Fortunately a second reboot seemed to be OK. ![]() When re-booted, only the top half of the screen was visible, and the radio only gave intermittent chopped audio. The network connection was established, and the download took place without a problem, but when I came to update, the power indicator stuck on purple, and after 20 minutes the only course of action was to pull the plug. I should add that I was previously a Flex-3000 user and software/firmware updating on this radio was always a traumatic event. Initially I did not think this would be too inconvenient, but after three months of use, I will now have to make a patch box and screw it under the edge of my operating console and extend the microphone, key, headphones and PTT connections so they are more accessible. I have used this rig now for more than three months, so let me first admit my prejudice: I wanted a stand-alone radio a SDR with knobs on I have no interest in remote operation, indeed I consider it extremely risky to radiate RF without actually being there I wanted a self-contained radio that would work without the need of a computer.įirst drawback, the microphone, key and PTT connections are on the rear panel which means that unless you wish to constantly reach around blindly behind the radio, the headphones need to be permanently connected. ![]() ![]() Instead I will concentrate on the less satisfactory aspects of my Flex-6400M. There have been many rave reviews of the Flex 'Signature' series radios, and I will not repeat these here.
