International dealers will get everything they have ordered as of this date. That is why we and they took pre orders.
@W2NER
Yes, it is for real unless an unanticipated issue comes up. We have a fairly good handle on what is left to be done on the software but Murphy does have a law. Oh, and we're kind of tired of the waiting game too. ;>)
And the 4o3a amplifier? Still in the works? Any progress?

Since that product effort was announced about 10 months ago, I thought
it was a fair question. If it wasn't, then I apologize.

This is just my opinion . Call it bitchin, call it being like a kid, I don't care.
I think Flex has informed me of the delays, they have explained why there are delays and I have never felt like I couldn't get my $99 deposit back. If and when they contact me I will make the final decision on the purchase.
I think you are not an ideal candidate for a new release pre order type of product.
You should definitely wait until it is in Stock, ready to be shipped and then buy it (or don't buy).
I do not believe anyone forced you or anyone to Pre Order. I am not sure why you took a chance if it is clearly not your cup of tea.
I also wholeheartedly agree that post like yours or the Original Poster (OP) add no value whatsoever beyond pushing FRS to become like the rest of manufacturers, completely obscure and far removed from the customers.
I really hope FRS realizes that there is a vast majority of us that will appreciate to be kept in the loop of upcoming ideas and products, and that even though we are not as brusque in our communication we are very much appreciative of receiving information and discounts on future products.
I do not have a date yet on the SO2R controller for the 6300/6500. It is behind Maestro in priority. The 6700 does SO2R today without any other hardware.
Here are the SO2R before and after photos at K9CT:
Nice reduction of clutter shown in these two photos. All you need to do is show the wives of hams these two photos. Hi.
Would like to eliminate one more wire, as well as the possibility of a lightning strike on the network traveling up the ethernet cable into the Flex. Is it possible to use one of those ethernet to wireless adapters in the ethernet port on the Flex 6000 series to transfer network data wirelessly?
I know that some customers have found wireless devices that plug directly into the Ethernet port to provide a Wifi connection. I think I saw it posted here on the community. Maybe someone else remembers.

This is not exactly what you were asking about (i.e. a wireless bridge) but another option to consider. It has the advantage of being a full speed internet connection as well as protecting other devices (eg. your PC, printer, etc)
I use a fiber link to eliminate the "lightning on ethernet" problem and another potential source of common mode RF. It doesn't eliminate the "one more wire" but does allow you to maintain the full speed ethernet connection. Cost is about $150.
