[CQ-Contest] Flex radios

[cqtestk4xs at aol.com]

At the hamfest last weekend I had some extra time Sunday and wandered over to the Flex radio site. and had a long sit down with one of the reps.  I did a hands on with the 6500  and was truly impressed, especially with how "easy" it was on the ears.

I currently have a pair of K-3s for SO2R and have kicked around replacing these with the 6500.  I know K9CT as well as a couple others who use the Flex stuff.  I really would like to hear from them and others about these radios and how they compare to the K-3s in a contesting and Dxing situation...ease of use, operator friendly, audio quality for listening as well as transmit etc.  Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
