Hello and thank you for giving us heads up! This is very disappointing news.
Will a after market transverter truly work on the 5000? Down East Micro Wave has always made quality transverters. Thank you.

This decision was driven by continued component (un)availability making deliveries unreliable. One of the component families in the module has gone obsolete and there isn't a viable replacement for our design. We've convinced the component manufacturer to support us with parts for a "last time buy" so we would like to offer the same "Last Call" notice to our valued FLEX-5000 customers. The lead time for the modules will be 10-12 weeks so we will work hard to minimize your downtime. If you would like to add the VU5K module to your FLEX-5000, please contact us before June 14 so we can get you on the list. You can order online or call sales at 512-535-4713. The price is $1397.00 plus return shipping. Once we get everything ready, our service team will coordinate with you for an RMA to ship your radio in for the upgrade. We apologize for the short notice on this announcement. Unfortunately it just isn't feasible for us to continue producing the VU5K module. Rest assured we will maintain plenty of repair components to service your VU5K and your FLEX-5000 for years to come. Thanks for your understanding and continued support of FlexRadio Systems. 73, Greg -- Greg Jurrens - K5GJ VP, Sales and Marketing FlexRadio Systems 4616 W Howard Lane Ste 1-150 Austin, TX 78728 T: 512-535-4713 <512-535-4713%20x203> x203 <512-535-4713%20x203> E: [email protected] SKYPE: WD0ACD “Tune in Excitement” PowerSDR(TM) is a trademark of FlexRadio Systems Web: www.flexradio.co <http://www.flex-radio.com/>m -- Greg Jurrens - K5GJ VP, Sales and Marketing FlexRadio Systems 4616 W Howard Lane Ste 1-150 Austin, TX 78728 T: 512-535-4713 x203 E: [email protected] <javascript:_e({}, 'cvml', '[email protected]');> SKYPE: WD0ACD “Tune in Excitement” ™ PowerSDR(TM) is a trademark of FlexRadio Systems Web: www.flexradio.com <http://www.flex-radio.com/> -- Greg Jurrens - K5GJ VP, Sales and Marketing FlexRadio Systems 4616 W Howard Lane Ste 1-150 Austin, TX 78728 T: 512-535-4713 x203 E: [email protected] SKYPE: WD0ACD “Tune in Excitement” ™ PowerSDR(TM) is a trademark of FlexRadio Systems Web: www.flexradio.com <http://www.flex-radio.com/> _______________________________________________ Flexedge mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexedge_flex-radio.biz This is the FlexRadio Systems e-mail Reflector called FlexEdge.
