    Knobs for your Flex Radio

    I have been running Flex Radios for a while now and really love it, especially since I just upgraded to the Flex 5000 and added the 2nd receiver. Using a mouse and keyboard can be a pain at times and I came across this site recently PowerSDR with an improved User Interface (knobs & buttons) |...

    $1000 MFJ Balun?

    At least it was a nice clean cut, luckily you didnt go deep enough to get that tendon.. I just got the stitches out of mt hand this past Friday, 16 of them, but the broken bones are gonna take a bit longer to heal.. Craig

    14.250 usually has some monster signals from down south, well at least here in New England. They are 20+ almost all the time...

    Flex 5000 and ESSB

    I think Robb summed it up pretty well, its just another way to operate. I'm not trying to sound like a broadcaster but I am trying to give the operator on the other side of a QSO a pleasant listening experience.

    Flex 5000 and ESSB

    I had to make some adjustments on the rack as I was getting a bit of tearing on the audio .. It seems the 5000 is a bit more picky about the audio coming into it. Most of my problems seem to have been coming from the EX3200 Enhancer. Now that I have that completely straight I think the audio...

    Flex 5000 and ESSB

    The recording was done at a 5k wide transmit profile. The Flex 1000 and 5000 are capable of up to 10k wide on SSB 20k on Double SSB, AM, and FM. Its very flexible when it comes to TX profiles. The 1500 and 3000 are restricted to narrower profiles but I dont know exactly what the limits are. Here...

    Flex 5000 and ESSB

    It should sound pretty close Mike, I had a couple of people do some recordings and play them back over the air and it pretty much sounds just like that. I also did a little work on my article and put it in PDF format with some graphics. Not alot of folks bother with rack gear on a flex, buy...

    Flex 5000 and ESSB

    I converted a test audio clip to mp3, there isn't much degradation in the audio with the conversion but there is a non registered logo that's a bit annoying. Let me know what ya think. I don't have the best voice for radio but then again I'm not a broadcaster. Its natural and sounds just like...

    Flex 5000 and ESSB

    Yes I can, The flex built in recorder will record the processed audio but the files are kind of large. I'll have to find a program to make them smaller without sacrificing the quality. Any suggestions ?? The flex saves them as wav files.

    Flex 5000 and ESSB

    Flex 5000 and Smooth Audio with Rack Gear I just upgraded from a Flex SDR-1000 to the Flex 5000A and it was probably the best upgrade I have ever done. The abundance of new options on the 5000 over the 1000 is amazing. I am somewhat of an audiophile and have a complete audio rack system...

    Live Flex 5000 Demo

    Well that was kinda like watching paint dry :tongue: I scrolled through all the bands, found some CW turned the internal and external preamps on and off showed the tracking notch filters. Pretty boring stuff. Would have been cool to try and make a QSO with someone from here but we may do it...
