The flex radio is making big strides into the AM community, because it allows better then broadcast quality audio on TX, or communications quality , or anything in-between, and also allows tricks with the modulation, negative clipping, compression, EQ, very good fidelity reception, and of course the band scope feature.
I am not fond of computers in the shack, don't contest or DX, but the flex stuff is starting to look very interesting to me. The 5000D? will have true diversity reception and 300 watts pep output, computer built in, auto antenna tuner, built in power supply, and all sorts of other new things they will think up in the software... Not sure what it will cost, but it looks like it will do whatever you want to do in radio. It sure would be an odd mix in my shack, with all the homebrew vacuum tube stuff!
