Jon, I am a contester and the management of FRS assigned me to champion contesting functionality in the flex ecosystem many years ago.  What would you like to see? have you checked you tube?  folks like N9MP and many others have done all kinds of videos in support of regular day to day ham use.. I am also a dxer, and dont always use the radio in this application.. just when I compete.

Chris, like Jon, I too wish the same as he does,, But I found your videos interesting and I do respect what amazing things Flex is doing, I only hope others weather they are contesters or not can grasp how much a game changer this is for ham radio.

I like to chase DXpeditions across FT8 and CW on multiple bands, which today requires lots of context switching. So the ability to operate both FT8 and CW simultaneously is very appealing. I also want to make use of my Maestro and PC at the same time on a single transceiver, so yet another appealing use case. Looking forward to 3.0 being available!

Gang.. what I was doing here was taking my Saturday fun day and trying to share with you some of my experiments to show some capabilities with this new version of the flex radio software... Yes.. I am a contester and member of a major multi-op station, and work with flex on contesting capability feedback in alpha -but- I am also a dxer, a shared hilltop DX station stakeholder, a dxpeditioneer(did we get you in the VP6D log?), contributing QST author, radio club officer and an Assistant section manager, and like testing and playing with my toys and giving back to the amateur community just like most of you. 

 K4ZDH esq.(Riley) is right... you could learn a lot from a contester and others who experiment to push transceiver and station automation capabilities to the edge.  out of that comes all kind of cool ideas and possibilities that can be used throughout all aspects of the hobby.  There are all kinds of possibilities for multiflex beyond the contest world that I can see....   Take a close look, put on your thinking cap and you might see it as well.  

I am hoping we can all do our best to take the high road, stay positive and enjoy ownership of a platform that is paving new possibilities for us all, and magically turning our hardware into new radios every couple of years for the cost of a nice dinner.

Chris, Is it possible to have both Maestro and SmartSDR both connected to and controlling the same SCU and panadapter ? What is the granularity of each user’s access to the radio, asked a different way?

I think so. Sounds like each client device operates on its own panadapter so changing the frequency on Maestro on a 6700 would not be visible within SmartSDR as they are treated as two distinct radio instances. So it’s multi-user not radio sharing.
