Black or Silver might go better with most laptops & lcd monitors. Maybe we could have a color option ? [GY] We don't plan to offer options since that would be difficult to manage. All my old Heathkit radios were green. Also surprised that the key jack is on the front. More wires in front. Glad to see the 1/4 jack, maybe thats the reason. [GY] Yes, when we decided to go with 1/4" jacks, there was not room on the back for the connector. Thinking about the Flex-3000 as a portable radio. Wish it had a USB option with Firewire - User choice which to use. [GY] USB is not suitable for isochronous streaming of the number of channels we require. That is why there are no high end pro audio sound cards that support USB. Still , it will be nice to have one with my Flex-5000 73's , Bruce KL7JDR Bruce W. Mills P.O.
