I wouldn't schedule a trip to the Smithsonian just yet to view an
obsolete SDR know as a Flex 5000 A. First the rice burners have to
catch up to the 5K before it can become obsolete. No improvements does
not equal obsolete until its features are out classed by the rice burners.

One thought ... if Flex released the software then some enterprising
chap might
take on upgrading it. But I doubt that will happen.
Therefore, I predict the 5000's will continue to decline in value.
Perhaps in the
future they will be looked on as historical artifacts.

Here's my $0.02 from someone who's trying to sell a plain vanilla 5000a at the
moment.
I've been studying values of all the 5000 models as of late pretty closely.
The last 3 5000a with 2nd RX, tuner and V/U that I saw on QTH went for around
$2300. A big difference than 6-8 months ago when

Why not charge for PowerSDR updates, like SmartSDR? I have gotten a lot of
free updates since I purchased my first Flex radio about 6 years ago, and I
am happy for that. But if future updates require a payment to Flex to keep
the code updated, I would certainly consider it. The software is more

I have to agree. I'd also be interested in purchasing updates to PowerSDR if
they were available.

One of the big problems with the pricing of both new and second hand Flex

I have been thinking of buying a 6500 and sell my Flex 5000. Trying to
determine what its worth today. Mine is a 5000a, 2nd rx, and a V/U module.
Could not find any recent sales that looked like my config. Any ideas of worth
or has anybody seen any recent sales for a radio like mine?
Thanks,
Your Flex is a rare bird thanks ot the u/v board.
160 meters to 70 cm all locked to GPS. None of the 6k
series can match that.
