We are a week away from the end of the year.  Any update on the power genius shipments as well as the promised tuner genius.  I ordered mine in June, 2017

Gerald released a PGXL email on Dec 14th telling us they are ramping up to fill out orders. If you are not on the PGXL mailing list contact FRS to get yourself added. There may even be copy posted here one the community forum. As for your particular order and delivery projections you can always contact FRS to check. I’m hoping my second PGXL will be released soon, so I can have one at each of my QTHs. 73 Steve K9ZW

Makes sense that other than Alpha team units we’re all waiting, doesn’t it? I deferred my second unit when selected as an add-on Alpha team tester, as I had put deposits on two PGXLs the night they were announced. Figured another would get a chance to participate as a tester by putting the second unit off. For those of us waiting I can say my test unit has met all expectations and I’m ready for my second PGXL. No reservations. 73 Steve K9ZW

I ended up purchasing an Elecraft KPA 1500 and love it as I couldn't wait any more for the PG-XL. It interfaces beautifully with the Elecraft cable for the Flex.

Same here SPE 2K-FA works great even remotely with RemoteRig RC-1216H unit over WAN/LAN with FlexRadio 6600M And custom remote cable by them to interface between Flex and SPE units - Works Great !!

Interesting.  I'm looking forward to hearing more about that.

I wish Flex would be public with the number of people on the list and the expected wait.  It reminds me of TESLA.

Works great with Elecraft and SPE Amps For both Remote WAN and LAN use !! The new Version 2 of the the new SPE 1.5K Amp Uses Soldered down devices to the copper Heat spreaders that Allow Continuous Duty on FT8 at full power legal limit Is now possible ! 73 Mike FYI more details http://www.spetlc.com/images/press/SP...

I was one of the first to get the PGXL.  It made way too much fan noise for me.  I understand that they needed to do that to get 1500 continuous output.  I  sent mine back.  I have a SPE 2K and just bought a SPE 1.5K both of which make very little fan noise and put out all the power I need.

Many of us would appreciate if the "Beta" group who have had the amp for some time would comment on fan noise.

Pat N6PAT

Beta testers rarely comment on results. I was a beta tester for Direct TV Now and my NDA clearly stated that I was not to disclose any test results to anyone except the testing team

I have a KPA-1500. I have absolutely no fan noise whatsoever. I never hear them running even though I can feel the airflow when they come on.

It has been reported a few times that the fans in the PG are not quiet. But remember this amp is build to commercial standards, and it has 40W built in dummy load the other amps do not have that are being cooled.

Wow, I figured all the 6M fixes would be done by now.  I guess they shipped more units than I thought.  

HCampbell WB4IVF

I was told mine was in the last batch to be recalled, so they should be about done.

Wayne Schonfeld

Thanks for the info-I appreciate it

Wish the PGXL used these devices at 65V https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-shee... Expect to see these 1K80 devices soon from the Competition
