This particular one is EXCELLENT. I have been dealing with remote setups lately so I'm all ears. Besides being highly relevant, there is a no chit chat 'getting to know you what's new in your life' talk that takes up first the first 10 minutes). GOOD. Thanks for just picking one topic and going for it - Directly. More more more!! Tom KB5RF

Hi Mike - I'm binging much of your content on TH-cam. Specifically right now RTTY w/MMTTY and N1MM. Sometimes you refer to "yesterday I showed ...." or something like that. Is there a catalog of these videos? And when do you post these. Some of them seem to be live ... are they scheduled? Using RHR right now from an apartment but will totally be a Flex customer when I buy another house. This video was amazing. Thanks and 73, Jim WY4O.
Oh, sorry, I missed this question. I don't use tuners at all. Call me old school, but I think that having antennas that are correctly resonant may give you better performance overall and 1 less think to go wrong.

NICE setup, tnx for the tour !

in some of your other videos under your monitor is what looks like a very small box w/a few back lit buttons, what is that device??
So how do you get around the firewall to get into the radio?
Doesn't your provider modem run on DHCP? Wanting to do this myself.
You didn't mention your HF tuner, what legal limit tuner are you using?
Thanks
Oh, sorry, I missed this question. I don't use tuners at all. Call me old school, but I think that having antennas that are correctly resonant may give you better performance overall and 1 less think to go wrong.
What was the brand of the web switches? Sounds like you said kamtronics.
@@AA0Z Thanks! KAM without the A!
My ISP doesn’t allow Port-Forwarding does anybody know another way remote accessing ?
That's a tough one. Maybe you can create a reverse SSH tunnel with all the ports you need at the remote end with a raspberry Pi?
Dave, you may have to look into using a VPN. There are stories in the Flex Community about using SoftEther for a VPN and it works really well.
see if they will allow you to either put your own modem/router or put there's into bypass mode and then put your own router
