Title: Remoting a Flex-5000A
Post by: k2ue on 2013-02-20, 23:44:52

My plan for remoting a Flex-5000A is to handle the video with Remote Desktop and use the RRC-1258MkIIs to provide stereo Rx and (mono) Tx audio, plus a CAT serial link.

The radio's stereo Rx audio is intended to drive PC speakers, and the remote audio will use the stereo miniature phone output to do that.

On the radio side, it looks like my best option is to remove R82, R137, R102, R103 to raise the "speaker" input resistance to about 1K, instead of the original 50 ohms.  Is there an easier way?

Hi

No, removing the 100R resitors is the only way, if you need higher input impedance.

Is there a place in the manual where it shows what the AUX/MIC RJ-45 connections are with all default strapping area jumpers in place, and what each jumper does? -- it seems like all the setups shown are for specific radios, rather than generic use.

There is no general description besides the schematics. Both you only need to strap for the microphone and I think it's the same as Kenwood or Yaesu.

My Club has very successfully used a Flex 5000A remotely using Teamviewer, as unlike Remote desktop it will send and receive audio just great over the internet.

Process is documented on the Flex Radio support site. (http://kc.flexradio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50503.aspx)

 Best of all is Teamviewer is free for non-profit/personal use and doesn't need any additional hardware, you will need a package called Virtual Audio cable which is cheap, (there are free alternatives).
