There are several reasons listed below. • The FLEX-1500 utilizes a low noise, high gain preamp that will enhance sensitivity on the upper bands which are normally used as the IF for VHF+ transverters. • The FLEX-1500 has a separate RF input and outputs for connecting to a transverter or you can configure one BNC connector to provide both RX and TX. • The FLEX-1500 has an input for an external 10 MHz clock reference to ensure frequency accuracy and stability, both of which are critical for microwave operation. • The FLEX-1500 will have a very low power RF output of 0 dBm for driving transverters. • You get the features, versatility and functionality of PowerSDR along with the Panadapter and PanaFall™ for being able to find off frequency signals visually.
