Re: [Flexradio] Sherwood Engineering Rates Flex 6700
You knew this was coming from one story. The Flex 6300 is not as rugged a receiver as the 6500 and 6700. Yet in a field day station with a couple of 6300's and a 6700 NO INTERFERENCE WAS NOTICED with THREE stations on 20 meters SIMULTANEOUSLY https://community.flexradio.com/flexradio/topics/best_field_day_ever and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cmmd9ABK0Aw The war for top of the chart is over. I don't claim there will ever be a better receiver. What I do claim is THERE IS NO NEED FOR FURTHER IMPROVEMENT. If you made it more sensitive, quieter, ... you cannot use that performance on 160-20 meters at least.What the Flex Signature Series needs now is total dedication to software work, firmware work, and interaction with contesters, DXers, ESSBers, AMers, Digicomm folks, . to provide the software solutions they need to slash workflow in operation and to provide all sorts of operating aids. With the release of their API's, they've opened the hood enough for third party development. These are very exciting times.
