DDUTIL can use the macro control feature to control relays through a parallel port using this card http://www.unifiedmicro.com/decoder.html The macro can be set to one of the keyboard switches like f2 or something and that can control a relay that can turn your F5K off and on http://k5fr.com/d

[Flexradio] Save split frequencies in memories?

2009-06-08 Thread vtnn43e
I thought that I would save the 10 meter FM repeater frequencies in the memories. Since each one needs to be a split I set up the first one in VFO A as 29.620 and VFO B as 29.520. Then I saved it and recalled it. The split info does not save and both VFOs are now 29.620. Am I doing somethin

I found in my junkbox. a couple of rg59 cables with connectors on each end. Will the slight difference 75 ohms vs 50 ohms from rg58 cause a problem for the Flex5KA? -- Is infidelity a form of multitasking? -

Frank, I am an early SDR-1000 user and I do some SW broadcasting listening with it. I noticed the SVN 2797's AGC changes that I can only describe as very unfavorables. Even the close in MW stations sound very well with the preamp set to anything but high, since in this case something saturates

Static in the shack can stop PowerSDR from working as well. On several occasions walking across my carpeted room on a very dry day will stop PowerSDR in its tracks when touching the mic or external tuner. Considering that the average static discharge can contain 30,000 volts I am happy that the

I'm using an ARR P50VDG which as two female BNC connectors. I mounted the preamp directly on the back of the 5000 with a male-to-male BNC adapter and then used a short RG-58 jumper with two BNCs to connect the other port. I like the setup because I don't have one more small box floating around

The coax runs are (should be) so short that it doesn't matter because the loss is insignificant. I used RG-8x because it is what I had on hand and could easily put BNC connectors on it. -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-ra

Got a unit coming this week. I've read the KB, I know hot to connect, but my question is: Is the coax use a major factor? It would be easier to use rg58, just from a convienence factor. But I could use heavier stuff if it will buy me anything. 40 plus years, never did and 6 or higher operations.
