That's the reassurance I was looking for.
I was beginning to wonder if I should flog my SDR-1000 before the market
is flooded by owners who want to upgrade to the 5000 and it be becomes
"worthless" (I already see them hitting the swap shops), or if the value
will be sustained due to demand for a cheaper version of the 5000.
Either way, it sounds like my 1000 will not become a boat-anchor and
will continue to be supported by Flex / Power SDR for a long time coming.
About the 5000, can we assume that the basic RF sections will remain the
same and that the major difference lies in the PC/sound card processing ?
