[CQ-Contest] Flex radios

[Joe]

This is quite interesting.
Makes me think what are people kin K9CT doing and others that are using 
flex's
that this one Field Day site did not do when I got this comment a while ago,


There is a case from a Colorado Field Day operation where a Flex 6300 
had to be removed and was replaced by an IC-706MkIIG!  See attached 
PDF.   The 6300 has no front end at all other than a high pass at 1.7 
MHz and a low pass at 55 MHz.
