They are indeed very nice radios!
However, they are not working on VHF or UHF. The only option is to use a transverter which is kind of funny since the whole idea was to get away from "hardware" and do it in "software". I really hope Flex would design a VHF, UHF SDR for satellite operation. That would be a fantastic.

Hello Piero, Robin, VE3FRH has two Flex radios and is most impressed with them. He did an audio -visual presentation at our Club in Australia a few weeks ago and is convinced this is the way of the future. After hearing him speak on this I was quite impressed this their capabilities.

Hello everybody.
I was wondering if anybody has experimented with the FLEXI RADIO Software
Defined Radios on satellites. I know the
SDR 5000 can do dual receive, but can cross-band full duplex be done as
well?
Grateful for any wisdom.
