Flex NB really needs improvement

Bill -VA3WTB

Unless you have the 6600, they do direction phasing, with two antennas, but yes ,not in the same way as the 5000. Gerald invented that system on the 5000

Bill -VA3WTB

As I said,, Flex is well aware of what we want, we didn't say anything here they don't know about.

John Orjias

what... wait, they do? did i misunderstand, are you saying there is direction phasing on the 6600, i have the 6600m how do you do it? 

Bill -VA3WTB

I don't know,,my radio can't do that. others have been doing it,,but not in the same way as you sued to with the 5000...check around,

Bill -VA3WTB

John Orjias

oh that, yeah thats not the same thing, it will do nothing like pointing an array by phasing,  but i will give it a try

Bill, the reason I keep the 6600M is because there are many things I do like about it. I noted above the things I am not happy with. As for Anan never having an all in one radio like the M models, don't place any bets just yet. You can look on their website in the FORUMS section, ( FRS is not the only radio manufacturer with a user forum) and there is an announcement for a couple of new radios that are standalone and require no computer to use. ( but, will also work with an external computer if wanted, just like the M models do) From what I have read, they are experiencing parts availability issues like so many other manufacturers are. It will be interesting to see what develops on that front. James WD5GWY

I was hoping Anan could do something like multi client, but it can't.

Can you explain how you set the NR? at what settings? not to poke holes in your setup, But it is interesting stuff.

Or, in this case, is not set at all since Joe's 6400M is boxed up and ready to go back. I, for one, have enjoyed watching the spectacle of this thread. I'm looking forward to Joe spending a year or so with the 7300 and participating on the Icom forums, then reporting back with a comparison report. Joe, in order to be objective, you should focus your attention on the Icom side of things to provide time so that you can provide a fair view between Flex and Icom. Icom is a fine company with great products, after some time, I'm sure you will provide some interesting insights.

I'm going to step in for the Flex Mayor, Tim and close this thread only as I think it has run its course.    If anyone feels otherwise, I am open to suggestions -- info@flex-radio.com and we can chat about it.  That comes right to my inbox, so I will see it.

i have set the 7300 next to the 6600m, the 7300 NB is not even close to as good as the 6600m, however i have found the mfj 1026 to be the best solutions for bad noise

KL4QG

Agree i have MFJ 1026 unit takes little time learn how to use it but ITS the BEST ,7300 i had NB was worthless but NR was very good .

For NB Icom 7700 has a Blast great NB never seen a better NB in any Radio.

I agree, the noise mitigation in the Flex is below par. I've owned the Flex-6500 for about seven years now, it has a lot of good features but it's got a long way to compete with legacy radios. Flex Radio is now involved with a government contract, so who knows when SSDR is going to be fixed. After seven years you would think this radio would be golden but it's not.

Can you go into more detail

ANDROMEDA by Apache Labs I seen one at a professor home in Seattle some how he has one of prototype radios

NB just completely phase shifts out all noise.With China Virus now- not sure if if going into production soon .

They have have enough pre-orders

This unit for money worth it’s weight in Gold

When used with my 6400M it makes 75/80 meters noise problems sound like 20 meters

He can found on Facebook under DX World Electronics- jim_811@yahoo.gr
