Sent my SDR-1000 to Flex due to a no transmit / receive condition on 40 meters. First problem I ever had with it. It was received on 8/28/09. I am curious if anyone else had any non-warranty repairs performed and how long it took. I really miss my Flex. Good thing my trusty old Kenwood 870

Jay, It might take a while. There is a current ECO for the FLEX-3000 that started Sept 1 that will take precedence since it is an in-production radio. You will need to contact the Service department directly to find out what the time to fix will be. -Tim -Original Message- From:

The reflector is for users of FlexRadios. The Flex Service folks do not monitor it. You have to ask FlexRadio for a RMA and they will tell you when to send the radio in and when you should expect it back. The info on how to do this is in the Knowledge Base under FLEX-3000-ECOs -Tim
