Jim-- I've been following this thread with interest as I'm ready to sell my "still boxed", never unpacked, new, unused FLEX-5000A+AT+RX2+VU5K that I received from FlexRadio in Dec 2010 at a cost of a bit over $5,000. What "for sale" forums were you suggesting that advertising could be placed "to advertise your 5000's to VHF/UHF ops where the market is strong!" My asking price for this NIB radio is $3,500 -- and I'm looking for a buyer. In the meantime, --thank you Neal Campbell for a wonderful computer and FlexRadio for the FLEX-6700! 73 Gary N0GS -----Original Message----- From: FlexRadio [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Broaddus Sent: Monday, March 02, 2015 10:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Flex 5000 Value Re the 5000's value on the used market....the ones that are equipped with the VU module are highly sought after by meteor scatter ops who use FSK441 on VHF bands. There are not too many decent rigs out there that will make RF on 6m, 2m and 70 cm that are capable of the multitude features available on a well equipped 5000. The tuner is not a plus, but the vu module is highly sought after. The high end 6000 series will work in the MS application on VHF, but pricey. So, advertise your 5000's to VHF/UHF ops where the market is strong! Es season is just a few weeks away which will further strengthen this market. I can tell you first hand that the 3000's make beautiful AM fone rigs! They sound as good or better than the boat anchors which employ high level plate modulation and the fact that the RF output is adjustable is a real plus when used to drive modern amplifiers on AM (continuous duty).
