Why not charge for PowerSDR updates, like SmartSDR? I have gotten a lot of
free updates since I purchased my first Flex radio about 6 years ago, and I
am happy for that. But if future updates require a payment to Flex to keep
the code updated, I would certainly consider it. The software is more
I dont think there is an issue with old computers (I will continue to test,
configure, build and support these radios for as long as anyone will
tolerate me!)
I think the way forward would be for Flex to "contribute" their proprietary
parts of PowerSDR back to the Open Source license and let it me
Wishful thinking. These radio's are being treated like old computers. And new
software written for old computers is virtually nil. And according to Gerald
they had only scratched the surface of what the 5000 could do. Without new
software all bets are off.

Hi All
One of the big problems with the pricing of both new and second hand Flex
and Anan radios as I see it is the availability of the item below and
others like it that are coming on the market

Hi All:
I also have a 5K with the V/U module. My 2 meter unit was modified by Flex
to reduce its power but make the power output more stable. I don't need the
full output because I am driving either a 150 W brick or a M2 1 kW SS amp
which requires very little drive.
However, I AM upset by all of
Here's my $0.02 from someone who's trying to sell a plain vanilla 5000a at the
moment.
I've been studying values of all the 5000 models as of late pretty closely.
The last 3 5000a with 2nd RX, tuner and V/U that I saw on QTH went for around
$2300. A big difference than 6-8 months ago when they
I bought my 5000 when it was the only model almost available (bought at
Dayton, arrived here in August or September). I did order the ATU and the
second receiver. I have never used the ATU much (I use a remote ATU).
In my opinion, the basic 5000 does not offer much over the 3000 for most
people (a
That's the beauty of a free market system. Some like it (buyers), some
don't (sellers).
Wait a couple of months are post it again, someone may yet have the urge.
The 5000A the previous gentlemen wrote about seemed to be a reasonable
buy at
the $1,500 level.

I have my Flex 5000A w/2nd Rx and ant tuner for sale. $1850 and have had
several "interested" but no final sale yet so it's still available.
I agree on the performance of the 5000A vs. most radios selling for equal
and sometimes much more! It's an excellent rig for the money.

I know I tried to sell my basic, no options, 5000A three times. I listed it
for $1500 and had no offers. I dropped the price to $1300, and still no bites
(this was five months ago). I finally put it on for $1200, and the only
response was from some crank who berated me for "destroying the val
