I swapped it for a IC-7300 for portable operations (Air B&B's etc) and POTA. I started with a FTDX3000 and it was ok - I kept it for a while after purchasing a Flex 6600 but there was nothing remarkable about it that justified keeping it.
#Ft 891 if out panadapter software
For a 7300, you are looking at $900-$1000 and when you start adding bits and pieces to the 7300 such as and you are now within $600 of the Flex and still don't have any of the antenna port options, usb and interlock ports, local or remote operations capabilities, together with all the software features. You can add a 3rd party IF interface to a 7300 to connect it to an inexpensive SDR to expand its pan adapter if that is important to you.įorgot to mention the Flex Tracking Notch Filters (TNF) which is a feature to die for all by itself ) It's about $2200 for a Flex 6400 with ATU and I have seen them 2nd hand around $1900. That being said, the 7300 is a really nice transceiver which I enjoy operating. Just for this post, I connected to my Flex 6400 via iOS app… Right now, my local Flex 6600 is monitoring 30M, 20M, 17M bands with three independent copies of WSJT-X while I also monitor SSB on 20M on my remote Flex 6400. Architecture is based on VITA49 API for software orchestration and automation using say Node-Red.
Client software incorporates Sound and CAT Control for easy integration with digital programs. Client software via Windows, MacOS, and iOS. Native local and remote multiuser capabilities. Native remote operations via LAN and WAN ethernet connections. Transmit interlock ports for rotators, tuners, and amplifiers. USB ports for relay and BCD connections allowing complex antenna switching options. Multiple Antenna and Transverter port options. Flex may look over priced but there are features on these radios that are easily overlooked.
