If you’re considering ordering the Aurora, here’s what the latest update reveals and why it matters:

• Groundbreaking New Platform: Aurora isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a from-the-ground-up redesign. It introduces entirely new hardware and software systems, reflecting a significant leap in innovation over previous models.

• Exceptional Engineering Rigor: FlexRadio has gone beyond its usual development process. Some boards are already at revision H, highlighting the extensive refinement and commitment to getting it right before shipping.

• Regulatory Milestones Achieved: The product has successfully passed major ETSI and FCC compliance tests, indicating readiness for both U.S. and European markets. Safety testing is next and well-prepared, thanks to proactive design work.

• Next-Gen Software and Test Infrastructure: SmartSDR and factory systems are being upgraded specifically for Aurora, with testing designed to handle its unique 500W output—a major differentiator from other radios in its class.

• Confidence in Delivery Timeline: FlexRadio is aiming for Q4 2025 shipment, with no significant delays reported so far. Thousands of components are already secured, reducing risk around supply chain issues.

Why it matters:

Aurora represents a major step forward in amateur radio technology—one built with care, tested extensively, and engineered for serious performance. If you’re looking for cutting-edge capability and long-term value in a high-power HF transceiver, this update shows Aurora is shaping up to be a solid investment.
