MultiRX and mixed modes

John-N2NQ — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 07:29:37 GMT

...I'm thinking about getting a FLEX-3000...

If using headphones and MultiRX on a FLEX-3000, can I listen to CW on 14.100 in one ear and SSB on 14.2XX in the other ear?

Tnx & 73,

USB3.0

kb9bny — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:06:03 GMT

I am strongly thinking about buying a Flex 3000. The only thing that concerns me is that the radio is tied to Firewire 400 (which is rapidly falling out of vogue with the introduction of USB 3.0). Are there any plans to update the radio with USB 3.0?

I read on the reflector that someone even suggested Gigabit Ethernet. GigE would future proof the radio even more. I would hate to have to discard a completely good radio 5-7 years from now because I can't get Firewire 400 anymore.

Firewire card for a newer Lap Top

KB2RSK — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 06:10:10 GMT

The newer Lap Tops that I have seen on the market do not have a Fire Wire (1394) port on them.

In order for me to use my Flex 3000 with a newer lap top, how would I adapt this to acept the firewire 1394 cable?

Is their a USB adapter or an external card that can be used ?

Use of a 2m/10m-transverter with a max. rf-input of 5 Watts!

DK8PB — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 12:07:08 GMT

I am a proud owner of the Flex-3000 and want to use it for 2m-SSB. My choice is the ME2HT-Pro transverter for doing this job.
Now my question: What can I do to be absolutely sure that I never give more than 5 Watts rf-power on the IF-Input of the transverter? Otherwise I would have killed it immediately.
Do anyone have a suggestion or any experience?
Thanks a lot!

Flex-3000 ATU fails to tune

dafuser — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 18:44:46 GMT

I have a Flex-3000 that was working perfectly yesterday. I made a few RTTY
contacts using the Flex-3000 and DM780 during the WW RTTY contest

Today when I tried to do some PSK31, the ATU failed to tune the antenna and went
into bypass.

I reset the Flex-3000 back to factory defaults. I reconfigured the Flex back to
my normal settings and tried tuning into the antenna and also tried to tune into a
dummy load and the ATU still fails to tune.

I don't hear the normal relays clicking as the tuner is working when I click the Tune button.
I would think it would try to tune into the dummy load and then just go into the bypass
mode since the SWR on the dummy load is so low. But the tuner runs for a minute or so
and then says it failed to tune just like it does when connected to my Titan-DX vertical.

I connected the Titan-DX to my IC-7000 with a IT-100 antenna tuner and the IC-7000
is able to tune properly. I made a couple of SSB contacts on 12 meters and 40 meters
with no problems so the Titan-DX antenna seems fine.

Since the Flex fails to tune with the antenna ( GAP Titan-DX vertical) or a dummy
load, does it mean something in the Flex has failed?

Using a Flex3000 remotely?

N7OXF-Dale — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 22:29:19 GMT

Perhaps this found in the manual (or forums) but I haven't seen it.

I would like to know if I can connected remotely to a Flex3000 at my home. For example could I connect to my home computer and system and run the radio remotely from my work system?

There will probably be firewall issues since at home I have: 1) a router on my side of the cable modem; 2) the firewall on my computer; and last 3) the virus protection software on my computer. I should be able to configure all of this.

If it works like EchoLink does, I haven't been able to use that system without going through a Proxy server for some reason? I have checked all phases (the 3 above) and it still won't work. This leads me to worry that it might not work for the flex either, unless it uses a different mechanism than port Forwarding which doesn't seem to be reliable.

Any pointers, thoughts, links to documents or threads are appreciated. Dale, N7OXF

Flex 3000- Power SDR 2.2.3 Freezes

Hank — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 22:27:09 GMT

I am using a Sony Laptop, Intel i5 processor with SIIG Firewire 2 port ExpressCard.

I have loaded PWR SDR 2.2.3 and the flex-firewire driver 3.5.0.7171.exe.
I have tried most of the fixes posted in this forum but to no avail. After a few minutes PWR SDR freezes, no audio, no RF and water fall just streaks scrolling. By restarting the PWR SDR it resets, good for another few minutes.
It is frustrating. This Flex 3000 worked fine on my desktop. I was planning to take it along on my trips throughout North America and Europe.

Delayed audio using headset

mblaine — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 16:25:57 GMT

I am using a Proset Plus headset with my Flex 3000 and would like to monitor my transmit audio while using the headset. However, the transmitted audio heard in my headset is a fraction of a second behind the real time audio. Suggestions?

