 FLEX-5000A July QST Product Review Now Available for DownloadIn the July 2008 issue of QST, Rick Lindquist, WW3DE published a very complimentary product review of the FLEX-5000A. Quoting Rick from the article, he said "The FLEX-5000A offers more features and flexibility than virtually any other transceiver I’ve ever seen and possibly any other radio on the market.". The ARRL lab's measurements confirm that the FLEX-5000A achieves 99 dB two-tone, third order dynamic range and +39 dBm IP3 at @ 2 kHz spacing! This is world class performance. Worthy of note is that PowerSDR v1.12.0 already makes the article out of date before the ink has dried on the magazine. Virtually every comment made about the radio in the article has already been addressed in the new release of PowerSDR, including automatic buffer settings by mode and screen resizing. This illustrates the power of the Open Source Software Defined Radio paradigm. We want to assure you that "FlexRadios" will, "just keep getting better and better and better."
A reprint of the FLEX-5000A product review is now available for download in PDF format from our Downloads web page for those who do not receive or have access to QST. Turn your FLEX-5000 into a Triplex Transceiver with the Addition of the Second Independent Receiver (RX2)
The RX2 is an all mode, all band completely independent receiver that has the same ultra-high performance specifications as the primary receiver. When utilized with the upgraded HRFIO board, the FLEX-5000 becomes a true SO2R solution in a single radio enclosure. Features such as diversity reception and a host of other capabilities will be possible with the RX2, such as actually monitoring your transmitted signal in real time just to name one.
RX2 can be ordered from the FlexRadio On-Line Store. Details about the RX2 can be found on the FLEX-5000 Upgrades web page. RX2 is easy to install; the RX2 installation instructions can be found here.

Transceivers Available at Any Price with 2 kHz Spacing, Two-Tone 3rd
Order Dynamic Range of ~100 dB (ARRL test method).
There is NO need to purchase additional expensive ultra narrow "roofing" filters to achieve world class dynamic
range at any spacing. The FLEX-5000 includes at no additional cost an
interactive 192 KHz lab grade RF spectrum analyzer with spot-on ClickTune™ capabilities for rapid signal acquisition and "on the fly" Drag-n-Set™ transmit and receive filter capabilities.
The FLEX-5000 Family of High Performance Software Defined Radios 
The FLEX-5000A™ follows the very popular SDR-1000™. The next generation of software defined radios now integrates all I/Q audio and hardware control over a single FireWire (IEEE-1394) connection to a user provided computer. Additionally, all analog to digital conversions are performed internally in the FLEX-5000 so an external sound card is not required. The other version of the FLEX-5000 (model C) provides a higher level of integration and convenience with a CPU built inside.
The FLEX-5000C™ model has all of the features of a FLEX-5000A in addition to a built in Intel Core2 Duo processor and comes with the Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating system, wireless keyboard and mouse.
