It is quite easy to remote the power on and off on the Flex 3000. The front
panel power switch toggles on and off. One merely depesses the switch to the
"on" position and the radio can be turned on and off by remotely applying 12
VDC to the radio. There are several manufacturers that produce Internet AC
power control units. Simply by plugging the Flex power supply into one of the
AC ports, the flex 3000 can be remotely powered.
Unfortunately, the Flex 5000 does not have a turn-on, turn-off front power
switch. Its power switch does not toggle on and off; one depresses the switch,
then releases to turn the radio on and off. However, I found by keeping the
front power switch mechanically depressed, it can be remotely powered just like
the 3000. Simply by putting a piece of industrial grade tape over the power
switch while it is depressed allows one to remotely power the 5000 on and off
by simply remotely applying 12 Volts as with the 3000.
