Sorry but the story about the ENCLOSURE availability is very hard to buy ......
It's not like it is a hand hammered aluminum shape crafted by artisans .... personally I always felt that it resembled something from a high school science fair project. With almost 1/10 of this country out of work it shouldn't be that difficult to find a metal shop willing to produce a suitable exoskeleton for such fine components .... -----Original Message----- From: Flexedge [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Jerzycke Sent: Sunday, May 19, 2013 7:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [FlexEdge] Is the 5000 gone forever? I think our Friends at Flex are going to have to plan a press release stating that: "Due to the ENCLOSURE vendor changing their requirements, we can no longer source the ENCLOSURE for the Flex 5000 at an economical price. Therefore, since we can no longer buy the ENCLOSURE in an affordable manner, and have not been able to find another ENCLOSURE vendor, we have decided to suspend production of the Flex 5000 since the ENCLOSURE is no longer economically available. All other parts except the ENCLOSURE will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future." Maybe then everybody would realize it's just the ENCLOSURE that has made this fine radio unproducible at the current cost. BTW, I would have made the font size bigger, but I didn't want to insult the readers of the reflector who have followed this whole affair, and know why the Flex 5000 has been dropped, 73, Jim KQ6EA On 05/19/2013 11:37 PM, Christopher D.
