One thought ... if Flex released the software then some enterprising
chap might
take on upgrading it. But I doubt that will happen.
Therefore, I predict the 5000's will continue to decline in value.
Perhaps in the
future they will be looked on as historical artifacts.

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.

My first question would be ... what are you using to measure the
frequency and
has it been calibrated recently ?

That's why you should add an Over-Voltage protection module to the power
supply.

What does Flex recommend for a supply, or do they leave it up to the
customer ??

You might also look into the Pennant antenna. I had a K9AY HB version up
and took it down in favor of the Pennant. I have two up, pointed NE and SW.

One thing I have noticed ...
Considering the number of 6xxx radios shipped and in use, I
expected to see some reviews on e-Ham.
Any reason for this ??

This is how rumors start ...
Most likely answer is that Flex saw the damage and decided it was not
economically
feasible to repair. There's a lot of missing information here that must
be disclosed
before we attack Flex.

RbO's are nice, but they have to be tweaked every so often. Not so
with a GPSDO. The simplest way is to get a Trimble Thunderbolt.
They have been as low as $75 over on the evil empire (I bought
two at that price). You do need an external antenna, but you need
an even bigger one for the radio !!

The only problem with a Rubidium Standard is that it requires periodic
re-calibration.
A GPS Disciplined Oscillator (such as the Trimble Thunderbolt or HP
Z3801) is
much better.
