    I have a 6600M which does SO2R from one box.  Two different bands.  Along with the PGXL amp and Antenna Genius antenna switch.  Works and the setup requires just a internet CAT cable between devices.  So the wiring is simplistic.  The setup requires some study, and there are guides on Flex's support on how to enable this.  You may also be able to do that with a 6600 or even a 6400 - with two slices (receivers) instead of 4 on the 6600 series. Standby for more comments from others.  73, Jim

    NO, he wants to know what flex would suit his operating requirements.

    Yes your right,, so I would say a 6600M if he still wants a stand alone radio. It will do everything he wants and things he never thought of yet..lol

    Can a Flex 6400 be operated on SO2R?

    I'll be happy enough to perform Run on one band and S&P on another band.

    You mentioned the 6400 on two bands - That is possible PROVIDING they use the same antenna; because it only has one SCU (Capture unit) so only ONE antenna can be used at a time. The 6600 and 6700 have two so each band may have its own antenna.

    The 6400 example is: you may have a multi-band antenna with a single feed (e.g. 20/15/10 tri-bander) and have two receivers active (on the same capture unit / antenna connection) but on different or the same band (your two SO2R setups). NOTE: No Flex will permit you to transmit concurrently and the 6400 will be in "wide" mode, that is NO band pass filters engaged. The 6600 on two antennae has band pass filters on each antenna

    As previously said - There is a lot in those boxes and it takes time for it all to sink in.

    Also previously said - With two antennae active (6600 or 6700) they MUST be well separated if on the SAME band. I have done it but the risk is very high on a small antenna farm or field day.

    TMI? - Drinking from a fire-hose OFF.

    Simply put, yes, but you will have to share the same antenna. You will be muted on the other band while in CQ on your RUN frequency.

    You set this up in N1MM as an SO2R radio. I am not sure how WinTest would be setup.
