I just got my 6300 and I'm impressed so far. One of the first things that I tested with the monitor and it works! Not like my 5000 or 3000.
I love the much wider spectrum view, especially for watching 6M for openings. Very cool. There are also much less 'fake' spurs. SmartSDR is different, but much cleaner. There is still a few things missing, but I hope they will come. I'm glad I made the move.
