Greetings. Lately when I attempt to turn on the Flex 5000 nothing
happens...repeated attempts will eventually result in the power coming on.
Then when I attempt to turn off the 5000 I have the same issue...won’t turn off
without repeated attempts. Press and hold, press quickly and release,
Game changer? Makes me a bit apprehensive seeing as how I just got my 5000
and haven't powered it up yet. I would not be a happy camper to have bought
one of the very last of the OLD ones instead of one of the first of the
new ones.

Perhaps not related, but my switch power switch does not always make
good contact. The button used to stick and I had to reposition the front
panel ever so slightly and it still acts up at times. Sometimes I can
see the LED sputtering from poor contact. It is not the most reliable
switch.

Find out how at the Dayton Hamvention or on our website May 18th.

If they do put out a new piece of hardware that becomes their new flagship, you
might well see MANY 5000a being sold on the cheap to get the new flagship.
Just my opinion.
We only have a short time to wait. We all will know soon enough.

Neal,
Based on some rumors from a consistently unreliable source, here are my
guesses:
It will have a touch screen which can be skinned to emulate any rig ever
made. The default will be the KWM-2A, with the SB-101 next choice. (A K3
skin has been developed, but is tied up in court.)

Many thanks for making your announcement the day before Mothers Day. You
allowed me to make a speed run to Walgreens where I bought a box of
chocolates and some fake roses. In the event that the game changer
involves writing a check to Flex for a new radio, it always helps to
schmooze

Last January, we put in a completely new kitchen, complete with Quartz

I would be surprised at that. Last year at Dayton I asked about Deep

AHA - that's it! I had been wondering what this new game changer could be.
I just realized - THE GAME CHANGER IS: Flex will announce official
support for the Hercules DJ mp3.
If that is it, I agree with Flex. The Hercules is truly a game-changer.

I use an Arrow Antenna for 144/433 work and it plays very well with TS-790A.
At max 144 power (35 watts) it generates a few birdies on 432 downlink but I
reduce power to about 15 watts and they are gone.
The antenna is up about 15' with 25' runs of RG-213 to the rig. Bon, NZ5A

I agree, Flex has stopped being a Software Radio company.

Paul,
I use separate antennas, but have found that setting the AGC-T properly is
essential. If set too high, it will amplify the noise, and it wipes out the
downlink. By backing off, per the instructions in the manual, RX works very
well.
If I found the correct antenna on the Gulf Alpha site,

Alan, thanks for this tip. I wasn't the original writer of this issue but will
try it. When I do reduce power it gets rid of birdies and intermodal on the
downlink but makes it very marginal to make contacts near the horizon. This
should help.

I have one of those and I've used it numerous times, including several

My hope? A module for the Flex-5000 that adds an Ethernet port for
