Did I hear correctly that there's no way to run this new Maestro on 13.8 volts? Most emcomm setups I know of have 12-volt batteries that can be charged with solar panels. I don't think I know of any ham using 24 volts in their shack or when they're mobile.
You heard correctly. You are bringing a maestro and flex portable for emmcom work? Not sure that's the best setup, right? You can purchase a 12 to 24 volt setup converter pretty cheap on Amazon.
OK is a little better than the (A) or (B) but it's just an outdated overpriced product that's not very useful. Better off with a laptop and the USB FlexControl. - Unfortunately, as of 2024 they are way behind in the market which is sad because they had such a lead back in 2012 and were way ahead of the competition but I guess their military contract with Raytheon has taken them away from Ham radio, I guess they have to go where the money is. - BTW you still can't directly connect the Maestro to WIFI in a hotel or coffee shop without and PC so what's the Point? Also, The Noise Blanker and Noise reduction just barely works after all these years that SmartSDR has been out? - After my 6600M went on fire while in receive that was it for me, sent it back for repair and sold it!
Hey you guys were just about ready to say what the screen resolution is but the conversation changed. Is it truly 1920 x 1280 like the original M models? The original maestros were 1280 x 800 if it is indeed the 1920 x 1280 that would be awesome.
I have no idea what you consider baby talk and where you heard it in the interview. The HDMI committee is notorious for asking for copyright on videos.
Lol the outtakes are worth the wait.😂😂😂Good job guys.
Fantastic video. Been waiting for this one. Going to watch this one at least 4 times
Awesome! It's can't wait either!
Great video and interview. Thanks for getting the scoop for us!
You bet!
Looking forward to getting mine. Great video
Yes! Looking forward for the HDMI out so I can stream easier!
Nice, any video that expounds upon the mysterious Maestro is grand!
Yes! It will be out soon! ! I can't wait!
Thanks for the update! Thanks even more for capturing the reality of Hamcation Sunday!😂
It's the grind....

Thanks guys ... I have 2 on order ... waiting for the email .... 73
Awesome!
Thanks for heads up Kyle and Mike. I did not understand what kind of screen it is. Looks good in that light but is still a tablet inside?
I don't think it's a tablet. Just a screen.
Nice video Kyle.
Thanks Chuck!
A Day Late and a dollar short!
I have no idea what you mean.

1920 x 1080
Thanks. It wasn't clear if that was the output from the HDMI connector or not. It's cool that the screen resolution matches the "M" models.@@AA0Z
CW Sidetone through speaker, headset or both?
Both
You could travel to another country and have coffee or a pint with someone fpr the price of FlexRadio products LOL
that's what you get for a quality product made in the USA. Cheap overseas crap is just that, crap.
Great review... can't wait to replace mine with this new C model!
Hey Mel. Me too!
One of these days I'll be cool enough to buy a Flex. One of these days.
What are you talking about! You're ready now!
First
You're always first in my book.
Interesting but the not sure why the baby talk is required? It dumbs down the whole interview.. HDMI?
