Flex 8000 Series

W2PP

so to close the loop. I re ordered a 8600. Yes I’m aware it will be 14 weeks plus. So why re order?
looking here and elsewhere on the net the number of issues with the new 8000 series has been very limited. Really zip. I concluded that Flex launched a stable radio. I congratulate Flex. Well done.

I’ll wait who knows perhaps pre distortion will be implemented by then. Any way I have great radios to keep me busy

Put in my down payment back in July. Haven't heard anything from Flex. Nothing. Total silence except for the crickets chirping.

You have an 8000 series order? You have checked your junk mail file?

Mike-VA3MW

Some people will not get the email broadcast as they unsubscribed from email notifications. I have no way to easily figure out who they are.

David, I checked on you and you were emailed at 7:36pm ET yesterday and it was received.

johnn1jm

Any reason not to put that out on the Community Forum, Groups.io and Facebook Flex group?

John N1JM

Mike-VA3MW

Yes. These are personalized emails. I don't need them on social media.

David Edgar

I didn't see it in my email. The last email I received from them was on Oct 3rd.

HI David

You might want to talk to who ever hosts your email. For some reason, they ate it. I can confirm it was sent.

I'll send it to you privately so you can read it.

Hi Russ

You don't seem to have an 8000 on order. It was only for those customers.

Russ Ravella

i didnt get one, but i just ordered the 8600 on Dec 13th. I got one forwarded to me, but it looked like the delays are on the M models only, the way i read it. Someone correct me if i misread. So, im curious how long others have waited for delivery? Weeks or months? Just curious of what one should expect. Thanks!
