    Is the date of completion of the CE certification process and the first delivery to the EU known?

    I am really surprised that Flex is not answering to the post......

    CE certification is in progress.  We are not making any forward-looking statements as to when that might be completed.  Since we sell exclusively through a dealer network in the EU, delivery questions are best answered by your distributor,  If they do not know, then they should contact Flexradio directly for the information.

    Just went back from FHN

    Let me point out thatK5SDR was missing, and I always saw him at FHN

    We have video of him thar last year announced new 6000 series in FHN and powergeniu, and no problem in short delivery but up to now many annoucements but no delivery.

    Not benefit for early adopters
    That's the real situation

    Hi Don,

    I sold my 6300, awaiting that the announcement of aviability of the 6400m leads to another trx for the ukw-contest weekend at 1st july weekend. I am not very optimistic that time since there had never been a reliable date for delivery.

    Now I am thinking of getting a IC7610 instead.
    Too bad, I really wanted a flexradio again but I need a trx now - I have no alternative rigs here...

    me too Marc.
    I had all flex equipments and unfortunately my 6500 burned out last summer, due to a really strong storm.


    I immediately ordered a 6600 for replacement and in the mean time I had no other TRX.

    time was going on and I start looking around for a possible alternative and my choice went to SUNSDR2PRO ,which is now in my station doing  a really good job and drive PA really fine even if only 20W output

    I cancelled my preorder witrh Flex consequently 

    that's my story

    SUNSDR2PRO seems to be a good alternative for me, too. Maybe I can cinfigure my vhf pa to handle 10w max instead of 20w. Then I would not need a xvtr any longer - the rmdr of the SUNSDR2PRO seems to bee good, even on vhf.

    Thanks for calling my attention to that rig. I will check this.

    If I am looking back to the last time of shipment (nearly 3 weeks), I think there is no chance to get a flex 6400m before the vhf july contest. That´s really a great pity since I wanted to get a flex 6400m instead of 6300 only for no longer need to drive a trx by computer :D.

    No happy end on that ;-(

    Hi Peter,

    I found nothing like that after using the search function and look around a little bit.
    May you can post a link here?

    As reported here in mid May, we have completed CE certification and are waiting for the final few required components to arrive in the next two weeks to begin assembly.  We expect to complete the entire current EU backlog to our distributors by the end of July.
