Austin, TX – May 15, 2026 – FlexRadio announced May 15 during the opening day of 2026 Dayton Hamvention® that DX Engineering will be selling the company’s new Aurora™ Series Transceivers, adding to the lineup of FlexRadio products it already carries.
With the announcement, DX Engineering becomes 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.
All FlexRadio product support, warranty, and service will continue to be provided through FlexRadio.
Customers may also opt to purchase a DX Engineering Protection Plan for the Aurora Series and 8000 Series transceivers. The protection plan, which covers mechanical/electrical failure and other issues, begins after the end of the FlexRadio two-year manufacturer warranty.

“We are very excited for the opportunity to help amateur radio enthusiasts in the U.S. enjoy the benefits of these breakthrough transceivers,” said Tim Duffy, K3LR, DX Engineering CEO. “The Aurora is another example of FlexRadio’s commitment to designing products that advance the art and science of ham radio and improve the on-air experience for operators everywhere. We look forward to growing our partnership with their team of innovators for years to come.”
“Partnering with DX Engineering on the Aurora is a natural extension of the strong relationship we built around the FLEX-8000 Series,” said Matt Youngblood, KD5FGE, CEO of FlexRadio. “Tim Duffy, K3LR, and his team set the bar for customer service in this industry, and that matters when you’re putting a product as ambitious as the Aurora into operators’ hands. We designed the Aurora to redefine performance, efficiency, and usability in an all-in-one HF/6-meter transceiver, and DX Engineering is the right partner to help us get it to U.S. amateurs.”
About the Aurora Transceivers
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.
Integrated remote operation is available with a Maestro, iPad, iPhone, or PC/laptop. Versions come with or without an eight-inch display which provides localized control at the radio. Like other FlexRadio transceivers, SmartSDR® software provides a wide range of usability and signal processing enhancements. Full details about the Aurora Series transceivers here.
