The millions of ubiquitous Realtek LAN ICs seem to work fine with the
millions of network appliances out there.

Dang, I thought Gerald was going to comment on the proposal that I get a free
radio! Bill, I promise I would take several pictures and send them to you!
Happy memorial day!

Scott,
Here is what I do not understand with the new radios.
1) Why no extended receive range now that is all digital from the antenna.
For instance low frequency receive.
The receiver 3 dB points are 30 KHz to 77 MHz on all models. The FLEX-6700
also covers 135-165 MHz.
2) Why no transverters for people that want to have 1 radio does all and
no extra hardware in the shack.
This is a broad question so I am not sure what you are asking.
3) Why no 473 khz band?
This one is covered. TX is 0 dBm nominal.
Not dinging Flex for anything, as the new radios are a step in the right
direction for one that has RF ingress and appreciating having a PC be just
right or nothing works right. I understand all of this, as I am still
dealing with some of these issues.
I wanted to do a presentation on what it took to configure the radio and
the computer, but there are so many steps that I have decided not to do it.
What I will say is that the people at Flex are #1 in my book. The fellow
Flexers are also #1 in my book. If it was not for the helpful staff at
Flex, Neil Campbell and other fellow Flexers, I would be still be off the
air with the Flex. Is it perfect now...NO! Is it a workable game
plan....Yes!
I look at Flex Radios as high performance high horsepower engines. Once
you get them dialed-in, they work extremely well. It just takes some effort
to get them there. It is like the high performance antenna that you and I
both share.
Dial them in, they work great...it just takes some effort.
In my honest opinion, they are not plug and play appliances and should not
be. Is SDR for everyone? No! I personally believe that Flex radios are for
the technically-inclined of the hobby.
The new FLEX-6000 series is designed to be plug and play. It is a network
appliance.
