6700 front panel display

roger na4rr

I know that the front panel display is a wasted item but I did get use to seeing calibrate when initializing and  my call sign  when it was finally booted up.  Mine has goon dead,  Noting shows.  The power button goes green and I hear the fans running so I know its on.  Anyone else have this happen.? I havent taken it apart to look for a part number,.  Dont even know if you can get to it,  If someone has been there done that let me know,  Thanks

What I mentioned about the the display being used for diagnostics is not a wish feature, it is used now for trouble shooting. There are combo arrow pushes to bring up different trouble shooting info on the dispay.

When we press the on button and the enter button the screen counts down for us to release the buttons to begin a factory reset.

Hi Bill, Re: your comment. “I am wondering how difficult it would be, to do a factory reset without having the countdown displayed” It sounds like you were asking about a change / enhancement. Is that correct? Regards Al / NN4ZZ

No, this is what the radio does now, the display counts down when you press power and enter at the same time, this is the startup for a factory reset.

I also have a problem with dead front display on my Flex 6700.
Anyone knows is it a systematic problem (design flaw, bad quality component) ?
Many thanks in advance,

I sent my 6700 back for other reasons and just got it back. They of course reset everything. My display has FLEX-6700. Now I can not remember how to make it show NA4RR. I looked under radio setup. Then under Radio Identification Nickname I put NA4RR and under Callsign NA4rr. Still not in the display. I also rebooted the radio. Its no big deal but I liked having my call up there.
