I wonder why the VU5K was not integrated more fully into the Flex 5000.
The Flex 5000 is such a superb radio and it is nice to have the power
and SWR meters as well as antenna switching capabilities. In my
opinion, not having these features for the 2m and 70cm bands makes the
VU5K less functional it could have been. Is it fair to say that the
VU5K is essentially a transverter that is installed internally? If so,
I wonder if it might have been better to make it available as a stand
alone unit and get around the issues of potential heat buildup and the
need for an additional internal fan. The additional fan in the Flex
5000A box has created a noise issue for some VU5K users.

Yes. The VU does not have an RF bridge to read power.

With the TX Meter set to FWD PWR I see 0 watts output when TXing on
2m and
70cm FM or SSB makes no difference. Also SWR shows 0.
Is this normal for VU5K operation?
