FWS is indeed bad, My 6500 did not arrive until 10:15PM on the day it was scheduled to arrive.  I was a mess from 6PM on until it arrived.

Until it comes in, this will be my support group... 8^)

Maybe I'll get myself a 4K UHD second monitor just to console myself in the meantime.

Michael,

If it will help you can use my radio remote.

There was no option to send the trade after the new one arrived?

I use ASUS PB-287Q 4K 32" monitors.  I had reading glasses made for the distance from my face to the monitors.  Yes, with proper eyewear I can read everything on the monitors.  This is very helpful when we are running more than a dozen ham radio apps at the same time.

Looks like some really nice monitors. Yes, I got a pair of computer glasses, and don't know how I did without them. My varifocal are nice, but it turns out where I have to tilt my head to see the monitors gives neck strain. The comp glasses are perfect, but only focus at the right distance - but are really sharp at that distance. Oh, for young eyes again!

27-32-27 4K

I have a TV-sized 4K monitor and didn't really like it. With this setup, it's more looking side to side and not up and down. There's also a lot of flexibility having the monitors on arms. The (not-so-difficult) challenge is getting the settings matched so windows remain the same size across the monitors.

Thank you so much Mark. I should be okay. And my better half is expecting me to be working on that office. 8^)

No, the old radio gets evaluated first for worth. I guess it might be possible to buy the new one, then send the old one in and get a credit, but dealing this way seems less troublesome than dealing with the credit card companies. I also pay the whole card off every month, so a carried balance might complicate things.

i understand the feelings of being without a radio, traded my 590SG in and wasnt too bad, two days to Texas, two days for them to evaluate, and received my 6400 9th day, there was a weekend in there also, great company to do business, very happy and already sold them another one to a friend of mine, thanks you FLEX!

WOW! how many monitors is that?

Kevin

Three 4K monitors. Two 27" surrounding a 32". I've been thinking of dropping the two 27's and adding another 32 but then that kind of reduces the flexibility I have in moving monitors around. I can grab any of the three and reposition it as needed.
