Think about this from Flex's point-of-view. Let's say they manage, through dint of super-human effort, to get a good working antenna. The result will be people who think, "yeah, OK, it receives and transmits." Propagation more than anything will determine how well the rig appears to work. That doesn't sound like a big win to me -- no real up-side but a potential down-side. But let's imagine that the antenna doesn't work well. Now the performance of the rig is horrible and unusable. This is a major down-side. So, the best that Flex can hope for with putting up an antenna is a neutral result. The worst is horrible performance. Let me put it another way. Someone has given you a bet. If you win you get nothing. If you lose, you lose thousands of dollars. What is the likelihood that you would take that bet? I thought not. Why should Flex take that bet? IMHO they would be stupid if they did. So ... no antenna. Seems like a good decision to me. -- 73 de Brian, WB6RQN/J79BPL _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
