    Live Flex 5000 Demo

    I dont have choppy audio, its the choppy audio on the video link. Really nothing I can do about it. Well we can see how well it works tomorrow. If there is anything specific you want to see let me know, also if someone wants to attempt a QSO we can try and do that as well...

    Live Flex 5000 Demo

    Yes is does wide band RX just fine, and unfortunately if I try to use higher band width for better resolution it overloads the processor and gets choppy as hell. I am looking at the wirecast software to see if that will be a bit better. You may be able to download the demo of PSDR so you can...

    Does it ever Stop

    Live Flex 5000 Demo

    I just did a little testing and there are a couple of little video's posted. When we are live I will try to go over some of the different configuration stuff on antenna's and stuff as well as the different display modes and some of the filtering. Anyway should work out pretty well.

    Live Flex 5000 Demo

    Ok a few poeople suggested I try and do a live video demo of the Flex 5000. I will post a link for the live stream as soon as I set the account up and we can give it a try. Maybe we can do it Saturday at 12 Noon EST, that might give aeveryone a time to shoot for. Livestream will also save a...

    Does it ever Stop

    I can do a live stream demo easy enough, would just have to schedule it when the majority can watch live and ask me to do things, then it would save it as a video on the live stream site. As for the spur that use to be there on my old 1000, I no longer see it. It wasn't an issue on the 1000...

    Livestream

    Just an idea, but you could possibly do a livestream of any nets for the guys who cant get in due to propagation. I have been playing around with Livestream for some of my satellite work and it does a pretty decent job.

    Does it ever Stop

    I will be using some ratchet straps when I finally get well enough to complete the job. I figure a couple of weeks and I should be able to finish up the job. I dont have as much weight up there as Capt does .. Anyway this strayed from my Flex 5000 but Rob mentioned antenna's :scared:

    Does it ever Stop

    Well Rob, funny you ask about antenna's. Yesterday I was going to change out one of my Satellite beams with a new M2 30 element CP beam. When I was lowering the mast a clamp let go and crushed my hand. Looks like I wont get the antenna work finished for a while...:oops: Broken thumb, index...

    Does it ever Stop

    I am really amazed at all the additional stuff the 5000 will do over the 1000. The RX on the 1000 was awesome and this one is even better. I also ordered a 2nd RX for it and you can configure different antenna's for receivers and all kinds of configurations. You can also loop the RX stuff to...

    Does it ever Stop

    Well I just couldn't help myself and got a Great deal on a 1 yr old Flex 5000. The 5000 has a lot of Great improvements over my old SDR-1000 and is just amazing on the receiver. Anyway the madness continues :D

    ARRISAT-1 Burn Up

    Well I didn't hear it any of the passes yesterday and AMSAT has confirmed its de-orbit as of yesterday

    Satellite antennas

    If you want to work the full footprint of the pass a pair of good beams and preamps are needed. I never tried the egg beaters but did try a fixed elevation dual band YAGI on a Radio Shack rotator which worked Ok. Of course now I have a full blown system with the AZ/EL Rotor and a good pair of...

    ARRISAT-1 Burn Up

    As the orbit decayed I was getting more and more noise. That is probably the last pass I will hear as I expect it will be dead and burned up by 10am in the morning. If not I'll try to listen in again. There are recordings on the channel site .. As soon as my new M2 30 element CP UHF beam gets...

    The RS01S ARRISAT-1 is suppose to burn up some time tomorrow, if you would like to see a live broadcast of a pass today at 1610 EST go to w1msg - live streaming video powered by Livestream I will be broadcasting this pass. It will be a 63 degree elevation pass and should be pretty good. Craig

    TS-2000 Work Around

    TS-2000 users have a reason to rejoice, even though the AO-51 Satellite is gone you can in fact work the other FM Satellites that fall within the dreaded Kenwood Birdie frequency range by adding a High Sierra Microwave 435M7-BFBF down converter. Some of the other TS-2000 users have been using...
