[CQ-Contest] Flex 5000 and SO2R

[Doug Scribner]

I am considering replacing my IC-746Pro with a Flex-5000 for casual contesting and Dxing. In doing research, I find a lot of info but most of it is from 2010 and earlier.

I currently run DxLab for general logging and N1MM for contests.

I am interested in dabbling in SO2R but would rather have all the equipment in one box rather than adding a 2nd radio/interface to my current setup. I do not run an amp but do have access to multiple antennas on 2 towers.

Is there anyone in this community running the Flex in this way and if so would you please give me some Pros/Cons of this setup?

Thanks and 73
