Flexradio 8000 vs 6000 - what is actually real new?

Gopro

For years i've been waiting for phase coherent receiving/diversity reception for noise cancellation/beamsteering/ESC in Flexradio and even in NEW 8000 series NOTHING, NADA ?!?

And i haven't eaven mentioned any other crapy functions - NR, NB, …

There are no excuses for something like that - this is an absolute no-go.

Fortunately, God's providence saved me at the last moment - not to wait for 8000 Series and don't waste my money on it.

And for 10 days now, I am the proud owner of ANAN G2 ULTRA !

Everything works as expected - A W E S O M E rig!

Make your own conclusion.

You're happy that is all that matters.

I own a Anan 8000DLE and a Flex 6600M. I like both for different reasons.

I like to support a company that supports QST, the Dayton Hamvention and other major hamfests.

And actually has good customer service and tech support. Something Apache Labs isn't known for.

I had an Anan G2 for 6 months. Updating was convoluted with bread crumbs to all the commands needed throughout their forum. Not to mention third party apps for serial and audio for PC operation. The NR2 was magic though.

Yes, if it wasn't for Warren Pratt and his WDSP library Thetis would not have the noise reduction that it does. Unfortunately, the new Anan radios do have a steeper learning curve than the previous generation of the Anan radios. Flex Radio uses a Linux OS internally just as the new G2 Saturn radios do. But, Flex Radio shields the user from the Linux OS and avoids a lot of headaches for their customers. I find that overall, the Flex Radio experience is way better than dealing with Apache Labs. We may not have NR2 ,but we have better support and communication than we would have with Apache Labs. To me, that has real value.
