    I would like to see some real use case videos of two people using the radio at the same time outside of a contest setting.  MultiFlex lends itself perfectly to multi operator contesting.  I can see some other use cases that it will probably work fine such as mentoring or single user connecting with iPAD and a M model transceiver.  However, when one person starts tranmitting while the other is listening is where the challenges come in.  Unless the radio is in full duplex mode the person that is listening will hear silence.  And if the radio is in full duplex mode then steps have to be taken to reduce interstation interference or the person listening will hear a buch of noise from the transmitting person.  Even if I single operator is doing FT8 on the PC while listening to a SSB or CW net on the Maestro the reciever will go silent during transmit unless in FDX mode.  Unless there is something different about V3 ?  It will be interesting to see how MultiFlex plays out in the real world.  I'm looking forward to V3 and want to know a little more than is being offered by the preview videos.  Can someone shed some light on this subject ?

    Hi Joe

    Yes, those can be somethings to consider.  The operation with multiFLEX is very similar to when you have to active slices.   The receiver will go mute while in TX. 

    You can't steal the tx away while you are transmitting in another slice.

    The management of the antenna resources is something that will take some planning and coordination of the operators.

    Thanks Mike.  Also, can each person be on the same band at once?  This would be ideal for two people sharing a radio while operating in a net or say a ragchew session.  Each would take a turn at transmitting.  However, the other person would get muted unless in FDX and the station was equiped to deal with that.

    Yes, they can.  

    If you think of what you can do now on one device with 2 (or more slices), the operation is the same.  Except now, you can use that slice on another device.

    V3 is the Version that will allow the PGXL and 403A 8X2 Antenna Genius to really show their "value" .
