Not surprisingly the 640+ enhancement requests, going back to 2006, have now
been removed from the FRS site.
I suppose it is easier to remove these 640+ requests than it is to provide Flex
customers with the functionality they have been saying, for years, they want.

Please take your pompous indignation elsewhere. The Flexradio team has made
constant improvements to the hardware and software. If you can find a better
product of this type, go for it.

I understand both points. I just did not like the delivery. Flex has matured as
a company and with that no longer provides forwarding looking statements to
ensure that there is no disappointment to the customer base if priorities

You have a good point
That is why I sold my Flex 1500 but kept my Flex 5000
I was tired of dealing with CW problems with the 1500
Plus Elecraft is coming out with a good QRP rig that is some ways will beat the
1500
You ought not have to carry a PS, monitor and computer to go QRP
But it is amazing

said that inside every complex problem is a simple problem struggling

Ah yes, enhancement requests. They are viewed by users as the panacea and
by GOOD developers as an evil nightmare. Why? Because most enhancement
requests are worse than useless.
The usefulnes, or otherwise, of enhancement requests may be debatable but the
fact remains that FRS has, and continues, to encourage its users to make such
requests no matter how crazy they may seem. This is how we get the ideas to
improve our products.
Moving the old, open to the public,

Such infantile tirades won't get you much sympathy in this crowd. I have
had my disagreements with Flex but it always was on an adult level
I have to admit that I was a little disappointed to see all of those
enhancement requests linger on the site for so long with no resolution in
sight.
Anyone ever consider how much it would cost to add 640+ features to PowerSDR?
How about $10,000 per feature for starters. Those of you who
Hi Tony,
There is a lot of literature on this subject, just a Google away. There are
also labs devoted to developing commercial applications of DSP noise
reduction. Here are some links:

Based on your problem description of your issue, it looks like a

will be needed to confirm this assumption.
