If you are trying to emulate a voice keyer, the PowerSDR record/playback facilities are not best suited for that. Look at Ray's K9DUR's VoiceKeyer program http://kc.flex-radio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50275.aspx -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz

Approximately 8-10 dB of IMD DR3 on RX. The FLEX-5000 is better. The RX on the FLEX-5000 has filter banks (not the DSP passband filters) that are independent from the transmitter. The FLEX-3000 has one filter bank shared between the TX and RX. You can find the other difference in the product

Besides the obvious hardware flexibilities designed into the 5000, the only thing I can say is the 5000 feels like a radio almost double the cost of the 3000. I cannot say any one area that I noticed that screamed Not your 5000a Buddy! but the rx has a sense of silkiness (sri, I am an audiophile
