One of the biggest announcements to come out of Dayton Hamvention® 2026 was the news that DX Engineering would be selling FlexRadio’s Aurora
Series Transceivers, adding to the lineup of FlexRadio products it already carries.
With the announcement, DX Engineering became an exclusive distributor of Aurora 500-Watt HF/6-Meter SDR Transceivers in the U.S., extending its role within FlexRadio’s network of international distribution partners. In 2025, DX Engineering joined that network as an exclusive U.S. distributor of FlexRadio’s FLEX-8000 Series Transceivers, Maestro Control Console, and accessories.

A few months before Hamvention, DX Engineering’s Michael, KI8R, caught up with Tony, K1KP, Steve, N5AC, and Gerald, K5SDR, from FlexRadio during Orlando HamCation for a deep dive into this breakthrough rig.
At the heart of the Aurora is a revolutionary 500-watt PEP HF/200W 6-meter transmitter module that features a 500-watt solid-state power amplifier. The module achieves 80% nominal efficiency—a major leap over conventional MOSFET and LDMOS designs. This results in less heat to dissipate, a smaller heatsink, a lighter radio (18 lbs.), and exceptional RF performance. The Aurora’s compact, all-in-one design includes everything inside its rugged chassis: amplifier, automatic antenna tuner, and power supply with standard IEC plug accepting 80–264VAC.
