In 2009, I discovered the Flex Radio site and now use a Flex 5000A, mostly on CW. Involved in digital modes (PSK31 mostly), satellite operations using the analog birds such as the new HO-68. Also do some meteor scatter on 2 metres using WSJT software . Have to save money to buy the new 6000 Flex Radio they announced recently.
