I installed the circuit for reduction of electrical noise on the SDR 1K fan as described here last July by K0VM. Having 20 ohms of resistance in series with the fan reduced the fan voltage from 13.8 to 12 volts. It seems to run quieter at this reduced voltage. http://www.mail-archive.com/flexrad

Ian, check your MIC level-you may have to increase your mixer or MIC levels. You should achieve between -5 and 0dB on the MIC meter, regardless of Drive level. For additional punch try using the CPDR. The latest SVN software has an exceptionally good feature the "DX" control which will increase you

The issue is that we use an audio tone to key the keyer. This tone has some frequency offset. We do some trickery in the console to ensure that no matter what mode you're in (CWL or CWU), the tone is transmitted on the VFO frequency. This means tuning the actual transmitter away by the CW pitch

I have noticed this too. When you tune the flex to 7.000.6 in CWU it is actually transmitting on 7.000.0. Go any lower and although you may still show above 7.000 you will be out of band, and the flex won't transmit. I compared this to my 950sdx. When I tune it to 7.000.0 I am actually transmi

CW modes only affect the way you receive. In CWU (upper sideband, normal cw) higher frequency signals are heard at a higher pitch. As you tune UP-frequency, the received signal goes down in pitch. In CWL (lower sideband, also called CWr or reverse) higher frequency signals are heard at a lower

The "band plan" is in the BandText table. It does not designate whether or not the mode is CWu or CWl, just CW. That is an operators choice (aka FLEXibility) to decide what mode to use. How you set a particular mode on a per band basis (and the initial default settings) are saved in the Band
