I do not have a Flex YET. I try to soak up any and all information I can
before hand and I have ran into some of the same types as you have.
There will always be a group that think unless it has tubes it's not a
radio. If it's not CW it's just not right and so forth. I take it with a
grain
I was struck by two things at the show yesterday.
1. The average age of the attendees. Most looked like they were around
retirement age.
- not so good for ham radio's future. Some attitudes never change.
2. How busy the Flex booth was.
- very good for Flex. Nice to meet you Tim.

First, Stan, let me say that I'm 71 plus and I've always felt blessed

A little bird told me that V/U modules for the 5K would be displayed

If so, what were people's impressions?

Is the Flex 5K with V/U modules installed capable of supplying 12VDC

This is a little off topic for this forum, however, the average age of
you, the ham operator, is climbing. It needs to be moving the other way.
You can make this happen by introducing youth to the hobby and maybe
even donating your old rig that is collecting dust to those new

PowerSDR v2 released in time for Dayton was definitely the goal. However,
Gerald has often said that no software or product will be released before it
is ready just to meet a deadline. I know that there are some issues still
being addressed. I think that it was probably very significant
Each time I check, my average age (over time) is increasing by 1/2 year
every year. Average over number (N=1) is 1 year per year.
Some folks say that age leads to wisdom. Others say, OFdom. Hams have been
complaining about OF's taking over since ~1915. You can read about it in
the old QSTs.

This may be worth looking at. I have used the Restore Data from EEPROM to

caused by database corruption.

There is a tool available to backup and restore sections from the DB.

You can use this to backup and restore your settings when you do a database
reset.
Pretty self explanatory when you load it up.
