So far the radio has exceeded my expectations. The rx is very smooth and as sensitive as anything I have ever used (I thought the SDR1K was the best but there is no 11.5khz hump and I haven't seen any birdies, etc.). The lack of calibration really is nice, you don't really appreciate it until you just turn it on and the radio tells Powersdr what to set things at.
Fit and finish are light years ahead of the SDR1K. The size of the unit is a bit smaller than I had expected from the pictures and I like that, it takes very little desk space but it looks like a professional radio. The recent changes to PowerSDR are good for both the SDR1K as well as the 5000a but I think we are seeing the next generation delivered with 1.10. 73 Neal k3nc On 8/14/07, Mike McCown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Curious, how do the new 5000 owners like their radios vs. the 1000? > Mike, N3HY > > _______________________________________________ > FlexRadio mailing list > FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz > http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz > Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ > FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ > FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ > > _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
