The clip point on my Flex 6500 is S9+80 DB. That's +7 dbm.

5W at the antenna input. That's a LOT of signal.

If it were to happen that I had signal overload, I would put the 20 db attenuator on.

Or engage a bandpass filter if the signal is out of band.

My neighbor, K6TD, an excellent EE and contester, told me two years ago that the 6500 is the best radio he's ever owned, but that the UI was awful. The UI has been improved to the extent that some major contesters are pretty happy. I know of at least four 6500/5700 owners in NCCC (the SF Bay area contesters club), and all are both excellent engineers and active contesters.
