Mack,
I would love to stop by the shack and check it out in operation but we won't
be back out in that area for a few more weeks yet (god it is great to be
counting in weeks now). So far I have watched every video on YouTube and
looked though the website thoroughly as my research on the rig and have been
impressed to the fullest with what I have seen -- with the filters and
everything else takes a $1500~ rig and makes it sound like a $5000 from what
I have seen. Main reason I am looking at one is I have a FT-897D that I am
using for the station right now and would like something that I can use for
S&P mode (while using the FT897 as my 'CQ' rig) and I think being able to
'see' the spectrum would make a world of difference as I am a visual type
person anyways.
Have you by chance used the radio with RTTY yet? I am drawn towards the
TTY/PSK contest and am curious how effective it has been with that task for
you if you have.
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy

Jeremy,
I use the Flex 5000A in every contest and it works FB for my operating
style. I and other members of SECC used my Flex 3000 during Field Day last
year and it too yielded our highest score to date. May I suggest that you
pay a visit to my shack and I give you a demo of the Flex. Then you can make
your own decision to see if it fits your needs.

Mack de WB4MAK

Anyone ever owned a Flex 3000 and used it for contesting purposes? I am just
curious how it faired for you, thinking of maybe getting one and adding it
to the shack. Looking forward to some input from the group..
