Jon, I apologize. After making my annual pilgrimage to Dayton & talking to Flex, I learned that the decision was made a couple of days ago to discontinue selling new FLEX-5000A's. The deciding factor was the sudden unavailability of a major component which would require a complete re-design of the radio.

It is still listed on their website. In fact, all of the FLEX series radios are available at a discounted price at the present time. Undoubtedly this is in step with the discounts available at the Dayton Hamvention. I have had discussions with Greg Jurrens, K5GJ, (the director of marketing for Flex) about this topic. Flex has no plans to discontinue ANY for the FLEX series of radios. They each have their own niche in the marketplace separate from the Signature series of radios. As I have said before, GM does not stop selling Chevy's when they introduce a new model of Cadillac. 73, Ray, K9DUR http://k9dur.info _______________________________________________ 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/ _______________________________________________ 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/
