Let’s try and guess if Flex will announce a new radio at Dayton this year. My guess is a replacement for the 6700.

    Useless speculations. Spend your time using the current Flexradio if you have one? Doing radio and having fun.

    It would make sense for Flex to move the 6700 features on to the 6600 architecture and case form factor.

    I'll add a guess that the eventual replacement for the 6700 will include TWO transmitters -- giving each person using Multi-Flex a complete and independent experience.

    I think so too. Version 3 is still in it's infancy with BIG potential!

    I was thinking that DC to 440 Mhz would be pretty sweet.

    I find that sometimes turning off and then back on the WNB also makes a huge difference.

    I think the effectiveness of the Flex filters are more important to the ham bands and SSB. This is the area the filters need some more work. I would have liked the Yaesu test been done on SSB on signals between stations.

    I tried NR here on the same station as shown in the Yaesu link and had pretty much the same results as the YouTube star. One thing about NR is it will change the audio characteristics a bit so it's best to re-tune the audio equalizer. Tested  again on 9350kc with a s7 to s9 signal and NR knocks the noise + hiss down very effectively. With AGC, BW and SAM, the NR does (and has done) well.  

    Occasionally some impulse noise will be present and NB removes it but these instances are rare. Fortunately never needed WNB here.

    A BoG is a very effective receive antenna and 'ignores' noise. At this stations a hunk of enamel magnet wire was used without the grounds at each end, so it was simple to install.

    If it could cover the main ham bands, so let's say up to 23cm and down to 2200m I would put a deposit down today. Although 5/10GHz would be good too given the planned geostationary satellite will be five and dime. Doubt many have a use above 6Ghz but why not!

    Glad I was wrong. My 6700 will still hold its value for a while longer !!
