    I think you’ll find the video applicable to the radio you are using including M models.

    Hi Bill

    Yes, that is how I did it.  Right out of the  manual on a clear space on the band.  If that came across wrong, I apologize.    

    Personally, beyond that, I don't touch it for weak or strong stations.

    So, there is no change in design.

    Thanks, Mike.  I thought that you set the AGC-T well below the knee but maybe I wasn't watching closely enough.

    BTW, I talked to you on or around April 20th when I called to inquire on how much Flex would allow me on the trade-in of my 6300 toward a 6600.  Against my better judgement and without my wife's OK, I bought the 6600.  Really enjoying it!

    Hi Scott

    You may not be aware of this manual http://www.flexradio.com/downloads/usb-cable-interface-guide-pdf/

    Essentially, it is the USB/RS232 adapter for the back of the radio and if memory serves me correctly a double female null modem cable plugged into the XCVR port on the Amp.   Next, just  make sure the baud rate matches and then select that you want the Amp to follow the TX slice.

    When you get to a 6600 or a 6700, that is when the PGXL is the way to go since it can handle both SCU's.  Or, you might want to amps, one for each SCU.

    I hope you and the dog didn't have to fight for the couch.  :)  I also moved from a 6300 to a 6600 and I also added a 2x8 Antenna Genius.  Wow, what a combination.  

    Glad to hear you are loving the radio.  I like how the super fast acting AGC slams down lightning static.  I didn't even know we did that until Engineering explained it to me.

    That's not my question as I do have the function keys setup for CW. My question is can a VOICE CQ recorded and retained?

    But there are voice recordings. You just have to re record them each time it is turned on. My question is can a VOICE CQ recorded and retained?
