OK! More clues - Am I getting close?
Black (gray? blue?) box radio with embedded processor.
Receiver digital from the get-go.
Transmitter PA digital (class d?)
Radio could require a touch-screen monitor
OR maybe a networked PC or tablet for control
How big is the box?
How high is the price?

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
I just had an epiphany.. I think the new radio will cost the same or less
than the 5K. Maybe it will be the 5K-direct IP or something and be the
replacement. It is possible that it will be an upgradde although I am not
sure if hardware-wise that would be possible. I guess we will have to wait
My hope? A module for the Flex-5000 that adds an Ethernet port for control
instead of FireWire. (I'm aware of the latency/jitter issues, however I
believe them to be solvable, and a guy can dream, right?)

Or, better, a brand new Direct Sampling radio that connects to the PC via

How about improved MF capability? WRC-2012 included the allocation of
472-479khz for the amateur service.
My Flex 1500 receiver is presently pretty much useless on MF freqs
due to lack of an appropriate lowpass filter and the proximity of the AM
broadcast band.

Well we all know that what ever Flex releases next that it will not be a real
radio unless it has at lease twice as many buttons and knobs as the new

The CDRX-3200 is very capable receiver BUT it is most definitely a QSD radio.

The direct sampling receiver (if you mean a big fast A/D hooked to the
front end (filters/preamps) is not on the web site yet because there
is development left on
Doing a filter like this is typically low volume, low return, and
never ever repays the non-recurring engineering costs. If someone has
a fantastic filter design, tested, and ready to go, let Flex know and
they might even market it.

180Msps Direct Sampling Receiver
16 Streaming 250kHz Channels
Polyphase Down Sampling DDCs

Phase Noise: -150 dBc/Hz

My guess? PowerSDR is frozen. A completely new interface and SDR software
that is superior and easier to use and implement has been developed as a
proprietary product of Flex Radio and will be sold as such.

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
