SSDR "mirrors" Maestro with Stacks 3!

Sergey,

Many thanks. It does work this way until I open N1MM+ for logging and control and try to switch focus. Then some funky things happen - both slices seem to go to the same band and PTT clicks rapidly with flashing screen. The only way to stop this is to close N1MM+, but then the Maestro and SmartSDR seem to have lost sync. I suspect I'm pushing things one step too far.

If I open N1MM+ with just Maestro or just SSDR, all is well. I can toggle from one slice to the other and everything seems to be happy.

Yes, see my post below.
Something not reliable with 2 slices and I cannot make sence of it yet.
I did not try with N1MM yet, just trying to learn and understand the logic.

I think our responses overlapped. Yes - 2 slices is problematic, especially with any other rig control software involved.Clearly, this will work eventually, but for now, it's definitely not suitable for prime time.

A key reason I bought an M model, rather than a 6400/6600 and a maestro, was to use the provided HDMI connector for large screen mirroring (no PC necessary).

Sergey KN7K

Neil, I got 6600 and Maestro as I see this combination has more benefits (for me) compared to the M. For each it’s own, right? Sergey, KN7K

Absolutely, Sergey.  If I had a strong need to operate remotely from the radio, I would have done the same thing. However, I think some don't take the HDMI connector into consideration when making the choice.

I have a 6700 that I bought several years ago, so no option other than to use SSDR with big monitor. 

On the bright side, I have set up N1MM+ with bandscope and am using Maestro for control. That gives me 95% of what I need (readable band display with spots and the ability to use the real knobs and buttons on the Maestro).

Eric,
Could you share your n1mm settings either here or in email? My email is at qrz dot com
One more things to experiment - I was changing bands from SSDR last night and that could confuse my antenna setup. Need to try to change bands from Stacks where I have saved settings per band and mode. Also, not sure what to choose at Stacks3 in sync mode: on the left side you choose Active - Maestro or SSDR, I think it does not matter in Sync mode, but need to test it.
I will not have much time today, going out till late evening.
Thanks

No special settings, I duplicated what you showed in the video and see exactly what your seeing. A small move of the B VFO knob on the maestro brings the 12 meter slice back into view.
