Thanks Lee. I've heard nothing but great things from Flex and from this community as well. I'm sure I'll be blown away by Flex and never look back.

Welcome the world of Flex radios, Santiago. If this is your first SDR radio, you will soon see the difference. It is so easy to listen to (see, actually) multiple frequencies, and decode multiple digital signals of different types. You can be watching FT8 in one slice and JS8 or Olivia in another, or watch/listen to multiple bands with multiple panadapters. You will only be limited by your antennas. I use a low-noise multiple band receive antenna to listen to what I want, then transmit on a TX antenna with auto-tuner. Can’t do that on most knob radios! The 6300 has only one SCU (spectral capture unit / ADC), so all your receive slices will be using the same receive antenna. When you start using the radio, or planning for its installation, be sure to search the community for advice, and ask questions when you don’t find an answer.

Thanks Ted. Indeed this is my first SDR radio, so I'm really looking forward to it. You can be sure that I'll put this community to work with questions jejejeje.

As others said, congratulations, I'm certain you'll enjoy it, and the community here is very helpful. I hope it comes with Smart SDR 2.x, allowing you to operate it remotely from a laptop, tablet or iPhone - a feature that can be a lot of fun, and pretty unique among other Ham radios. I talk to everyone that can hear me, I hope I can hear you! See you on the bands, or here in the forums!

Congratulations Santiago! Welcome to the Flex Community. You will have a great time with your 6300. I joined this community back in December last year and love my 6500 and Maestro. I will look for you on the band. Gene K1GD

Thanks Mark for the heads up. The radio includes the mic and the ATU so I’m pretty much set out of the box and W1HZ, have been quite helpful and have guided me in this preliminary phase. I know it will require a change of mindset from my part but the future looks promising. I have a feeling that this will only be my first Flex not the last and my main rig for the time to come. Hope to see you around.

Thanks John. Yes I see you here in my log. Hopefully next time we speak I’m using my 6300.
