Yes I also have ICOM and Yaseu and Kenwood equipment, but my Flex rules the roost here.

Well said and done. We have a senior member of the local club who had pretty much given up on HF. He is approaching 90 years old/young and been a ham forever but... has never earned DXCC. FT8 has given him a renewed interest in HF and he is vigorously pursing the DXCC he has never been able to capture before. You should have seen him smile as he was telling a group of us about it.  So... there you go, that's all he needed.  73 Dave

Thanks for sharing your experience Dave. I also took FT8 as a tool to pick up ham radio again after a few years off. I only been with my Flex 6300 for 5 months, but needless to say I haven’t turn on my Icom 7300 (now a back up rig) since and I don’t think I will return to other radios than Flex.

Now I’m getting used to the Flex environment and “run with Flex” extras. It’s a whole new world and quite an amazing one.
