Burke ( correct me where i miss the mark, guys ) i too have enjoyed my F3k for some time. the new rigs are revolutionary in at least 3 ways, i think. 1. no longer QSD / QSE. DDC / DUC instead. gives capability to see more than 192 khz; no more receiver images at 3x F. should be a real treat on MF / LF. and also the capacity to see the entire 10m band on the pan.
2. in the same way flex solved the soundcard problem by putting it in the rig, the new rigs have DSP processing in the radio. with the FPGA and the TI processor. relieves some of the pc's processing requirements, i think. 3. the new rig connects to the radio through ethernet instead of firewire. probably much more than this, but these features alone have ME excited. It is a VERY clever piece of gear. 73, w5xz, dan --- On Fri, 5/25/12, Burke Schlott <[email protected]> wrote: From: Burke Schlott <[email protected]> Subject: [FlexEdge] The New Flex radios To: [email protected] Date: Friday, May 25, 2012, 10:47 AM I have been using a 5K for several years now and am more than satisfied with its performance and features. I have read the preliminary info on the Flex web site and would really like to know just what I could expect in the way of actual performance improvements that I could expect over the 5K. I guess what I am saying is that I would like to see the 6K's performance specs as compared to the 5K similar to what is now available in the product comparason tab on the web site.
