New radio announcement at Dayton ??

I think both Flex and Elecraft missed the boat somewhere. They have units capable of SO2R but came out with amps that really don't support that mode of operation. KPA1500 has no SO2R capabilities so coupling it with the K4 is useless. Flex's amp is also limited without have a built in tuner. Even the add on tuner is still a ways away. Seems to me the long range planning on both parts left something to be desired.0

At least with Elecraft it works!0

Someone posted a New radio announcement at Dayton about the K4 but it;s gone? Why? Is it OK to compare transceivers? Isn't that what the Sherwood thing is all about? Flex is a great US company but so is Elecraft. They are both the creme de la creme.1
-
Yeah I noticed that... hmmm... not too cool.1
-
Was anything actually said about the Tuner Genius? Was there a demo unit
perhaps?

Elecraft had not officially announced the product. As a common courtesy, FlexRadio does not post our competitor's product announcements if they have been leaked.3

It has now been announced. That said, there is a censorship mentality among some representatives in the past
which beyond being a moral concern, is unnecessary as Flex can stand on its own.0 -
At the dinner last night, Flex announced that a version 2.5 will be forthcoming and addresses some bugs, as well as a similar update to Version 3 software.
Incidentally, nearly 400 will attend the two nights of Flex dinners. The Flex exhibit at the Hamvention has 20 personnel and roughly 20 operating stations. I don't believe any other exhibitor can match that.

I read some comments from the Flex dinner talks. It is nice to hear Flex is very very healthy and growing.1

It is very nice to see Tim back to take care of these kinds of things how ever long it last.1

Not at the booth but what I was told was that gerald visited ranko recently so they’re moving on some things. I cannot say specifically what they are discussing but they are actively working on joint projects.0
-
Commercial ones anyway. We had more than that in the ARRL expo0
-
The ARRL has 20 operating stations?0

Having the ability to watch 8 slices at the same time has me hooked on my 6700. Anything else would be below par for me.

Yes it does look nice. Ton's of I/O but still has that darn Power Pole connector.1
-
Can't wait to see what 2.5 has to offer.
Thanks to the FRS team for all the hard work.
Have fun at Hamvention 2019!1 -
You're absolutely right. Look at all the mcHF (and clones) and the upcoming QSX. QRP SDR is all the rage now and Flex is missing an opportunity to bring newbies into the fold with a Flex 1500-like product at an economical price.
As much as I enjoy them, I would not currently own my Anan-10e or my mcHF if Flex (or Elecraft) made a similar product.
