2009-02-04 Thread R.Haighton
When I first got my SDR 1000 everyone told me how good the Audio was; I was using a Heil MC10 with HC4(Local) and HC5(DX) elements. When the 5K arrived I expected to get equally good reports, but I have been disappointed, so have my Contacts. However this week I purchased a Heil PR781 and

[Flexradio] Flex-wire anybody?

2008-07-02 Thread R.Haighton
I have not seen any significant discussion on the use of the 5K flex-wire port. I would like to know if anyone is using this port, for what purpose and how it is accessed. The 1000 port was (and is) very useful (to me) for switching antennas when connected to Suitable relays, but so far (8

[Flexradio] 5K HF Lockup

2007-11-27 Thread R.Haighton
I find the 5KA to be an excellent device on 80, 40,M but am having troubles on higher frequencies with HF Lockup after transmitting. It seems that the transmitter stays on and the only way to switch off is by removing power from the 5000A then re-booting Power SDR I have tried extra chokes on

Thank you Bob for providing that program, as a lap top user; I immediately installed it on my various laptops and found (much to my relief) that the laptops I have purchased recently (Sony) For use with SDRs all qualify for that use. A most useful utility Tnx again 73 Robin Haighton VE3FRH,

[Flexradio] 5K operations manual

2007-08-19 Thread R.Haighton
Subject: 5K manual In great anticipation of getting my 5K soon, I have 2 queries: 1) When do we anticipate the operators Manual will be available? 2) Although I searched the NET I could not find any details on interfacing to the I squared C connections on the 5k Flexwire I/O.

[Flexradio] BINAURAL Effect

2006-06-30 Thread R.Haighton
I note that for some time the BINAURAL operation does not work in AM. This is a pity as it simulates a pleasing Stereo AM. I find, however, that by tuning in an AM station in either USB or LSB and widening the sideband passband to 6.0 KHz. Then clicking on BIN, the effect of Binaural sound is
