I've got all three. At one time I was going to sell my 5000 and go just with the 3000 and even got so far as to have someone send me a check for it. I decided to keep the 5000 and got a used 3000 later. Not sorry I did. Both are good radios. I love the 3000 operating portable. There is just nothing better. I use the 5000 at home with the 3000 as backup. Not sure I can talk you out of selling the 5000. Unless you really need the extra antenna switching, or the extra dynamic range, or you want to run 192kHz sample rate, or you want the external reference input (I use all these things), you will be happy with the 3000. OTOH, when you sell your 5000 you are probably not going to get enough above the price of the 3000 to really make it worthwhile. So my advice would be to keep the 5000. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682 br...@lloyd.com +1.767.617.1365 (Dominica) +1.916.877.5067 (USA) _______________________________________________ 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/
