Well, Stan & Wayne: First, Stan, let me say that I'm 71 plus and I've always felt blessed because I had a mother and grandmother who made sure I had "scientific toys." I really do believe that their attitudes make it possible for me to accept not only technology but new directions in it. As I've said many times, whenever I fire up one of my SDR radios I give thanks that I have such a marvelous resource and feel guilty because so many great ham radio operators do not! I don't try to argue the relative merits of SDR vs. knob and button radios. I quickly decided that joining that argument was the same as doing business with relatives or arguing the relative merits of religion or disagreeing actively with the XYL. All are pointless. The first time you "mouse" those sliders and buttons to pull a signal out of the mud little doubt remains as to where the truth lies! 73 Lee K9WRU ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stan" <wa2...@taconic.net> To: <k4...@fastmail.fm>; "Flex" <flexradio@flex-radio.biz> Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2010 5:45 AM Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Man I can't believe some attitudes towards SDR! > Maybe the young guys are home working DX on their Flex radios!!! :-) > > Stan (age 70) > > > -------------------------------------------------- > From: <k4...@fastmail.fm> > Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2010 7:18 AM > To: "Flex" <flexradio@flex-radio.biz> > Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Man I can't believe some attitudes towards SDR! > >> I was struck by two things at the show yesterday. >> >> 1.
