objections. It has a good receiver (actually really good, for the modest
price), but in order to make it usable as a QRP DX radio I had to add an
outboard keyer (Hamgadgets MK1) and an outboard hardware controller
(Hercules MP3 DJ interface -- awesome for controlling a radio!). I hadn't
seen Lyle's post, but all the same thoughts percolated through my mind while
I was trying to get the Flex up to snuff.
