Jordon, I do not speak for Flex but I have been hanging around here for a long time.
Flex does not publicly list the ECOs associated with their equipment. From observation, they seem to segregate the ECOs between "got to recall" and "next time the radio is in the shop, apply these fixes". In the first category, you will see these typically happen around the first months of general availability. I remember 1 for the 5000 for the RFPIO board (the board managing the switching for the ports on the back of the radio) which was needed for dual receiver configurations, and 1 for the 3000 preamp if memory is correct. Of the second category, probably the most publicized is the mod for the 160M Spur problem. I don't play on 160 so I never was moved to disconnect my radio and ship it to Austin for that but am sure that when it was in later for firewire chip replacement, it was applied. You can see on the repair record that they send back with your radio, what was installed at the factory. Luckily many people have not had to send their radios back. I am pretty confident that you don't have a radio with the two problems I can remember of the "recall" variety and the others probably are not noticible in the absense or presense. 73 -----Original Message----- From: FlexRadio [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jordan Arndt Sent: Saturday, October 12, 2013 7:25 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [Flexradio] 5000A ECOs..?
