    Can't you accomplish some of that now with the "Display" menu?

    I mean changing the overall appearance of the SSDR display and not just the panadapter.

    I don’t think you would receive much support on this one, Pat. I, and I believe the majority of current users, would vote to retain the current display as it is. Winston VK7WH

    I would like the world map on the display along with the DX spots, like what we have on PSDR right now.

    I wonder if the reason Flex bundles Multiflex with patches/fixes is that it forces more people to buy the upgrade. If they did as Dave suggests, and license Multiflex separately, they would only have people wanting Multiflex buying the license. It might greatly reduce their revenue and expose the real interests of users.

    After being a Flex customer for 8 months and experiencing two upgrades I can now say that I am loosing enthusiasm for Flex. I’ve also been an Elecraft customer for the past 5 years. I am still enthusiastic about the K3 and have recommended it to many others over the years. It is a top notch high performance amateur radio platform. Satisfied, excited and delighted customers will help Flex capture a larger market share and increase their annual revenue which will benefit all of us. I sincerely hope Flex pays attention to the recent feedback and makes adjustments. I truly want them to succeed in building a world class amateur radio platform. Joe N3HEE

    You can display the locations of active stations on a world map displayed by a 3rd party application; clicking the location of an active station on the map will QSY your Flex Signature to the station's frequency and mode.

    Bill, are you referring to the panels on right side? If so already exists on buttons at top of the panels on right. You can hide unneeded ones. Dave wo2x

    I wanted to clarify that my wish for a future version Maestro and M model carrying onboard additional software may be as simple as allowing software FRS vets as acceptable to be hosted and run on the internal display computer with some provision to provide access through SmartSDR for Maestro/SmartSDR for M-models GUI.  

    This limited capability would not be to provide a full operating computer environment, but would perhaps to allow some very limited capabilities including shimware to handle certain configurations in the ecosystem.

    Some of the ideal uses would be watchdog routines and better interfacing with 4o3a Genius product line for automation.

    Imagine if you bought a new 6600 and something on it didn't work. You would expect it to be fixed before new models are introduced and it usually is. Then why is software not always fixed before new major releases are introduced ?

    You pay for the software just like you pay for the hardware yet the software doesn't get the attention that the hardware does. In the case of Flex, the software is as much a vital component of the rig as any physical component

    One does not make money from fixing bugs. Although I recently got help from Eric where he stayed on the phone over an hour ON A WEEKEND.
