Any pictures of the 6400 with handle and rack mount options?

Ron W4RDM

Would like to see on a radio before I order?

Rich McCabe

Marc Lalonde

Rich McCabe

Apparently, I did

So still not sure about the M radios having handle kits either.

I guess pictures are in order !

David Orman

Pictures would be excellent for the options that are physical. It's hard to make a judgement call on these without being able to see what you're purchasing.

I too would like to see the rack kit before I BUY.

Will there be rack ears and a rack handle kit like the prior radios?

Will you be able to use both at the same time like the 63/65/6700?

Marc Lalonde

still no picture or official comment ?  or even a computer rendering ?

Tim - W4TME

The item is not currently available.

Rich McCabe

Available to buy right? When you are invoiced that is.

Marc Lalonde

hope that flex will not delay my order because of that "available soon" handle kit !!!

have already to make this week end Contest (January VHF)  whit less that optimum setup   and for sure now will miss the Bouvet EME  window ....

Bill -VA3WTB

I am sure if the handles are not ready, they will ship them later.

Tim - W4TME

Marc - it will not delay your order being fulfilled.

How many rack spaces (?U) will the 6400 take with the rack mounts?

Takeshi Yamada

4U?

Charlie_KB8CR

I did find this picture of the 6600 with a rack mount. I assume it would look the same.

Scott Russell - N1SER

I just measured my 6400 (not int a rack) and it will take up 4U even though the rack mount brackets are about an inch shorter. The bottom of the enclosure has that section that drops down and make the entire height 4U.

Charlie_KB8CR

Thanks ! I'm using an 8U cabinet, and was wondering if I'd have enough space for the other items. 4U will leave me enough room. Good news.

Marc Lalonde

Hi Tim any dead line for shipping the bracket ?

Tim - W4TME

That is a Sales question.  Send Michael an email inquiring about their availability.
