Thank you Gerald. It is a pleasure to do business with a company that listens to it's customers and strives for improvement. I sold some expensive radios to finance my Flex purchases and I have never been sorry. It just keeps getting better. 73 Wayne K4ELO __

I have tried every SVN and release PSDR in the last 2 months. The ATU on my Flex 5000 works sometimes but mostly doesn't. I have tried different SWR threshold settings. NONE of my antennas are higher than 3:1 swr. All bands from 160 thru 10 and including 6 mtrs. The Flex ATU is not reliable, s

Very few companies would admit what was in the message below. That is what differentiates Flex from the rest, a company with an owner that is straight with the customers. The FCC gives us a license grant to learn from technology, clearly Flex can be a challenge at times but that should be welcom

Dear customers, First let me acknowledge that we at FlexRadio understand that the ATUs in both the FLEX-3000 and FLEX-5000 can be improved. All of these improvements will be in software since the hardware tuning range is more than adequate in both radios. The current tuners use fairly simple "BB

There has been a spate of stuff (I hesitate to call it a "discussion") about the ATU in Flex rigs. There are some observations I would like to throw into the pot for stirring: 1. The gentleman who got nonsense readings from his Flex when it was connected to a dummy load is not confused. If the
