Thanks for bringing that up. A cure for the microchirp was invented by Paul W9AC and many of us have fixed our Omni VI's. That's why you don't hear much about it anymore. Steve Ellington N4LQ@iglou.c

Having owned the Flex SDR, 100w version, and having owned a Pegasus for a long time I can say this: The Flex radio is very very PC, sound card and software dependent. If I were going to use the Flex
Hold in lock button a few seconds. Choose pops up on display. Hit button #1. Scroll with main tuning knob till you see INT. Use up/down arrows to change brightness. Hit lock twice to exit. Steve Elli
