Aurora comparison question

Other than the obvious(500 watt transmitter, built in power supply, transmit tuner), are there any other advantages over a 8600?

Thanks for any help.

    The Aurora Radio is a FLEX-8000 series with the updated transmitter simply put.

    Just 1 more Aurora question. I put a 1K refundable deposit on the 3rd round for a 510. As I just ordered a 8600 to go with my 8400….How do I get credited back for the Aurora deposit?

    Email sales (sales@flexradio.com) with the details and what you want to do.

    Sales does not monitor the community. Sorry if you are having an issue, but this is the wrong place to get it resolved.
