PGXL Fan Question Can I set the Fan Speed manually on the PGXL without the PGXL utility with the Screen on the PGXL itself from Standard, Normal or Contest The manual says the PGXL screen mounted on The face of the PGXL is a Touch Screen But when I touch it, it did not respond Maybe I need to tap word FAN on the PGXL’s Front LCD Maybe the LCD on the PGXL Is not a touch screen !! Fan was really noisy just listening in the shack with it With the PGXL out of Standby and in Operate Position !!! Any info appreciated 73 Mike

    Mike,

    You need to use the PGXL Utility to change the fan configuration. It is not settable from the front panel.

    I recommend you run in standard mode unless doing almost continuous FT8 or RTTY.

    Mack Thanks Also I assume it is not a Touch Screen even though the manual says it is ! Also need to try configure it for LAN With a Flex6600M The instructions are confusing and My Flex 6600M shows no Pout for The Amp, but shows output on the PGXL Screen By confusion, not sure how to sync the PGXL to LAN with the 6600M on the LAN Had to add a additional PTT cable Between PGXL and 6600M to get it To work to transmit and amplify With the PGXL My assumption, when LAN is working On PGXL a separate RCA type PTT is Not needed My remote LAN Maestro is working With 6600M but not with the PGXL I am a newbie to the PGXL setup Any help or tips appreciated 73 Mike

    Mike,

    Yes, it is a touchscreen on the PGXL but I don't recall what functions you can touch.

    If you have an iOS device then send me your phone number is w4ax.mack (AT) gmail.com and I'll FactTime you to walk you through setup for LAN keying and displaying PGXL meters on the front screen of your 6600M. It shouldn't take but a few minutes. I'm available until 6 PM ET today or tomorrow between 11 AM and 6 PM ET.
