Flex 6300 Panadaptor width

The specs state that the maximum panadaptor width is 7Mhz.  If two slice receivers are open on screen will the maximum panadaptor width remain as 7 Mhz on each slice?

Think of slices like the tuning indicator of a traditional radio. And the panadaptor like the entire dial. One shows where the radio is tuned. The other shows the range of frequencies you can tune. Two slices on the same panadapter would be like having two receivers on the same band. But, different frequencies. James WD5GWY

Panadapters and slices are separate things.  Panadapters can have up to 7MHz displayed bandwidth on a FLEX-6300.  You may place one or two slices anywhere in the one or two panadapters displayed.  There are no limits beyond this.  

If you tune the panadapter where the slice no longer sits anywhere in the panadapter, we will mute the slice, but leave it for you so that when you return it is where you left it.  You may also click the slice using the off-screen indicator in the panadapter and either quickly tune to it or close it if you want to do either of these things.

With two panadapters open at a max of 7 Mhz you can actually see 14 Mhz with a 6300. One thing I used to do with the 6300 was to have two Slice receivers, VFO A and VFO B, open on one panadapter and then a second panadapter in the 6m band with no Slice receivers. This way I was able to work split in one band and keep an EYE on 6m for openings.

Excellent! Thank you.
