[SCCC] Flex Radio

[Dr. Howard S. White]

I suggest rather than taking random opinions you might want to watch the Flex videos

https://www.flexradio.com/videos/

which will give you in depth previews of the various features

I have been running Flex Radios remotely since 2011 and they performed well for me in contests
I have run them from 31 different countries even from the bottom on the English Channel and on a Zodiac Boat at SV/A
The iPad and iPhone apps are superb and nothing else comes close

I do not understand Bruce WA7BNM comment about not being able to network CAT, Audio and CW
As I can do everything remotely anywhere in the world on my Flex with NO EXTERNAL Equipment
So I suspect it may be a learning curve issue for him albeit I rarely do CW enough to give a damn
But I easily run FT8 from anywhere in the world via my iPad

I have owned 2 Flex as well as most top of the line Icom. Flex has the best receivers I have used and by far the best visual band display and built in DX spots. It’s purpose built for internet connection so it is by far the easiest to remote.  

I am not a CW guy but I know Flex users such as K9CT win cw contests.

Is anyone in the club using a 6x00 Flex Radio?  I am thinking of buying one and would be interested in your experience. My primary mode is cw.

You can email me at w6lax at arrl.net

Thanks, Roger
