I had emailed my thoughts to Craig earlier today. My thoughts are that the
best value for a $1 today is on a used Flex 5000a being sold by a Flexer moving
up to the 6000 series. If he didn't like it, the depreciation hit he would
take for selling it in six months could be non-existent. For th
This is the kind of information somebody should write a book for Dummies about.
I am qualifed to read it and would buy it, maybe buy two so I could read it
twice.

Craig,
While I have been a "knob radio" ham for many years, I became intrigued with
SDR about 1 1/2 years ago. Without giving up my knob radio, I thought about
getting a Flex 3000 for starters. Shortly after subscribing to this
reflector, a Flex 5000A came up for sale by a ham who had placed an

I have had both the Flex 1500 and the Flex 3000 side by side with the KX3. And

KX-3 is no better a radio then the Flex's.
It all depends on what you want to do with your next radio. If you want to
basically
use it as QRP and portable then go with the KX-3.

Hello Craig,
If I understand you correctly, you are fairly new to ham radio. The Flex 1500,
being a QRP radio (low power) is a fun radio but it is possible you may be
frustrated by not being able to make as many contacts as you could with the
3000, being a 100 watt unit. Working QRP takes more
The KX3 is a radio that you can enjoy "out of the box" without a computer
or any other equipment. There are any things you can do with the KX3, such
as look at the signals in a pan adapter, but I use the front panel on mine
virtually all the time.
Flexradio systems will all use a computer to defin
On a practical mode, how certain are you that you will like SDR radios
(don't ask us because we are all crazy about it)? If you are sure you like
SDR, buy the 3000. Its the best bang for the buck radio right now (and
possibly ever).
If you think you will like it but there is a little fly of doubt
The 1500 is a qrp radio. The 3000 is a 100 watt radio. The K3 can use NAP3
software which is based on FlexRadio's PowerSDR software.
For me the most important factor is the fun factor. An SDR radio is tons of
fun! An SDR radio should be included in your arsenal of radios. For some it is

Dear Flex Users Group Members,
I have some Christmas money to invest in my first SDR radio. I am very
interested in the hobby aspects of SDR, but I must admit that there is a
certain appeal to "old school" knobs.
Therefore, the Elecraft KX3 has a certain appeal, but being a newbie, I am not

Thanks to all for the responses, I was sure the firmware upgrade was necessary.
The message stating "looked for v2.1.3.9 found v2.1.3.2" was what confused me.
Thought: Did I not have the latest firmware?. I did find it and manually

David:
That message is telling you the firmware inside your FLEX-5000A is older
than is required to run PowerSDR 2.7.2 . The firmware had to be updated to
support the new Firewire Driver. Please CONTINUE!
Let us know if you have any issues.
