Hi and thanks in advance. I want to run my Flex-3000 from a Dell Inspiron laptop. The Dell has a 4 pin firewire port. Is it possible to run a six pin on one end and a four pin on the other end of the Firewire cable? I'm very new to this SDR radio thing and sorry for the lame question. Merry Christmas to all.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
