[Flexradio] Dual VGA card

Does anyone have a suggestion for a dual VGA video card for their Flex PC? I just built a new Windows 7 64 bit Porfessional machine and think I will go with two Monitors!! Harry W9BR ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz

[Flexradio] Remote timeout

Good question Gary. VOX also helps you with a stuck key in the operation. It would be nice if the SDR had a stuck key timeout option that would disconnect after x minutes in a stuck key situation. I did have this happen one time when I was tuning the outboard AT-Auto autotuner to go to a new

[Flexradio] Remote operation and New software release

Guys, the new software loaded and works fine. The ALC works now, finally and the output power is under control for the very first time on my 5000. The only issue I found in the new SDR RC2 software was that VOX on VAC does not work. Did I miss a new check box?? It seems that VOX was

[Flexradio] Using Teamviewer Freeware for remote operation

I have not seen this on the net here before, so I will throw it out there. Teamviewer, which I have been using for some time as a remote dektop, was upgraded with some new features. I had not tried them until a couple months ago, but the one that is real exciting is the fact that they now have

[Flexradio] SGC-500

Howard: I am curious why you need to switch your SGC for bands when it is an automatic function of the SGC-500. I own two of them and they work fine without external band switching. I do use external switching to reset the SGC if it senses a bad SWR, etc condition, plus I do remote switch AC

Re: [Flexradio] Antenna relay check boxes

I too have had problems with the Relay check boxes going away on the last two release. I am at V1.18.3, Firmware 1.3.08 and Firewire 3.4.2.6300 and have this problem. It just happens every once in a while and is not tied to any database reset, etc. Harry W9BR

Re: [Flexradio] Antenna relay check boxes

Harry (W9BR) and others, Thanks for your responses. Since you are running the latest release and I have had this issue spanning multiple releases, this appears to be a software issue. Before I open a bug report, I think we need to be able to reproduce the problem otherwise I do not think

Is anyone having any issues with Ddutil causing the amount of CPU processing time to be extremely high. When I leave it running for a while, I notice my CPU processing runnng up to as mush as 80-90%. When i check which program is using the most processing, it is the Ddutil (latest version).

Re: [Flexradio] FlexRadio Digest, Vol 44, Issue 15

If you use a current limiting resistor to both sides of the balanced mike line as, Bill AD5OL suggests, this will work. However, and very important, make certain that there is a DC blocking capacitor in series with the audio input so you do not send DC back into that circuit. I do not know

[Flexradio] Problem with 5K and Henry Classic

Larry: You may have got RF back into the 5K because of a poor ground. There is a radioworks isolator that isolates the transceiver from what it is driving. I had a Henry and had no problems.but my guess is the RF current generated by the Henry traveled through a RF ground path into the

[Flexradio] Flex 5000 audio quality

I disagree that the 5000 audio is bad. I run both radios and they are fed with a common microphone through a mixer. They both sound about the same when I slightly tweak the eq. I run a PR-40, large diapghragm condensor, small element condensor and a whole bunch of other mikes. I can make them

[Flexradio] Audio

To: Jon Valdina W2QYO You will LOVE the audio in the Flex 5K. The discussions were on intelligibility and SSB articulation in general and had nothing to do with the FLEX, except to say that the 5K has incredible audio whether you feed it by the mike jack or by the line in!! You can make
