Thanks for you comments. I plan on going to Hamcom here in Dallas next weekend and playing with it some more. Dayton was so crowded that it was tuff to really look at it closely.
What I have read is audio problems with the transmitter, computer lockups, and latency issues. As far as beta testing I think it would be better to talk about thos on another reflector. It should not be mixed in with "production software" comments. It gets rather confusing.

CC: flexradio@flex-radio.biz I think he is talking about liking the flex but after subscribing to the reflector he has reservations. I myself feel the same. I was ready to buy a 1000 a couple of years back, but after reading the posts on the reflector I decided against it ONLY because I am not a computer person and I have no idea how to handle open source stuff.

Both machines (the SDR-1000 and the Flex5000A) have been of exceptional quality and the support has been not only far better than anything ever done in ham radio but better than one could even dream of. The software is the product of some of the best minds in digital signal processing and is plainly a labor of love. There is no reason for you to be apprehensive about getting one to work for you and if you should encounter problems, as long as you are willing to communicate, there should be no concern about getting good help. You asked if I would buy the radio again. I will buy another at some point and if there were any reason to do so I would even buy one for my mother. Buy one. You'll love it. 73 Ed, W1PN On Tue, Jun 2, 2009 at 4:25 PM, Harold Rosee <wa5...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > This year at Dayton I was able to see the Flex radios.
