Almost too easy. Well not really. :-)

My 6700 continues to amaze me. I turned it on for a "minute" this morning. Since I could see all of 20 meters I picked a good ssb signal and listened. It turned out to W1AW that I worked right away. I wondered where the MUF was and opened up pans for 17, 15, and 12. 17 was active, 15 not so much, but 12 was loaded. I picked an ssb signal and worked him, barefoot, right away -- OH6RE. The ability to observe all these bands at the same time, see all the signals, and pounce totally changes amateur radio.

That's why we like to call it Visual Radio(TM). ;>)

Last night, while waiting my turn on a 20 meters QSO, I popped open a second Panadapter and typed in 27.185 to see if I could hear any truckers driving though on 11 meters. (because I can) All was quiet there, but from that vantage point I could see that other parts of the 11 meters band was very alive. I knew right away that 10 meters was probably alive as well. At this point I jumped over to 10 meters and started calling CQ. No one called me back on that frequency, but I could see a nearby signal, so I spun the Flex control knob over to the nearby signal and it was a someone in Brazil calling CQ. I immediately returned his call completing my first QSO on 10 meters on my FlexRadio. So two visual cues led to a QSO that would otherwise not have happened. And I never missed my turn on the 20 Meters QSO.

This sort of advance in operating capabilities is exactly why I'm excited about the 6000 series radios!!!!!

Yep, same here. That's why the 6500 is my 1st SDR!!!!!

Visual radio indeed. After working away from the rig most of the afternoon I walked by the 6700 and noticed a signal peaking on the same 12 meter frequency as OH6RE this morning. Thinking it was the same station I listened and heard a "J". I turned my Tennadyne T-6 about 50 degrees and responded to JQ2IQW's CQ. Right back. Fish in a barrel comes to mind -- or rather DX on a peak.
