8400 out the box and SSDR 4.1.3

Perhaps Flex has Jim K4LJE on their payroll . I heard him calling CQ on 20M as I literally connected the Flex stock hand mic to the new 8400 for the first time, using the default FHM-3 DX mic profile . K4LJE told me not to change a thing and said the audio was "great" . A good first QSO .

I'm waiting on the arrival of an adapter to hook in the new PR-781 , due in a few days .

I am familiar with SSDR operations from previous Flex ownership . I have dabbled with the new NR options and they have some interesting results , a couple were very good. Autotune seems good but I need to figure out why it works sometimes and not others . Probably operator error. I am re-familiarizing myself with AGC-T operations, it is a good feature.

I am sharing this 8400 with a friend across the lake in Ontario . He just upgraded to the latest free SSDR ,. When he connects via Smartlink am I correct in thinking he gets the extra features through my station's subscription ?
