Is there any plan to improve the noise reduction? e.g. NR2

You two are true experts on Flex. But, if I did not already have a Flex 3000 and figured out how to use the AGC(T) on my own to emulate how I have used the RF Gain as my audio volume control for the past 60 years, I would not have been able to follow this video other than superficially. Let me suggest that if you prepare a script as opposed to a wandering, off the cuffand stream of consciousness and have recorded examples to insert into a new taping on this topic, you will do a great service to your Flex owners/purchasers.

Mike and Tim, I got a little confused:) from what i was reading on a Flex site you want around 8-10db difference between no antenna and antenna. In you example on 40m when you left preamp at 0 it was only 4db difference! Am i missing something?

HELP lol. I have purchased a flex 3000. After install everything seemed fine but after a few minutes the audio on recieve becomes very bubbles for a few minutes then returns to normal? And help would be greatly appreciated.
