Elan, The Flex 6000 series will be several levels above any of the current radios in the ham market, your ultimate ham transceiver, so to speak. To get 4 receivers in the top end current transceivers you would have to purchase 2 of them, to get 8 you would need 4 of them, then you could not operate them remotely with a panadapters, and have all that detail that you enjoy with the Flex 5000s that you currently have. Time will tell.
