But I sure have a cool ham shack!
Yes, I need professional help!!! After all I have to get some transverters, amplifiers, receive preamplifiers and antennas for 2, 1.25 and 0.7 Meter bands.
And to think this all started years ago with a Kenwood TS-520SE...
"We are working day and night on producing Power Genius XL amplifiers.
Here are some pictures to show where we’re at at the moment.
First products will be delivered to FlexRadio in second half of September 2017.
FlexRadio will require about two weeks to polish the software.
After this process the amplifiers will be ready to ship.
Next production batch is planned to be complete by the end of 2017 or early 2018.
We should be able to produce more units then ordered so we expect short delivery times for retail sales as well."I am sure that the above estimate does not include any "slippage" or "gotchas", but it is nice to read.

Obviously they're having serious problems they're still trying to resolve. We need to give them time if we're to stick with FlexRadio.
People have been getting their notice for shipping, maybe your a bit behind things?
We are working very hard over here to move as quickly as we can. We are being very meticulous on our roll out of the amplifier to make absolutely sure that every unit that goes out the door is completely solid. We are doing extensive testing and burn in for that purpose. While this takes longer we are confident that this is the right thing to do.
We sincerely appreciate your patience while we ramp up.
Best,
Matt Youngblood

In any event, yes, there is a utility program that you use to set the initial configuration of the amp, and to make changes later, if needed. It also reproduces the amp front panel on your computer screen for convenience. Apart from the configuration step and other rarely done things, you can ignore this program if you want to.
When the amp is driven by a Flex 6000 radio, you need to tell the amp which radio to assign to the A and B amplifier ports. That is done by 6000 serial number using the program. You also tell the amp if you are keying it over the Local Area Network, or via a wired PTT line. If you are driving the amp with another manufacturer's radio, then you need to provide some information about that radio.
This program is also used to set the fan profile to "Standard", "Contest" and "Broadcast" and to do things like customize the IP address assignment, if you want to do that.
And, when it comes time to update the amp's firmware, this is the program that pumps the image from a file into the amp. This is probably the most important thing the program does, but also the rarest. Changes to the amp firmware can make significant changes to the way the amp works and to its safety and reliability, so firmware updates are important.
