Ray .. nobody has yet pointed out that the OLD Flex SDR1000A is still a
champ and is still supported in every way! This morning I was on with mine,
running PowerSDR 2.3.5, with all of the whistles and bells. It has a dated
serial showing that it was made in the 19th week of 2006. I see much the
same questions here that I saw back when the 5000A came out.

Congratulations to the Flex bunch on the new radio. It has set a mark that
others won't hit for a long time!  -- Larry W8ER

Steve,

As has been pointed out earlier, the FLEX-5000A, the FLEX-3000, & the
FLEX-1500 all fill their own niche in the marketplace.  Flex has stated that
these models are still necessary and will continue to be manufactured &
supported.  Also, they have made it clear that development work on PowerSDR
will continue into the foreseeable future.

When one of the big 3 manufacturers introduce a new top-of-the-line
whiz-bang model, do they discontinue the less expensive models just because
they have a new (and different) model?  No!  Same logic applies here.

The FLEX-1500, FLEX-3000 and FLEX-5000 all represent very high 
performance radios that occupy a particular price point in the amateur 
radio market which provides great value and we have no plans to 
discontinue their manufacturer and distribution.  We will continue to 
develop and fully support PowerSDR for the foreseeable future.
