Adaptive Pre-Distortion (APD) to be included in a v3 release

in FLEX-8000 Signature Series

In another discussion Dave, wo2x said:

3.8.20 will not be the last 3.x release.

APD will be in a future 3.x release and free for 8000 series owners

This seems to have gone unnoticed and I wanted to bring attention to this as I think this is a great gesture from FlexRadio to it's user base. Since the 8000 series is now shipping, they did say that APD will be free when it's ready for 8000 users and will not require a paid software upgrade. Now we know how that is going to be done. APD will be included in a 3.x release and since latest release (v3.8.20) is included in new 8000 radios, APD will be free. FlexRadio is demonstrating they are standing by what they said they would do and kudos to that !

We all kinda knew this but this discussion was started for the benefit of the newcomers to FlexRadio and this online community.

    Good information…thanks.

    I'd also like to get an update on availability of APD "samplers" for use with the 8000 and a non-Flex amplifier.

    I was at the Flex Banquet in 2024 when Flex said that they would be releasing APD in the fall and then we heard Jan/Feb 2025. my question is when will it be released?

    But no Buddy Emmons, Stephen Stills, or James Burton.

    Oh, and don't forget Jim Gordon!

    Just sayin…

    Sorry for the sidetrack, I couldn't pass up the lead by Trucker.
