I think it's great that Flex is keeping up with the times, and can't wait to see the info on the SDR-5000.
The ARRL has been one of the promoters of SDR technology, especially recently. I think they see the advantages, and the handwriting on the wall. QEX is a great way for technically-savvy hams to promote new ideas and technology. Big companies may be at the forefront of technology, but the hams continue to find ways to make that technology inexpensive. Go for it Bob and the League. Keep up the focus on technology. That is a significant part of what keeps our hobby relevent.
