I recently became excited about the Flex-5000 but after reading a bunch of comments 
about it's poor performance with sending CW because of latency, I have cooled  my
enthusiasm.

  I wonder if the software radios are comparable to the K-3?
  If so, isn't SDR the least likely to become obsolete.
  Has anyone discussed the performance differences between the two radios?
  Also, how much of the SDR performance is software dependent?
  tx and 73
