[K3PZN-List] Another New Rig

[Peter Morton]

A clarification.  Both the Flex-6700 and 6700R have two SCUs and both models 
cover .03 MHz to 77 MHz and 135 MHz to 165 MHz.  The 6700R is a receiver 
only.  The 6500 and 6700 are transceivers.  The 6500 has one SCU and covers 
.03 MHz to 77 MHz.

Flex is accepting pre-orders:
Flex-6500  $3999
Flex-6700  $6999
Flex-6700R $5999
Flex-6000 SmartSDR software 1-year renewal $199
The optional ham-band preselector filter bank is not yet listed.

It will be interesting to see the ARRL Lab reports on the Flex 6000 series, 
the new Yaesu FT DX-3000, and the new Kenwood TS-990S radios.
