The technical difference are listed on the comparison matrix http://www.flex-radio.com/Products.aspx?topic=SDR_Feature_Matrix
Compared to the FLEX-5000, the FLEX-3000 is a lot more portable, the case is sturdier, travels better on airlines (can be sent through the x-ray machines and the fans are louder. It also hears a little better for weak signal work on 6m due to the difference in preamps. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of k4xtt Sent: Saturday, April 10, 2010 11:52 AM To: flex reflector Subject: [Flexradio] Flex 5K vs 3K Well I guess I'm totally spoiled now. After receiving my 5K a couple of weeks ago I find that 2 receivers are not quite enough sensory titillation for my satisfaction. Question is, For those users that have both the 5K and the 3K, how do they compare? Will I give up anything adding the 3K to my collection? I know the 3K is only available with the one receiver. I'm really only looking for any minor significant differences related to each, since the basic approaches have been engineered into each system. I really would like to find an article or write up of a real world side by side comparison of each. If I have overlooked a Faq or article on the Flex website with a side by side comparison, please direct me to it.
