questions.
We will continue to support the VU5K in future releases of PowerSDR.
External relay switching would be required for use of a preamplifier. Note
that the VU5K has a very low noise figure so you
When you are dealing with today's state of the art technology this should be of
no surprise. When I bought my Flex 5000 I expect no more than 10 years service.

Can FlexRadio tell us what component(s) is / are obsolete without viable
replacement(s)?
Hopefully this will not happen to the Deep Impact 6700 radios after 15

In my opinion, Flex need to assure to his customers a long time life of all
