The user interface is actually very good. It's just very very different from anything else and takes some getting used to.

It's all graphical. My non-ham son sat down and tried it without me telling him anything and had it going almost immediately.

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.
