How to modify your FlexRadio 6700 for a Boat Anchor

I am serious, the crushing is more dramatic and the boat anchor shows that I am finished with Flex.

HiHave you received any of the emails that we have sent you in the last 7 days?Mike

I'm surprised all these smart engineers didn't suggest to setup a point to point from your wifi router to your coach. If you got internet in your house there is no reason why you can't have it 150' or 3 miles from your house. A simple P2P will do it, we do it all the time to get internet from houses to out buildings, garages etc. Far cheaper than putting cable in conduit and burying it.

Van,

As an owner of a 6700 and having gone thru **** getting it repaired I can certainly sympathize with your frustration.

You pay top dollar for a high end rig and expect it to perform as advertised. In my case I had to send the radio in for frequency stability issues. During that time I had voice mails ignored, written requests for updates ignored, repeated promised completion times unfulfilled and numerous misdiagnosis of the problems. 

Flex then said I had a serious spur problem that I didn't even know existed and no one on the air commented or complained about.

The service people could not find the source of the spurs. It got so bad that the man who designed the rig, Gerald, could not even determine the source of the spur problem and ended up replacing the entire transceiver board as a last resort. 

Imagine, the people that designed and work on these radios all day could not find out what was wrong with it.

I've worked in systems design for over 35 years and if any of my workers wrote software that they could not debug I would have fired them on the spot.

Good luck with your rig.

Now cue the ever present Guardians Of The Royal Order Of Flex.

Bottom line Pat is in your numerous posts you have said many things, so my information is based on what information  you supplied. You involved the community with your continuous negative posts on the subject. You choose to go public and continue to try to sour Flexradio, you choose to do that.  I for one think Flexradio has treated you more than fairly, which I won't get into again. So again, don't be surprised to get a response.

Well, when my voice mails were ignored and written requests unanswered by FRS the most effective way to get action was to go public.  Worked like a charm.
