I agree with you guys, the Flex is something else. I do use my other rigs for antenna tune up but thats about it. I got this thing at Dayton this spring and it has been a blast, its not exactly plug and play but when you get it going--! I feel blind with out the display anymore. W8XO Charles Gr

I've had my SDR-1000 since about April of this year. It is the only radio I have online at this time. I've owned a lot of radios from different time periods. 1937 thru the present, including things from broadcast transmitters to new solid state equipment. Much of this I still have, and I do pla

Hi, I haven't used an ordinary radio since field day. I have an Omni-VI, a couple of K2s, an IC 706 and three lesser transceivers but use the SDR-1000 except for portable/mobile. I think I will unload most of them this winter and just keep a portable rig and the SDR-1000. I did have a K2 si
