Steve, Nice looking pic! I bought a 3000 and really liked it. Had issues with the newer Power SDR (Beta 2.0) that just kicked my butt, but that's old news. Having said that I liked the SDR concept so much I've upgraded to the 5000 over a year ago. I can't say ANYTHING negative about it. My best friend who is an engineer, also owns a 5000, told me some interesting facts about the radio. Sherwood Labs has the 5000 as one of the top tiered radios for RX. But when you read the notes about the radios, the flex beats out the rest of the crowd! It IS the best sounding radio on both RX and TX I have ever owned!
By the way I use a two monitor system here also. I use two 23 inch 1080p monitors here. I had issues with the no "knob" configuration but quickly overcame that! I saved the QST that had the FT-5000 review. The author had a sidebar that said "it would be nice to be able to click on a signal and QSY" (not exact). I thought, dude get a FLEX! One of the reasons I bought the 5000 is the ability to configure your system. 3000 is nice, but it is what it is, nice entry into SDR for sure. I'm in the process of upgrading my antenna system and shack. Pics to follow in a few months. Thanks Steve! 73, Kent, K6FQ _______________________________________________ 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.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
