I have a new 5000a with a 2nd receiver.
After growing pains ( I have been QRT for > 20 years), including
getting the power company to cure a horrendous line noise generator near
me, I can now use my Flex 5000a and my 80 Meter full wave loop with my
homebrew balanced-balanced tuner a la Rich Measures and hear more than
1KW plus stations over the noise. My utility, The Southern Company, DBA
Alabama Power Company, took only 1 week to find the generator and fix
it and send me a followup Email, once I had tracked down the trouble
and informed them ( I had thought the bands were in terrible shape, RF
noise wise, at first. Kudos to them).
Question: Should I download 2.0.19 and learn the new software or should
I still use PSDR v1.18.16 to learn more about the rig's operation? The
NR is PHENOMENAL and the filters are wonderful!!!
My nice new PC by Neal is a 6 core AMD Phenom Thuban 3.2 GHz, 8 GB RAM,
Win 64 Pro with 2 1 Gb HDDs and a 128 Gb SSD and AMD/ATI 5750 Video
card (shameless plug for Neal Campbell - he didn't know I would say
this). 2 Monitors for extra software. Wicked fast.
I am in love with this rig.
