> Did they ever get teh CW operation up to par?
Flex staffers/reps were still downplaying CW performance (that means that
when the subject came up there were a lot of averted glances, mumbling and
equivocating), at least as of Dallas Ham-Com in June.
It looks like a neat radio, and is certainly the direction of things to
come, but it's no Orion, even counting the supposed warts.
There are a lot of positives from open source, there are many more
negatives. You don't see many Linux vendors these days giving away their
Enterprise-class software as freebies from a bunch of volunteer developers,
and I can't imagine you'll see that from any mainline radio vendor, and down
the road probably not even from Flex if they have a brain ....
