    chiming in from the uk, the whole flex pcb can be exchanged for another one, if they have them in stock. If the US does not have them, then try the German repair centre

    Nathan, Unless it has been struck by lightning , it can surely be fixed one way or the other. Just open a Help Desk ticket and request an RMA , for tracking. https://helpdesk.flexradio.com/hc/en-us/ 73, Dudley

    Klaus is correct.  We can do board level replacement on the FLEX-3000 and make one work, even if it has been struck by lightning.  Now, this type of repair is not inexpensive and you should get a quote on it by opening an RMA like Dudley suggested and sending it in for evaluation.  That will cost you 1 hour of bench time ($99).
