Hi All:
I also have a 5K with the V/U module. My 2 meter unit was modified by Flex
to reduce its power but make the power output more stable. I don't need the
full output because I am driving either a 150 W brick or a M2 1 kW SS amp
which requires very little drive.
However, I AM upset by all of
Amen!

I've been studying values of all the 5000 models as of late pretty closely.
The last 3 5000a with 2nd RX, tuner and V/U that I saw on QTH went for around

Why not charge for PowerSDR updates, like SmartSDR? I have gotten a lot of
free updates since I purchased my first Flex radio about 6 years ago, and I
am happy for that. But if future updates require a payment to Flex to keep
the code updated, I would certainly consider it. The software is more
I have to agree. I'd also be interested in purchasing updates to PowerSDR if
they were available.

I own a 5000A with ATU and second receiver; and I refuse to sell it and take
a bath. I would be more than willing to pay for major PowerSDR upgrades.
I want to purchase a new radio, but I doubt it will be a Flex because how do

Hi All
One of the big problems with the pricing of both new and second hand Flex
and Anan radios as I see it is the availability of the item below and
others like it that are coming on the market
I dont think there is an issue with old computers (I will continue to test,
configure, build and support these radios for as long as anyone will
tolerate me!)
I think the way forward would be for Flex to contribute their proprietary
parts of PowerSDR back to the Open Source license and let it
I know I tried to sell my basic, no options, 5000A three times. I listed it
for $1500 and had no offers. I dropped the price to $1300, and still no bites

response was from some crank who berated me for destroying the
I have my Flex 5000A w/2nd Rx and ant tuner for sale. $1850 and have had
several interested but no final sale yet so it's still available.
I agree on the performance of the 5000A vs. most radios selling for equal
and sometimes much more! It's an excellent rig for the money.

That's the beauty of a free market system. Some like it (buyers), some
don't (sellers).
Wait a couple of months are post it again, someone may yet have the urge.
The 5000A the previous gentlemen wrote about seemed to be a reasonable
buy at
the $1,500 level.

I bought my 5000 when it was the only model almost available (bought at
Dayton, arrived here in August or September). I did order the ATU and the
second receiver. I have never used the ATU much (I use a remote ATU).
In my opinion, the basic 5000 does not offer much over the 3000 for most
people
