Gee David.
maybe it's my old age.
but I'm having enough trouble keeping up with the new or improved
features we get every couple weeks.
I tell my ham friends, owning a Flex is like getting a new radio twice a
month.
But it could be that I am just not very knowledgeable about programming.
So each improvement like TNF is a small miracle to me.

For almost five years FRS has been making announcements about a New
Architecture/Deep Impact development which, it was claimed, would permit
implementation of enhancements such as independent mode/filter etc selection on
the Multiwatch VFO; implementation of Multiwatch and independent mode/filter
etc on the optional second receiver; totally separate panadaptor panels for
the main and second receivers; rewriting of the GUI to sort out the appalling
mess created when the second receiver was added (the epitome of an
afterthought). Additionally, many of the user enhancement requests (now
standing at some 644) have, in the past, been annotated with wording to the
effect that implementation would be dependent upon the NA/DI. Not to mention
the many other enhancements requested directly by Brian Lloyd et al.
Now that the Deep Impact development has, seemingly, been abandoned, an
announcement apparently being made at the Dayton Dinner in early May but
advised to the wider Flex community only a few days ago by Neal Campbell,
(neither confirmed nor denied by FRS themselves) the question is:
What happens next?
If DI has been abandoned does that also mean that all these enhancements have
also been abandoned and will never see the light of day?
If incremental enhancements are going to be the order of the day, what are we
talking about in terms of the above enhancements...another five years...ten
years...twenty years...sometime...never?
Many Flex customers are in danger of falling off their perch due to an over
abundance of patience...don't you think you owe them something more than the
contempt you have shown over the last few years?
