[Elecraft] Flex 3000 or KX3

[Mike Murphree]

Keep in mind that for any of the Flex radios, you will need a relatively
modern, fast computer as well with a Firewire interface.  I would expect
that you'd spend at least $1000 for a computer good enough and still expect
to do some tweaking. A recent Mac will also work, but not under emulation.
 BootCamp with a copy of Win 7 ($$) is suggested for a Mac.
