It's very simple to have and keep an XP machine up and running.
I find it utterly amazing how many people can't make it happen.
I've had my flex since early 2005 (sdr1000) and have had few problems

Are you talking about the distortion that's inherent in the 5000 ?
I've heard that it's a problem with the DAC in the soundcard.
I don't believe the 5000 will be an audio aficionados radio in it's
present state.
The 1000 doesn't seem to have this problem (at least not with the
