Re: [Flexradio] The Flex 6000 demo at the Orlando FL hamfest today

2013-02-10 Thread Mike Heitmann
I had about 20 minutes with a 6700 on Friday. There were two on display, and they were running software intended for the 6500. I believe they said the 6500 software was more up to date. The one I saw was connected to an antenna and was receiving live signals. Greg, K5GJ "drove" for the demo, a

Try setting the PC power saver settings to high performance mode and looking over all of the places You can think of where it might be set to favor power consumption vs performance when it thinks user activity is low. I experienced the "loud noise" with my Flex-1500 as well, but not since takin

Two things: 1. Make sure you run the new installer as "administrator" (right click on the installer and select it). 2. Make sure the old cables are not in use by anything. I had that same problem on my laptop and found that windows had "grabbed" one of the old demo vritual cables as a default d

A disk drive failure in a (very old) system we used as a Linux file server prompted me to build a new computer to replace it recently. I was going to reuse the old case and power supply, but felt the 300W supply was a bit under powered for the new motherboard. Looking for a replacement suppl

[Flexradio] Upgrade Hints for a FlexRadio Newbie?

2011-02-20 Thread Mike Heitmann
All, Just received my Flex-3000 on Friday. Got it set up and configured in time to use it in the DX contest over the weekend. After getting over the paradigm of not needing to spin dials and press buttons to run the radio, I'm impressed with it! Now that the contest is over, I'm looking at ins
