Flexradio Flex-8600m SDR remote control 100 Watt. {
{
with the Flex-8000 series (consisting of the models 8400, 8600, 8400m and 8600m), flexradio launches the new generation of high-class SDR transceivers. In addition to the technical characteristics of the Flex-8600, the 8600'm ' is equipped with a complete control panel dominated by an 8-inch touch sensitive display (resolution 1920 x 1200 pixels).
{
is based on the architecture of its successful predecessor, the Flex-6600m, but has a CPU with performance about four times higher and an FPGA with double performance. This increase in performance not only guarantees shorter start and loading times, but above all constitutes a solid base for the implementation of numerous future features that could not be made with previous hardware resources.
{
{
one of the first of these incoming news is the "adaptive pre-drilling" (APD) which, according to the manufacturer, offers the cleanest signal on a radio and amateur platform.
{
All the Flex-8000 models are also equipped with integrated GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Navigation Satellite Navigation) and a future integrated NTP time server. This guarantees that all Flex-8000 transceivers always remain exactly on the same frequency. But even without a direct vision of the sky, the Flex-8600m can continue to use the internal TCXO.
{
High performance receivers are designed as direct scanning SDR receivers.The impressive sampling speed of 245.76 msps exceeds twice even the devices of the current 8400 series! The AD converter has a word width of 16 bit. This translates into an exceptional 115 dB RMDR value (with a spacing of 2 KHz). As a visible result of this high-level digital technology, the user has a disposal of spectrum up to 14 MHz , much more than enough to simultaneously monitor numerous radio amateur bands and organize their activities accordingly. With a minimum resolution of the viewable spectrum of 1.6 Hz/px, the Flex-8600m far exceeds the models of the 8400 series (minimum resolution of 5.85 Hz).
The receiver frequencies range extends from 30 kHz to 54 MHz; The transmitter is limited to radioamatory bands. In addition, the band filters were designed to be more selective; Now 7 -pole filters are used for competition bands and 3 -pole filters for other bands. The number of independent receivers has also been increased from 2 to 4 receivers. The flex-8600m transmitter offers a transmission power of 100 W (PEP, 25W AM), the suppression of unwanted by-products is better than 60 DBC.

The transceiver flex-8600m sdr of flexradio It was developed for the most demanding radio amateurs and specifically optimized for the high needs of the DX and contest operations. This flagship transceiver can be used as an independent radio without the need for a computer. The large integrated IPS display with Touch function provides information on the operating status and on the assignment of the bands at every moment and is completed by numerous "classic" operating elements such as the rotary controls for volume control, the sensitivity of the receiver and the VFO - of course in duplicate, so that two receivers can be set individually and directly without having to access the menu. It is also possible to connect an external screen via the HDMI connection.

{
or you can use the first-class remote functions of the Flex-8600m and check the radio comfortably via PC, laptop, Mac or iOS client. As an option, the Master console is also available, which can access the transceiver via WLAN or wired ethernet. As with all Flexradio transceivers, the practicality and ease of remote control have been made in an exemplary way.
{
Up to four completely independent receivers are available, an important prerequisite for working on the right in split mode or to simultaneously monitor different bands and other ways in a contest. Full Duplex crossband operation is also possible. It is possible to connect up to four antennas directly at the same time: two transmission and reception antennas and two exclusively reception antennas.

distance operation
{
{
Each Flexradio model, with or without front panel, can be controlled at a distance with extreme ease. The following options are available:
since the power supply is at 13.8 V cc, the operation is not limited to use as a fixed station, but also benefits from the freedom to be able to use the device in the car, van or camper.
