Hi Greg, Thanks for the info! I'm looking to put together a portable QRP solution to replace my FT817, I'd love to have a Joojoo and Flex1500 however I will most probably end up with a netbook running Linux and a Flex1500.
This all depends on the availability of "Deep Impact" and Linux support of course! I hope you have a lot of fun with your Flex1500! Best 73 and happy QRP Dx'ing!