Transmit spikes

W2BLC — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 14:30:52 GMT

In the middle of December I took delivery of a new 3000. Love the receiver, but
do not get along with the transmitter.

Support ran me through all kinds of testing and interactive connections, then
sent me a replacement radio. The replacement radio has the same symptoms:

When using ANY microphone plugged into front of the 3000, there is a variable
XMIT spike that shows on my peak reading meters (two different meters at
different locations along the RF path. The start decay point runs from a few
Watts to over 60 Watts. With ANY microphone plugged in the front of the 3000 and
using a foot PTT (plugged into the rear of the 3000) there is a much smaller
spike - typically showing under one Watt or less on the meters. When keyed from
the MOX button with a mouse click, the effect is the same as the rear PTT
connection. I even purchased a new Yaesu MH-31 to test with.

If I did not have the peak reading meters I might never have noticed this
problem - then wondered why my amp smoked. Yes, the spikes cause spikes from my
tube amplifier - which can be seen when watching the meters on the amp.

The spikes occur on all bands and the antennas are well away from the house (I
live in the country). I have never had a similar problem with any other
transmitter in my 50+ years of hamming. The spikes can be seen on a remote
receiving scope, are reported to be instantaneously as strong as my SSB signal,
and are heard as a thumping sound.

To date I have spent over 40 hours configuring/reconfiguring my station,
exchanged over sixty emails with support, spent time on the telephone with
support, bought $175 of unneeded extra microphones and adapter cables, and spent
nearly $50 to return the first 3000.

The entire station is grounded per directions/recommendations of Flex. I have
tried beads on everything - plenty of them (more time and money). Various
configurations of the station have been tried - amplifier, wiring, location, and
antenna wise. At no point has the problem abated!

I have put the purchase of a solid state amplifier on hold, as I am sure this
spike will not be healthy for it.

My questions:

1. Anyone out there have a sure-fire fix for this?
2. Anyone know of other instances of spikes - (I have been lead to believe that
I am the only ham having this problem)?

Thanks,

Bill W2BLC

The cure for all RF problems

NB3K — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 18:35:02 GMT

This is my e-ham review [Seconded Review]

This is my second review. As for the perfomance of the receiver, this rig gets the highest marks BAR NONE! Well, the Flex 5000, is just a hair better, but there we are splitting hairs.

I am writing this review to persuade my fellow hams to GET RID OF THAT COAX!!!!! I was getting RF on my audio, and I was going nuts. Everytime I would turn on the amp, I would want to throw up. I was just disgusted. Until one night I was on 75m, using my PROIII, and having a chat with a friend that told me to go with a balanced feedline. Now I know, you folks are going to say that won't work it will just add RF.

Wrong, I am using a dual run of RG-6 coax. I am using the two center conductors as a balanced feed line. The braids of the two coaxes are twisted together, and the end of the twisted braid that is going to my shack is going to ground. At the apex the braid is twisted and sealed with liquid electrical tape. ALL MY RF IS GONE. MY SIGNAL IS HUGE! My sheilded balanced feedline lays right next to my RF proned Berhinger audio rack and the Flex 3k. Like I said NO RF!!!!

The other night I was on 160m with my 80m dipole and I fed a kilowatt into the antenna system WITHOUT ANY RF ISSUES!

Bottomline:
Balanced feedlines are the best. Coax sucks. I could careless about SWR. Reflected power always radiates. Get out of your indoctrination about 1/2 wave antennas and coax. Hams from yesteryear would say your crazy for using coax, and I agree!

Now I highly suggest all Flex users to get rid of your coax. Go and get a 1000' spoil of dual run RG-6 coax. Use the two center conductors as a balanced feedline, and twist the two braids of the coaxes together. The one end of the feedline that goes into the shack tie that to the tuners ground lug. At the apex of your antenna twist the braids and seal them from the elements. You will now enjoy not having rf issues! Remember with an unbalanced feedline, there is always some rf coming down on the outside of the braid. This is where are problem is. TRUST ME FOLKS IT WORKS!!!!

Keying Buffer

VA3WTB — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 09:53:46 GMT

Hi I read that many use a keying buffer on the Flex 5000. Is it also needed on the 3000? Thinking of getting the Amaritron buffer. I have used my f3000 for about a year now without one, but maybe I should buy one.

