I used to start wring my digital/rig control device on my Icom on the Thursday afternoon before a contest in an effort to be ready for the contest start at 8pm Friday. Now with the 6600 I walk downstairs at 7:45 pm fire up the rig and the computer and be operating before 8. BTW I have the big Flex knob and it's highly recommended.
The advantage of running the 6600 on 10 meters is I could have a display on 10 CW, another on 10 FT-8, my third on SSB and finally number four on 10 FM all on the same computer window.
Mike, as a 6400 op in a heavy residential area, I heard a topic for another PodCast. How about a podcast on using a Flex to find and diagnose random sources of noise in a small house, shack or residential area. Are there best practices, ways to effectively use the radio in cooperation with other techniques? Wow, would that be a useful PodCast...
The 6600 should be about 4 weeks and the 6700 would be about 12 weeks. This changes weekly so if you are reading this, look at the post date (as of October 17, 2022). Email sales@flexradio.com for the latest status.
You'll wonder where your headache went when using the Flex. I upgraded from a 756 I used for contesting and there's no comparison :) Let me convince you :)

Not a bad idea. Do you know a subject mater expert who could talk on it?
@@FlexRadioSystems Thanks. Let me think about an SME. It would be an interesting topic.
how long does it take to fill an order for a 6600 or 6700?

@@FlexRadioSystems thanks. I have a 6700 on order and was wondering if the 6600 would come any sooner.
Trying to convince myself I need to upgrade my 756pro3 to a 6400.
To be honest, that was what I did, but it was to a 6300 and never looked back.
If you see a 6400 as an upgrade, which it certainly is, then the convincing is done. Now you only need to do yourself the favor.
