Alan correctly points out you can use two RPi devices, one for each radio.
If you want to use FRStackWebApi on two radios at the same time on one RPi you can accomplish this by performing the following steps.
Duplicate the frstack directory. e.g. frstack2.
Now configure each instance to point to the radio of your choosing via the initRadioName field in the appSettings.json file.
In the new?frstack2 folder?rename the FRStackWebApi.service file to FRStackWebApi2.service
Edit the?FRStackWebApi2.service file and set the following:
WorkingDirectory to /usr/local/frstack2
ExeStart urls port assignment from 5025 to 5026
This second instance will be at port 5026.
That should be it other than using the new service name when registering, unregistering and running the new service

Use two Raspberry Pis, one for each radio.
On one of the two Pis, I have modified the "connection" flow to control both instances of Raspberry Pis and display both on one dashboard.

Greetings. I know others here also have more than one Flex 6000 series at a single location. Currently, I¡¯m controlling both radios from one Pi/NodeRed configuration. And FRStack is currently connected to just one of the radios.
My end game is to have FRStack for both radios. So, what¡¯s possible and the path of least resistance / best reliability - a separate Pi/NodeRed/FRStack per Flex, or can two instances of FRStack run on the same Pi without confusion? The separate Pi approach seems straightforward, but requires two browser windows to see both at the same time, which really isn¡¯t how the two radios are operated. They are usually operated by different folks with unrelated operations.
So I¡¯m leaning towards a Pi per radio. Separate dashboards per station. Thoughts?
tnx
