I keep hearing people say that the price point from a 5000 to the new 6000 series isn't that much. Well I beg to differ, a base model 5000 was around $2700 which allowed some of us to purchase a 5000 and as time went on we could upgrade as money was available. But I see no upgrade path for the 6500 which is the new base model. That's a big price difference not to mention the $199 a year for support and updates.
PowerSDR is still being developed for other platforms as the base code is open source and there is another 100 watt SDR with 8 slice receivers which runs on a few different versions of SDR software including the Powersdr software. I am very happy with my 5000 and hope to keep it for a while longer, but unless I hit powerball when replacement time comes I will have to look at the other SDR's out there.. My 2 cents worth, even if its not worth 2 cents. 73 Craig _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
