Thanks Darrin, I admit it I am an idiot. I found it and got it to work.

Re: Winkeyer, Log4OM, Flex 5000, CAT

Hi Darrin, yes Winkeyer does have macros both in the computer and on the device. I can press a button on the top of the device and it will send out a preprogrammed CQ. It just will not key the radio. If I use the Winkeyer program and use a macro the radio will not key. If I use the programed message...

Winkeyer, Log4OM, Flex 5000, CAT

I should have left things alone but I stumbled across Log4OM2 and it peeked my interest. I've had a Winkeyer sitting around here for sometime and wanted to try and connect it to Log4OM. So I thought I would connect the Winkeyer to the radio and make sure it worked. According to the Flex User Guide t...

Exploring Fldigi again

It has been some time since I tried this software. In the setup rig control section of the Fldigi software it asks for "Rig description file". It has been many years but I think I remember there was a file on ke9ns.com that you could download for just this reason. If anyone knows where I c...

Re: Flex 5000, AMP, Audio problems

Problem fixed. As it turns out the problem was a non-grounded mic shield. Thanks to another operator I learned several of the transceiver manufacturers do NOT ground the microphone shield. Using instruction on the Heil website I was able to attach a 20 gauge wire to the shield and this solved the pr...

Flex 5000, AMP, Audio problems

I recently added an amp to my station and have been mostly using digital modes, thought I would try SSB. I have gone through the audio chain and I think it sounds OK in my headphones. The ALC comp peaks at .03 db. If I use the MFJ tuner the audio sounds about the same. I am running the signal to a 1...

Re: .189 Issues

I thought I had gotten rid of this problem after several saves it just went away. Now it's back. Darrin, if I understand you correctly all I need to do is delete the DB's and correct me if I am wrong then import a saved copy of my DB's. Before I delete anything let me know if this is correct. Right ...

Re: Amp Setup with Flex 5000

Thank you Gentlemen for you help with the amp setup. N0DFF thank you for your information that is what I had in the back of my mind but did not know how to get there. I knew that I wanted some way of keying the amp first then the radio. So if I understand what your saying plugging the RCA jack into ...

.189 Issues

I am having the same issue that Jon w2jon is having with the .189 update. The program will save some data but not all of the data. I tried updating to .190 and that did not change anything. Jon talks about deleting the data bases which honestly makes me very nervous, there are just too many settings...

Re: Amp Setup with Flex 5000

Thanks for the reply. I ended up contacting the amp manufacture to see if they could shed some light on the subject. I probably should have started there first. I have another question I'll post in another thread.

Amp Setup with Flex 5000

I have read enough that I don't know what I am doing so I figured I would ask the community. I recently acquired a new tube amp and I have read that there should be some kind of delay when using a tube amp. Looking at the Antenna configuration box I have several options using TX 1 - 3. The informati...

Re: Flex 5000 and CW Skimmer Help

After a long search I found my solution. For those that are reading this thread and might be having the same problem getting CW Skimmer to work with your 5000 look to your comport emulator as a possible solution.

Re: Flex 5000 and CW Skimmer Help

Hi Darrin, you can read all the stuff below if you want I just want to ask you or anyone what virtual cable software are you using if you are running CW Skimmer? With the SoftRock-IF checked and the VAC1 Direct I/O enabled the 5000 will not connect to CW Skimmer. Skimmer says that the radio is not r...

Re: Flex 5000 and CW Skimmer Help

Hi Darrin, your CW Skimmer setup does not work on my 5000. If I configure Skimmer to use SoftRock-IF, Skimmer does not connect to the radio. I am using DDUtil RCP CAT port to connect to the radio and before anyone asks yes the Output to VAC is enabled. I am also using VSPE to setup pairs to use as c...

Flex 5000 and CW Skimmer Help

I have read and seen that you can use CW Skimmer with a Flex 5000. I have followed all the instruction I can find on the web but have not been able to make the two work together. I even tried the instruction on KE9ES web page. With Skimmer on I am able to see and decode the messages but the frequenc...
