Harold I live up in Allen and I have the SDR-1000, Flex 5000 and a borrowed Flex 3000 all running on 2 computers. If you don't get enough exposure at Hamcom, I am sure we can coordinate a trip to my place. I use my Flexes from 160 M to 24 GHz including Moonbounce. Best 73 Al W5LUA EM13qc Allen, Texas

OK, I have received a lot of replies and want to thank everyone. I am going to Hamcom here in Dallas next weekend and will take a serious look at the 5000A. Their booth at Dayton was packed so it was hard to get close to the product. Date: Tue, 2 Jun 2009 16:42:54 -0400 Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Is it worth the trouble?? From: haskell...@gmail.com To: wa5...@hotmail.com CC: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Harold, I'm on my second generation Flex-Radio. 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. When I got home I signed up and have been reading the reflector emails to decide if I wanted to buy a Flex. It appears to me that a lot of you are having problems, both with the rigs and the software. It appears that the software interface to the computer is full of bugs. I see a lot about lockups, etc. I have come to the conclusion that it's best to wait a while but I will try to remain open minded. My question is "would you buy this radio again and is it worth all the trouble/issues that you guys seem to have?".
