I am in software development and if I took 4 months to address well known, minor bugs and annoyances I would be out of a job. It makes no sense to save everything up for a bigger release which will have a larger share of new bugs. It amazes me how large the pain tolerance of hams is with their favorite brand of radio but are big in the complain department with everything else.

Beyond Cone Head's obvious lack of interpersonal skills there is nothing important to come out of this discussion. This is about the CH small person wanting attention, and nothing about FRS.
I doubt anyone sold their Flex because they were impatient unless they really didn't have the resources (time, money, or talent) to be into their Flex anyway. But if they did, bully for them and to be clear YMMV is an absolute, so don't think your sale has any relevance to my experience.
If 1.4 isn't ready, I'll wait.
As always if a certain roadmap feature is critical to you, either don't buy until it is released and stable, or bite the bullet and wait with the rest of us.
Moaning is for when something is broken - and holding a release until it is ready is not a bad thing.
At least this thread gave me a chance to "Like" some wise words from many of you!

While waiting for V1.4 I can:
- Work DX
- Have some nice ragchewing QSOs
- Try to break the pile-ups of the recent DXpeds
I am absolutely interested in V1.4 and will be happy, when it arrives. And:
We are currently targeting January 30th for the release and feel confident we will hit this deadline. Trust me, we're all disappointed that this is the answer and we're working to get you a great v1.4 as soon as we can. (Greg Day, N8GD)So Flex is not due right now.
I am looking forward to all following improvements.
Keep up the good work.
