Howard,I think you missed Gerald Youngblood's statements that Flex will
continue to develop and enhance PowerSDR. Don't forget that the 6000 series is
somewhat more expensive than the PowerSDR series of radios. I imagine that
Flex will sell many more 1500's and 3000's than 6000's. I also believe that
the development efforts on the 6000's will inevitably lead to some eye-popping
breakthroughs that will make their way into PowerSDR. Jim KJ2P

This is the FlexRadio Systems e-mail Reflector called FlexEdge. It is used for
posting topics related to SDR software development and experimentalist who are
using beta versions of the software.
