I just got my 6400 M today and set it up with out reading the manual. It is easy if have owned a Flex before. I love it and not having to connect it to a computer is great.
Now the only thing I need is an HDMI cable for the BIG monitor!!
Thanks Flex!!!

Congrats, Rick. Still no word on mine. How'd you hook up the Heil Classic? 73 Bob

Well, Flex sent me the wrong cable. I was supposed to get the the 8 pin Foster to use with my PR 781. It just so happened that I had the Heil Classic. It is probably a good thing they sent the wrong cable by mistake as I did not have a 4 pin XLR cable for the radio. Now I have choices for a microphone, A PR 781 (as soon as Flex send the cable) the Heil Classic and the Heil Pro set with the HC6. Oh, and the hand mike.0

I got to touch a 6400M yesterday at the hamcation. Bigger than I thought. Could not stop drooling. My first Flex so the learning curve is steep from what I have read and heard. Hope my 71 yr old brain survives. Come on April.

Rick, you look like a kid at Christmas. OK, so is it control by knob only or can you still use a mouse? Any keyboard control? 73, Jim0

The M model and the non-M using a Maestro allow button, knob and touch screen operation without need of a PC.
You can use a PC running SmartSDR with keyboard and mouse instead if you desire.
At this time only one client can be connected to the radio at a time. The front panel, Maestro, SmartSDR, Dogpark Software for MAC, and SmartSDR for IOS are all clients.
If you are running the front panel or Maestro you can still ise a PC with SmartSDR CAT and DAX for interfacing to third party software (logging, digital modes, etc) and hardware (auto tuners, amp).

Thank you, Dave. One of the reasons I ask is for frequency control. These radios do not have a keypad for direct digital entry of frequency in the manner of my FT-2000 for example. On my Flex 6500, I need to click on a frequency with the mouse or highlight the frequency in the flag and then enter it in the keyboard. On my FT-2000, I hit enter, key in a frequency and hit enter again....a very easy operation.
Best 73, Jim0 -
If you tap on the frequency on the display it should pop up a screen allowing direct frequency entry.

Way cool, Dave. Sounds like they put some thought into this. Jim KD1I0

I don't think you have to worry about the learning curve. the signature series radios are very much plug and play. the also don't require a lot of computer savvy like the Flex 5000. Can't decide which new radio I'll get... but I will. Currently have a 6300 and honestly, find it way more than satisfactory.
