Greetings All,
As a professional RF and radio systems design engineer for 31 years, and
currently chief engineer in charge of one of the largest and most complex RF
systems in the world, I would like to provide an important perspective given
the
recent chatter here on the reflector.
I have me
Once again, I think we have a number of disgruntled folks out there who
simply do not understand what beta software is. This despite the warning
splash screen that you get on first install, the clear notifications on the
web site, and the ten thousand times it has been talked about on the
reflecto
I use the Flex 5000A for AM and SSB and it works great!
I use version 2.0.8 on Windows 7 pro 64 bit.
Happy camper here.

Thank you for your response.
For me this puts an extremely bit + in the customer service box.
I can't afford a 5000A right now but when I can I will purchase one.
But as I said before, my F3K is working well and I will be around for Ver. 2.1.

Well I for one feel blessed, so far.
Straightforward install on my Windows 7 64 bit machine with 3000. All
went well and works a treat.
I don't do CW although I had a tutorial book for xmas last, one day I
will I promise, I even have a key.
A 1500 is on my xmas list as well, I want one for vhf tran
I get your point.
The cost of the 1500 is a bit over $600, that is really not much that you call,
" significant amount of money."
However I do get you point about releasing a radio in Beta.

I apologize for you difficulties. I also regret that you feel bashed. I
can assure you it was no paid employee of FlexRadio. We do have customers
who believe in what we are trying to do an thus get carried away at times.

At last proper CW from the 1500 :-)

I am 100% positive that Gerald and crew are as upset as Simon is about the
situation with the 1500 and I can see they are doing their very best to
rectify it THE RIGHT WAY and that is make it work. I don't think immediate

I am sure I/Y/K would never get away with releasing a radio in beta sold on

Is Flex all I would like, no.

We have been told "it will be ready when it's ready", not words that sound
