I received the following report via e-mail from a ham in California -- I am in Wisconsin --
I have the Flex 6700 and was using my Expert SPE 2K-FA amp running about 600-700 watts out?? I use a 40-meter rotatable dipole at 80 feet on 12 meters with an SWR of about 1.75/1 --
Any suggestions on what might be causing this problem?
Thanks,
****, K9APW

Hi ****,
I'm in Colorado. If you want to set a freq and time on 40 I'll tune in and see what I see on my Flex6300.

Get more reports first.0

Any chance you are using Fldigi and sending cw via dax?0
-
Likewise, ****, if you want to meet on 40 tonight I can meet you. I'm in NC.

Are you running full break-in or semi-breakin? Could your amp's relay be chopping the beginning or end of your CW note?0
-
I have to agree with Bill, get more reports. That seems too weird, esp with a quality Amp.0
-
get some more reports with and without the amp.0
-
What version of SmartSDR is he running?

I got a report like that and come to find out the guy was using a Hallicrafters S-38 receiver.

Too bad he didn't have the "E" model with optional 12AT7 product detector.1

Similar to Steve's comment could be a nube with a legacy rig and NO filters at all.
Sound familiar to you contesters out there???
Get some trusted reports from the Flex users who offered above before freaking out, ha.
