I am an occasional check-in for the “Every Night 160m Net,” a roundtable with Tom KC8QGJ often as the facilitator.
Tonight, even though noise was a solid S-9, I had no problem checking with with the new Flex-5000A.
Flex-5000A on 160m
Running with my solid Alpha-78 Amp into a W9INN Half-Sloper I was pleased to get very good signal and audio reports.
I had the Flex-5000A set to “PanaFall” where the Panadaptor is above a fully synced waterfull. In the pictures I have it blow up to show detail and the yellow of the S-9 noise is pretty striking.
In the settings I started working with the various filters and an VERY interesting Binaural differential stereo selection. Haven’t even gotten close to worrying about the added in receiver unit.
Again easy and impressive!
