As you know the VU5K is no longer in production, but there may still be
some available from Flex. It is their intention to support existing
units now in use, at least for a while.
The only route left is to use external transverters. The 5000A is set
up for this. Note, that if you get the VU5K installed you cannot use
other 2m or 70cm transverters with the VU5K. I only found this out
after purchasing a German Kuhne TR 144H +40 2m transverter. I have
since purchased a Flex 1500 to use with the Kuhne transverter. There
are several transverters available from Down East Microwave, SSB
Electronic and others. Most of these transverters are designed for weak
signal work and cover the lower portion of the band.
Initially, I had some issues with the VU5K, but these seem to be
resolved now. I have been able to tweak the setup to use the VU5K on
weak signal work with success.

What now is the recommended path to integrate 2M and 70CM operation into the
Flex5K?
