Joe, if you go to the Flex on-line store, you will see the 6500 is $3,999, which I reported in an earlier email. Yes, that does NOT include the computer or the software "fee".

I think the military and other users (including Quicksilver, HPSDR, HiQSDR, and SDR-IQ users) might be slightly surprised by that math. >From a K3 lover, and not necessarily a Flex lover, but in the interest of "balance". 73 Terry, WB4JFI -----Original Message----- From: Joe Subich, W4TV Sent: Monday, May 21, 2012 1:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [OT] Dayton- new hf rigs? > Flex is releasing the new 6500 and 6700 radios.
