[Elecraft] [OT] Dayton- new hf rigs?

[wb4jfi at knology.net]

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".  Given the amount of processing done inside 
the 6000 series, except for requiring gig-e, I'm not sure that a honking 
computer is required.

BTW, you really need to research DDCs.  Previous comments about signals 
combining exponentially seems a little off.  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".

Where did you see $3900 for the Flex 6500?  I was told $5995 for the
"single front end" radio and $7999 for the dual front end radio.  That
doesn't include a high end computer with multiple displays and a $200
per year software license fee.
