Maarten, I believe that K5FR's DDUtil program will allow the F3K & F5K to control multiple transverters. It is not as straightforward as the X2 connector on the SDR1K, but it does make the functionality possible. 73, Ray, K9DUR http://k9dur.info _

Actually multiple transverters can be controlled with either the F3K or the F5K using DDUTIL and one of the output options associated with that program 73 W9OY ___ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.

If you are a VHF/UHF person that uses multiple transverters the SDR1000 is the only way to go. Only the SDR 1000 has an UCB port to easily control multiple transverters. You cannot do this with the 3000 or 5000. With the 5000 you can control one transverter but it is difficult to control multiple

First thank you all for responding. At this point I am leaning towards the F3K. My primary operating bands are 80,40,20 so transverters are not of concern. Because I use a loop, ATU's are not a concern. I am use to computers and I am currently using a dual boot system with Windows XP, Windows

Hi Don, I have owned my SDR-1000 since 2005. Here are some disadvantages of the SDR-1000: Probably the biggest concern is that the performance depends on the sound card that you use in your PC. There are only a few supported. I use the M-Audio Delta 44 alternating with the HPSDR Ozy/Janus.

The short answer is yes its worth the 500 bux The SDR-1000 while an excellent radio is first generation. As such it was the platform the designers learned on. It is missing much of the present day functionality and fine tuning that the F3K possesses. It also takes considerable time to set up

I am interested in purchasing a SDR radio. Lately I have noticed several sdr-1000 radios that have come up for sale. So I'm trying to weigh the advantages primarily between the 1000 & 3000 and possibly the 1500 which is looming in the background. Considering that I live in An apartment, h
