Note
The FLEX-5000A is a software-defined radio transceiver using high-performance 24-bit A/D and D/A converter technology to provide world-class receiver performance.
The FLEX-5000A is an HF-6M transceiver that utilizes FlexRadio’s unique Quadrature Sampling Detector (QSD) and Quadrature Sampling Encoder (QSE) technology. It is designed to work in conjunction with a PC running Windows (XP, Vista, or 7) via a FireWire connection. The system is powered by the PowerSDR software, which is a GPL open-source platform. The hardware includes multiple antenna ports, keying circuitry, and a full-featured transverter interface.
Features
