SmartSdr V3 and 6000 M series radio

Andy M5ZAP

Hi,
Have read all the posts and info on V3 reference two clients and it talks about 2 maestros and or 2 occurrences of SmartSDR on PC or a mixture of the two.

There is no mention of the M frontend as one of the clients. I presume this is possible as it is really just a maestro mounted on the front of the radio ?

I too was looking forward to multi client so I could use SmartSDR on my PC and 6600m tuning knobs but again it appears that wont be possible?

Could anybody please confirm

Mike-VA3MW

Yes, you can do that.

I'm doing it now with the 6600M panel and SmartSDR on a PC.

Thanks, but no control of the SmartSDR slice with the M front panel tuning Knobs ?

Mike-VA3MW

Sorry, I was doing too many things at the same time.  Correct, no SmartSDR PC control with the M model knobs.

Thanks for catching that.

Will a Maestro and the M controls work as the two controlling methods?

Andy M5ZAP

Thanks Michael

Might be good to clarify both those details in the release info.

Mike Are there some function limitations that you see? I assume you are looking at a test version of the software. V2.4.9 has added a lot of options for DAX with Remote and also multi computer local networks. Looking forward to V3. The only problem I have had is developing station functionality takes away operating time. What fun! 73 Bill W9JJB

Don that becomes a personal choice for sure! I understand the concern,,, but Flex needs to do what is best for the majority of the users and also all the Future First Time Flex customers... Whatever V3 is, it has to be something that will **** Away the Ham community,, and in the end, Sell Radios, lots of them!!!

Couldn't agree more on the W10 issue. I want my Radio to work after an update. Latest Windows 10 foible - the update went through and renamed all of my DAX and other drivers to DAX IQ-XX. Took a help desk ticket to fix that one.  Meanwhile my other OS installs work first time, every time. Going to only Windows 10 OS would be like requiring all new cars be installed with 1960's Lucas Electric systems.

I totally agree with you..

While I am normally on the bleeding edge of technology, I long ago removed unstable W10 from all my machines and went back to stable W7.

To this day, no one has been able to show me any benefits for using W10 over W7.

Yes I know Internet  Explorer is being phased out in favor of MS Edge which only works on W10, but Chrome seems better and faster.

Happy to hear you say that Howard and Michael. All 3 desktops in my shack are W7pro. My only W10 machine is a laptop I use for benign functions like web browsing and shopping.
