I noticed about -86 to -93dBm on the RX Meter. I really need additional attenuation on the rx signal to Mixw or DM780. I assume you mean by creating a new database is to delete the existing database prior to running powersdr. Of course that would mean all of my settings for filters would gone

The issue you experienced is documented in the FLEX-5000 Troubleshooting Guide. The reason they are there is that the manual does not get updated as frequently as the FLEX-5000 Troubleshooting Guide does. The link to it is on the FlexRadio home page on the right hand side. http://support.flex-r

The breakout box eliminator (BOBE) does not necessarily use the 15-pin cable. You can (and I recommend) you plug it directly into the D44 card and use well shielded stereo audio cables (1/8" (3.5mm) TRS male plugs on both ends) for the to line in and to line out connections between the SDR1K an

If the bad connections are in the 15 pin cable or its connectors, you need a new cable as well, it is not in the kit. 73 groeten Peter websitewww.pa0pvn.tk petervn-at-hetnet-nl pa0pvn-at-hetnet-nl pa0pvn-at-amsat-org only large files:pa0