Flex 3000 Audio Output settings

KM4VX — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 17:06:07 GMT

I can't seem to find the correct settings for the Flex SSB audio output. I have an Elecraft K3 and the Flex. I use a 40 meter dipole, and when I transmit on the K3 I get great signal reports. With the Flex no one seems to hear me using the same antenna and 90 watts output. I believe the numerous settings on the Flex are being misused by me. When I use the monitor the audio is badly distorted when using the mic gain above 15. I would be interested in what settings other might be using to get a decent ssb signal out. I am using the headset mic sold by Flex. Thanks for any input. Ron

Flex 3K cooling

KZ1R — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 07:09:41 GMT

Howdy,

I recently ran my Flex 3K in CW beacon mode on 6m band for about 1 hour in reduced power mode (about 40W output). After I got back to the shack I realized that casing of the radio was 'red hot'. I think the temperature was like 90C or so.

Of course the in-built fans were all running at full power.

Any ideas how I can modify cooling system of my Flex so that I don't have the temperature ever go up as high as 70C or so????

Thanks

Echolink, Echo TC & HRD

N3PZT — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 20:26:57 GMT

Has anyone been able to get either their F3K or F5K to work with Echo TC? If you're not familiar with Echo TC see the following webpage:
http://www.qsl.net/zl2sea/EchoTC/EchoTC.html. Basically, this program allows you to port Echolink to HF.

I've tried ever combination of VSP, using either vCOM or com0com, for both CAT and PTT control.
I can get PSDR and HRD to work together fine and I can get Echolink and Echo TC to work together fine.
However, audio coming in via Echolink will not key the F3K nor will audio coming in via the F3k key Echolink.
I just can't get the two pieces, PSDR/HRD and Echolink/Echo TC, to talk to each other. I've traded emails back-n-forth
with Nigel, the developer of Echo TC, but I'm still at a dead end.

Will Yaesu MD100A8X work or better mic?

designer — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 21:48:44 GMT

Though the Flex quickstart manual show wiring for their mic input, amazing but true, the document that comes with the Yaesu mic does not.
Google sent me to a Mods URL and I saw something there but the terms for the various pins didn't mesh with the flex.

I'm look for a plug-n-play, not interested in trying to wire up an RJ-45.

Even if I can't use the MD100Z8X filter (thought the 5V+ from Flex looks like the power is there if the pins are right) I want to be sure it won't shot anything when plugged in. Remember when Mics were just Mics :) The mic's impedance is 500 ohms.

I could probably send it back to universal radio for a more compatible model - if I know what that would be.

Any advice/suggestions appreciated.

Keyboard shortcut - temp and voltage

allenfr — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 19:28:48 GMT

Somewhere I've recently seen a shortcut, cntrl something something that popped up
a small window that showed voltage and temp for the Flex. I read it, tried it, thought it was neat. And of course
thought I'd never forget it!

And if there is one, there must be more tidbits?

Flex-3000A PSDR v2.2.3 Wave

oe8pck — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 04:16:33 GMT

Hi I am a new owner of the above mentioned SDR TRX.

I am very happy with the performance. :)

One thing has be bugging me for a while. When I use the wave to record a QSO part I would like to retransmit it back to the QSO partner. When I try this the PTT trips but no modulation comes out.

Would someone be so kind as to explain step by step how I record the qso and then play back what I have recorded to the QSO parnter. I believe this is possible but I am not sure.

Many thanks your your time in advance.

Flex Radio 3000 and CAT PTT interface for MMTTY

N6PAA_Ron — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 11:21:31 GMT

All:

Interface settings are not working for me in Windows 7 sound or MMTTY v1.68a. I have reviewed several How To video presentions on Digital Modes using YouTube, FlexRadio knowledge base and all the Google searches I can think of. When ever I open MMTTY I'm told that com ports are not working and there is no sound card. My version of MMTTY sound card options are only "computer sound card" or "MixW". One website reference for MMTTY setup: http://flexradiowiki.com/frsradoiowiki/index.php?title=MMTTY

My question is, are there more than 2 issues here, one might be the MMTTY Device ID for the sound card and second is selection of the correct Windows 7 sound Playback and Record setting. I'm sorry but, I'm going to need some outside help on this.

VAC v4.10, com0com v2.2 and PSDR v2.2 audio and VAC are set properly AFAIK. MMTTY is version 1.68a. PC = 1Tb HD, 8Gig memory, Windows 7 SP1 OS, Monitor = 23" LED display. Firewire card = Rosewill 1394a Model RC 504.

