Thanks Gary, Bill and Lee for your comments.
It sounds like the UV5K may be a worthy competitor to transverters.
I look forward to more comments.

I have been using the Flex-5000A with the UV5K since the first 6 were made
on EME. I have used the Yaesu FT-847 and also a LT 2S MK2 German
transverter before that. I also had a FT-736. None of these compare to
the Flex-5000A with the UV5K. I think it is great.

Hello all
I am a new user of the Flex 5000A and I have some questions regarding
the
VU5K as compared to transverters. I searched the archives but did
not find
answers to my questions.
I bought my Flex 5000A with the RX2 and antenna tuner, but not the
VU5K. I
have been wondering how the VU5K compares to the use of transverters
for the
2m and 70cm bands for weak signal work. I am interested also in
possible
EME operations.
I have read that most "serious" VHF/UHF users use transverters, but I
wonder if this paradigm has changed with the advent of the Flex Radio
Systems offerings.
Your thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated. If this
topic has
been covered before, then simply direct me to the appropriate
responses. I
have not yet had time to familiarize myself with all the archival
materials
available here and on the Flex Radio site.
Thanks
Terry
