Mike:

   Sorry about your experiences with Flex.  Their products and
service have improved in the last two years, but I'll say no
more on that.  As for a $1,500 Flex radio to compare to the
7300, there isn't one because it's really apples and oranges.

All I know is that my Flex experience has been very disappointing from a customer service perspective.

The ICOM 7300 is supposed to go for around $1200 to $1500

Can one get a 100Watt Flex for that?

    Telepost also offers a QSD process in their aftermarket panadapter
    for certain radios.

    Ron:

       The Flex 5000 was the 1st DDC/DUC from Flex,
    but the 1000, 1500, and 3000 used QSD which is
    a cheaper direct sampling technology as have many
    other SDRs in the last 10 years or so.

        ICOM is claiming that they are the first to offer direct
        sampling .  I thought that most of the new Flex line already
        did that.

        Seems that all new rigs now claim they are SDR. Whatever that is.
