT1. (Now you could assign RX1-TAP to RX2 but that doesn't allow the two receivers to be connected to independent antennas. 2. The Antenna Selection Pane shows both "2m" and "VU 2m." Howcome? Which do I believe? 3. For that matter, what antenna selection is possible for 2M if it has its own dedicated port? (Same question regarding selection for VU70cm.) 4. I think I understand that the transverter port(s) are at 28MHz, right? For those of us who have a shack full of 144MHz (or 432MHz) IF microwave transverters, does the XVTR Setup Pane affect anything, i.e., the 144 and 440 ports, besides the transverter ports? A schematic of the HRFIO-34 might be helpful, but I suspect some sort of logical description with an accompanying cartoon (no jokes, please) would be the most effective way of describing the available options to an owner. 73, Skip Youngberg, K1NKR Tyngsboro, MA _______________________________________________ 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/
