Why didn't you ask him if there's going to be a 6700 version in the 8000 series ? What about phase coherent diversity reception ?

[butch]

An 8-slice upgrade replacement for the 6700 flagship please! FRS designed the 6700 once, just need an upgrade!

[don_nskt]

Thanks Kyle and Mike. Looking forward to a longer video after the show

[greglyons]

I've had a 6400 for a couple years now and just got the Apache labs g2 a couple months ago Flex has its place but man they have a long way to go especially the software side of things get out of the software side of the business and let the open source guys do there thing could be so much better

[Homer]

When Kyle kept saying: yes, Yes, YES!!! I kept hearing that cafeteria scene in When Harry Met Sally.

[hkmps]

This will fundamentally change ham radio forever. Flex has just caused a paradigm shift that will change the way we enjoy our hobby. What a time to be alive!

[marseagle]

(You said you'd edit out the duplicated slides, but you forgot.)

[fnordist]

is the internal soundcard also gpsdo calibrated? e.g 1khz tone is 1000hz not 998 or 1002 and stuff?

[marnow]

Would the trade-up program be available?

[eagleupdrones]

I’d like to find a video that breaks these features down to super dumb level. Newbies like me don’t know anything about what you’re saying. You would sound better without a mic in front of your mouth. Thanks for the attempt to convey your product. Not likely I will get it due to the loss in translation. I guess I will have to find YouTube videos on each individual feature your taking about to figure out if I would want your radio.

[jimkennedy]

They need to show me the back of the Radio the business end of the radio

[KDZHF]

This is my birthday! I'm so happy that FlexRadio and Michael will give me all their new stuff on my birthday. I can't wait for the FlexRadio FluxCapacitor's release!!

[Gogs]

I, m an sdr user but not flex but always interested what companies are doing in the sdr world, the 8400 seems a great addition, . I guess the comment which Mike made saying, changes to software will not be implemented un less we can make money out of them, Hmm, let's hope he meant certain ideas for features they think will not help sell the radio because some people will not find them of interest, who knows?. Anyways I'm sure the new radio will create a lot of interest.

The launch should have been a bright red silk curtain covering an 80" 4K OLED monitor... Drum roll please The new SMART SDR 4.0 with a whole new look and the 8XXX radio. Then the Flex guy clicks the mouse and the new adaptive pre-distortion TWO TONE makes the correction in the third order at -62 and everyone at Dayton would go WOW!!! From what I see so far with this new product launch every potential new feature being introduced for the 8xxx series seems based on future software coding for it to work. At this point, it’s Vaporware until the firmware/software catches up with the new proposed hardware in August 2025...

[Bonsai-Miata]

How many thousands of dollars is this going to be?

[WUShamradio]

Wow, 20 minutes in and you’ve already sold me on a new flex 8000 series. I’m really thinking about ditching my 890 for this.

[arniep]

Thanks for this heads-up. Pre-distortion? Really? Finally? Apache Anan has only had that for many years!

[stevecampisano]

I'd consider an upgrade from a 6600M to an 8600 (non-M). I just bought 2 Maestros (1 for a backup) so I can use one for the 8600 & one for my 6700 ...

[mikemcdonald]

Look at this an HDMI how American of you. Why can't Yaesu or Icom do this why do they punish us with old DVI port. Amazing a radio can be made with HDMI. why can't Yaesu Icom techs figure this out?/

[johnratcliffe]

I don't like the appearance of the waterfall - can those colours be changed?