Would very much like to hear from Flexers who have a working MMTTY and F3K interface and can provide some much needed tips either on forum or off-line.

Thanks for looking. 73, Ron n6paa

BNC rear socket shows short circuit

tedsws333 — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 09:32:21 GMT

Hi everyone.

On checking my Antenna system I found it to be open circuit but further investigation
showed it to be the rear bnc socket on the flex3000 is this correct.
Is it possible for one of you flex3000 owners to put a meter on your BNC socket
and check this out for me Please

I have emailed Tech support EU and US but still have had no response

Simple use of the Flex3000?

W2BLC — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 19:05:59 GMT

I have been lurking here and other Flex boards. Although I have learned a lot about the capabilities of the 3000, I am amazed at the complex operations some operators do. All kinds of specialized programs, virtual com ports, point and shoot - and so much more.

This begs the question: Does anyone simply use the 3000 as a simple XCVR that just happens to have excellent technical capabilities for filtering and DSP - and, a great band scope display? All I want is superb reliability for my daily SSB/CW rag chews and occasional DX. Am I looking at something far too complex for such mundane tasks? Anyone using a 3000 for simple duties?

I am pretty much down to either the Flex or a K3. Dollar wise, the Flex wins hands-down. But, cost is not all that important when you make a purchase that will be used for many years.

Thanks,

Bill W2BLC

Help improving voice signal quality on TX

KF5MTW — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 23:42:53 GMT

OK, please bear with me, a totally new ham - just got my call sign today. The Flex 3000 is my first radio and, although I am a longtime computer nut, all this is very new to me.

I got the nerve to answer my first CQ this evening. I could hear the caller perfectly. He said I had a strong signal, but he had trouble understanding me. He was very patient and tried to guide me in making some adjustments (he was a Flex-5000A owner!), but like an idiot, I hit the wrong key and lost the frequency and could not reestablish the contact.

I am using a Heil PR-40 microphone with a USB interface and VAC enabled with Windows Direct Sound driver. I have adjusted the MIC gain so that it peaks at ~0dB. When I enable MON so that TX audio can be heard through my headphones, my voice sounds perfectly fine to me.

So I'm wondering if the problems this evening were related to propagation/antenna issues or whether I am doing something wrong on my end. I am particularly fuzzy on what settings I should be using for AGC, Drive, Preamp, etc. Is there someone here willing to listen to my signal and help me figure this out? Advice greatly appreciated.

Flex 3000 Purchase ?

KD8LCD — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 17:15:51 GMT

I hope I don't offend any Flex owners as I am not trying too.

I recently have been really messed over by Yaesu with an FT-2000 I bought new back in Feb 2011 long story but there is a bad design flaw and RFI with them blowing preamps twice within 1 months time. :sick: Several owners have had it happen repeatedly as well so time to get something else.

Once fixed and sold I am going to replace it with either a Flex or Elkcraft, as I will never again own anything from Yaesu.

I am really stuck in a decision between the two choices so I was hoping to hear from a few owners with their experiences with the Flex mainly the 3000 as I am thinking I should be able to recover about the price for one when I sell the ft-2000.

Below is a list of Modes I like to operate will these work and have there been any problems with them and the Flex 30000:

PSK31-RTTY-SSTV- and most all the digital modes that are in HRD DM780 (BTW I will be using the HRD suite as I have in the past and know it well so take HRD into account as being the software used for these modes and logbook as well)

Easy-pal- Digital STV

JT65-HF (Using the Joe Large JT65-HF software)

WSPR- Whisperer using the WSPR by K1JT

WSJT9 - various modes with the WSJT9 suite again by K1JT

Also of course the Phone and CW modes.

Computer system should be more than capable of running the PowerSDR software and HRD or PowerSDR and one of the other mentioned above programs I think.

It is a home built system (building servers and workstations is one of my Jobs)
The system is as follows:

Core Deneb Processor Phenom II X4 975 Black Edition 3.6GHz
Number of Cores: Quad-Core
Level 1 Cache: 128KB (per core)
Level 2 Cache: 512KB (per core)
Level 3 Cache: 6MB
4 GB of DDR3-1333 (PC3-10666)
MSI Motherboard 880G-E45 Socket AM3 880G ATX AMD Motherboard
Video card H645H1G AMD Radeon HD 6450 1024MB DDR3
Sata II 72000 RPM drives (2X500 GB)
750 Watt supply
Windows 7 Professional 32Bit

Hopefully the above should work well?

