I want to connect a linear amp (AL-82) and a MFJ-998 automatic antenna tuner.
I am running a flex 5K with the flex tuner installed. I want to be sure that I
connect everything properly so that my equipment is not damaged. I am not
sure how to deselect the internal ATU in order to use the
Click on the BYP (bypass) button to bypass the ATU.

What I was hoping was that I could disable the internal ATU and then use the
ATU button on the upper left of the screen to active the tuning operation with
the number of watts indicated in the Transmit/Tune setup form. Maybe there is a
better way. There is so much to learn about this great
Just click on the TUN button to generate a tuning tone with the ATU in bypass
mode. That should give you a carrier to tune the external tuner with.

That's it, it just sunk through my thick skull. I was clicking the ATU button,
when ever I would tune I was clicking ATU not TUN. Thanks everyone.

I didn't notice this until recently though maybe my Flex 5KA has been doing
this for a while. Recently I hear what sounds like relays chattering when I
power the rig down. It happens just briefly but happens every time. Anyone
else have this issue or is there something here I should keep my eye
The one item still missing is the ability to disable the amp key line
(tx relay output in the Flex) when the TUN button is clicked. It would
be nice to make that a checkbox option in PSDR for those using external
autotuners with their amplifiers.

Add it to the Enhancements database for future consideration.

For remote operation that's a lot less convenient to do than if a simple
option like this were available in PSDR.
Otherwise, you bet!

Brian,
Yep, that is the way I do it also.
I can see a situation where you would want the TX out line both enabled
disabled at the same time.
1. Switch amp to dummy load click Tune to tune up amp (I have a tube amp
-- not rich enough for one of those new-fangled no-tune solid-state ones) --
Let me clarify that I wouldn't expect 99% of Flex owners to be
interested in this option. But some of us oddballs with remote setups
and solid state amps could benefit.
Now if only the MFJ-998 had even some rudimentary remote control/reset
capability...

OK, Windows 7 ultimate, Flex 3000, VAC, DDUTIL, VSP Manager. All working
just fine.
I want to use my TS480SAT to monitor 6 meters for meteor shower activity on
50.260 on the same computer, while I use the Flex 3000 for HF (so why not
get a 5000? That's in next year's budget plan.)
So I hook
Hi Val-- also, I set up the 998 tuner to auto-tune when it needs to. Set
the power for about 15 watts in By-pass/Tune. Works like a champ
remotely. It will be nice to command a manual tune. Eventually I'll
figure that out, using parallel port and extra lines not used by the bcd
the controls
I get chatter from my Quadra (controlled by DDutil) if it is still on
when I cut the 13V to the Flex 5000a.
