You are asking for the Mirror Function

My best guess is to wait and see if it makes it into V3.1

I certainly hope Flex provides the mirror function in V3.x, even if it's implemented incrementally.  To me, that's what multi-client is all about.

Make sure you put it in the idea section as well, lets wait and see what they will do in the future.

I hope it is integrated. What has the demand for multi-operator, single transmitter remote been? Seems like a great way to get p****d off at the other operator. 

Michael Coslo

Exactly. I don't operate remotely - it's cool but I just don't need it at the moment. But to have another option would be great. You wouldn't need a Flexcontrol, because you could just turn the 6XXX knob, and to me it just seems like a slicker implementatio of what I do in N1MM all the time. I control the radio in several different ways. 

But here is my present issue. I want to buy a 6600M, but if the feature is not there, I would just as soon spend a kilobuck less and get the faceless version. 

And I've never been one to buy things on the promise of a feature in the future. If it takes years to implement, there might be a nice new Flex radio to buy. 

Dilemma indeed.

But will not be able to control the same slice

It’s early and my head isn’t probably working well yet but reading through that I don’t see where it specifies you can use the Maestro as a “control surface” in conjunction with a SSDR session on a PC. I tend to read it as being able to use a separate slice or receiver with the second device and share the transmitter. That itself is remarkable, but not quite what I was looking for. I don’t know if what I wanted is implied but remember “contracts 101”. If it isn’t specifically stated, don’t bank on it. I’m sure we’ll find out soon. I still say these radios are way to much fun to play with and it’s knocking my QSO rates way down.

I would find a mirror function very useful if it synchronized the 6600M+SmartSDR for Windows.

I'm sure, but having spent many kilobucks on a 6700 and a Maestro, I have no intention of buying yet another radio to get functionality that should be achievable via software means.

The Maestro display having the same actions as SSDR would be nice, but not on that little screen. I think  "mirroring" isn't really the correct word to use, because that assumes both screens are identical, which must be incorrect, and why a lot of people think this is a very simple thing to do 

As I read it, it will be the Maestro showing a Maestro screen with Maestro menus, and SSDR showing SSDR menus. Which is not simple at all. 

Michael N3LI

I bought a Meastro because of wanting this feature. It is a pretty complicated thing to do, because unless we are going to try using SSDR on that little Meastro screen, it isn't mirroring, it's having two separate control systems. 

So I'm being patient.