The motherboard does have a 400Gbps Fire wire controller on it, I have never used it so I am not sure it is decent (I know I need a good Fire-wire controller) if need be I will pick up a TI chip set PCI-e express card. The on board fire wire is based on the VIA® VT6315N chip set and I am not sure if anyone has used it successfully with the Flex 3000?

I am looking for comments on how you like the receiver of the flex 3000 how is the noise?

Speaking of noise a few have commented on Noisy fans in the unit is this still the case?

What Microphone(s) seem to work well with it besides a Yaesu microphone and I won't as mentioned above have anything made by them in my shack.

Heil’s are nice (but pricey) I do have a couple Audio Technicia performer vocal microphones (ATR-30) and a United UM-800 microphone as well, no problem here with making a rj45 connecter for one of them. Has anyone had experience with using either of these?

Is anyone having problems with FRI getting back into externally amplified speakers?

What external reasonable priced powered speakers have been found to work well?

What don't you like about the Flex- Besides missing buttons and knobs those are a given and personally I use a mouse and keyboard all day, and have thought about a touch screen monitor in the future.

What have you found to be a big benefit going with a full SDR transceiver

So there you have it Flexers - sell me on why I should chose the Flex (3000) over a K3

Thanks and hope to be back on the HF air very soon.

Can I use HRD with Flex 3000

curly — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 17:27:11 GMT

Wanting to move from my Yaesu ft-1000mp Mark-V - however my log is in HRD and I use the DX cluster that when selecting a station it changes radio to the freq. Everything is working good and I will be giving up the 200 watt for 100. Just like the Flex but would like to intergate HRD if possible. Would you guys comment on by set up/

Ideas for Power SDR improvements

f6anf — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 10:37:10 GMT

Bonjour from Bordeaux, France,
Just ideas to improve the use of the Power SDR flex3000.
- Preseted split value : With a value we can chose in the menu
- memory for each band and sub band : Very usefull, with that no problem to restore the transmit frequency from an other band !
- have the mouse fixed with some parameter selected as TUNE. A security as you're tuning the linear amplifier, having problem, obliged to find the right mouse position to tune the power off !
- If we have split, VFO Sync keeps the split value while frequency change
- Be able to use WoodBboxRadio Tmate directly. I'm sur many guy having a Tmate should appreciate to have it installed directly inside as flex control

Flex demo mode - live recording available?

RayP — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 08:50:38 GMT

Hi Folks,

I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on a Flex 3000.

I've just downloaded Power SDR (latest version) and launched it in Demo mode.

I ubderstand that the Flex Radio can record a complete 96khz band of data for later playback.

Is it possible to have the demo play such a sample ?

Thanks,

Flex-3000 Power Relay Not Engaging

NX8P — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 21:23:31 GMT

I'm wondering if anybody out there has experienced this problem. When I turn on my Flex-3000 I no longer hear the power relay engage and the computer no longer recognizes the radio. It work the night before when I shut everything down, but now it doesn't work. Nothing has changed since the previous night's use. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit. I've been using my set up since June with no problems.

Has anybody else out there had this problem?

Flex 3000 and VAC

MellyFlex — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 09:25:32 GMT

Hi to all,
my first posting on here so please take this into account :-)). Recently qualified here in England as M6AQL i have taken the plunge and this week bought a Flex 3000 and a Flex 1500. I have installed and set up as per instructions and have read pages of info and watched the various videos available but so far using VAC i am unable to get audio from the pc or send audio via the radio with VAC enabled. Am i doing something wrong here or is it not possible.? The flex 3000 is connected to a home built intel Core 2 Quad 6800 with 4gb ram 60gb SSD H/d and two 500gb Sata h/drives running Win 7 ultimate and the Flex 1500 to a Samsung n150 550 netbook 2 gb ram and win 7 starter. Any help on getting these to talk toegether would be greatly appreciated.

Blower Noise reducing

Uwe — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 12:56:18 GMT

Hi,

is it possible to reduce Blowers noise?

It is not very comfortable sitting beside the SDR with such a noisy blower.

So wonder if the blower could be switched off during receive or at least reducing the speed in order to reduce the noise.

Any ideas ?

For example : Tuned to 7020kc, (Flex 3K) Signal is on PC 9Kc below.

Any Idea ?
