To take full advantage of WBIR, you need a signal source. For those
of you with 8640B's or the Elecraft signal generator, you will get good
performance with the SDR-1000. For those without these signal
generators, you will get BETTER performance on strong signals than you
are getting now with the SDR-1000 in an automatic mode but there is no
automatic storage of your results. It dynamically tunes to signals on
the band and then retunes every 10 seconds at a higher rate.
The Flex 3000 and 5000 have built in test equipment and a EEPROM for
storing calibration values. The SDR-1000 has no built in test equipment
and the calibration is as good as your signal source and temporary.

The F3K's improved hardware takes full advantage of improvements in the
software like WBIR. Whether its worth it depends on what blows your skirt up.
