To me the redirection of the Flex Radio is nothing more than about cutting costs and increasing the profit. This is nothing new but when I first saw the Flex being demonstrated in the 3 board,no cabinet-yet, now 100w-yet form by non other than Gerald himself I was impressed by Gerald demonstartion ad alking to him I thought here's radio and a concept we hams have only dreamed of. I thought here is a radio that will stay in it's hardware form only to be modified to be made better. So why can't the radio keeps it's form at 1 watt for transverters and add a power amp for 100 watts with little pain. And just like another poster why can't it be modified to use either way out of the box. The answer is simple it's all about cutting costs and increasing profits regardless of the customers pain , the "Mantra of American business". I thought that the Flex radio and it's promoter would not fall prey the that Mantra. The Flex radio is a wonderful piece of hardware to listen to but a nightmare until you finally get all the hardware put together so now the Flex radio is back in the category of any other radio of the buyer deciding if the work is worth it to get on the air the way you want to. And it should be no surprise of the sudden German builder we are seeing referenced to here lately. I didn't even know it was being made. He might just build the single board 1-watt to100-watt convertable we are searching for transverter use right before Flex Radio's eyes. Bob KA0MR
