Re: [Flexradio] Legacy Radios?
I can't consider either of my radios as "Legacy" equipment until one of their descendants somehow manages to join the gadget party on the desk in my shack. I'm going to wait for one of the early "appliance operator" desertions to lower the resale prices and grab a bargain. I don't purchase for investment value, I just want to ride em. It's not about where your going, It's all about the fun I have with the ride. "The road goes on forever and the party never ends."

Re: [Flexradio] Legacy Radios?
I wouldn't imagine that the 3000 would not be declared "legacy" in the near future. They say that the 5000's receiver is slightly more sensitive and it can be lashed up with an assortment of modules. My 3000 does everything I want it to do, with the possible exception of its potential to overdrive an rf amplifier w/o tieing it to an ALC circuit. Some of the Tokyo Hy Power Labs linear amps come with a printed warning, stating not to use them with SDR's w/o ALC. The SDR's have quite a few interconnects that increase the possibility for induction of problematic proximity static electricity. I am looking for a back up for my 3000 and I just might select another 3000 to be kept in an shielded box under the bed as lightning tends to find my rigs quite often here in Florida, just off the Gulf of Mexico. Moving forward, I am hopeful that Flex will not follow in Microsoft's footsteps, keying on knowledge gained after their introduction of Windows 8 which seems to be influenced by too much touch screen.

I don't think their use of the word legacy is meant in the context of obsolete, even though that is "one" of the definitions.

My SDR1000 is a legacy radio. Still works great! Your FLEX3000 is not.

Re: [Flexradio] Legacy Radios?
Legacy? Since when did my Flex3000 become a "Legacy" radio? I do hope that isn't the case as it was a serious investment to move from box radios to Flex SDR, Radio and PC £2000! (Around US$3000!!) and I've only had it a couple of years or so ... I will be extremely disappointed if it is now a "Legacy" product. Mike.
