I've read about V3.0 for M models and Maestro
However is it worth for 6600?

I bought the upgrade for both of my radios. I want to encourage Flex to continue to develop features for the older 6500/6700 radios. If there is nothing in it for them, they will stop. There has been tremendous improvement since v1.1
-
I have the 6400M and I really enjoy the SmartControl Mode. Lets me control the rig via smartSDR and the Maestro front end. Best of both worlds.1

Yes, I've heard its great for M models and Maestro.
Glad to hear you are getting great time
Thanks for sharing 0 -
Thanks David...from V1 to V3 ..wow! big step
I used to have V1 with my 6300, it was fantastic, actually have 6600 V2.6.1, and wondering if V3.0 is for me: No maestro no M-model.
I've read some comments about its better on remote use.... needed less bandwidth??...would like to know it
Thanks

I am a want to be, programmer.....hobbiest. With v3 and my M model radio, I can run SSDR or the front panel along with my test programs and have a nice visual reference to what I am trying to do. For that alone, the upgrade was worth it. James WD5GWY1

Unless you support Flex in the upgrade efforts, no, not worth the money for me anyway. Until Flex fixes basic problems such as NB, etc. I just dont use the options included in 3...3

SmartControl Is more of an asset for non-M models. I can use my Maestro to control my Flex 6400. Now I have knobs if I want!1

Everyone has their own idea of worth. You can’t answer the question correctly for everyone. Just trying to help!1

I have no use, as yet, for the new big upgrades in V3 and the latest V2 meets all of my current needs. On the other hand any upgrade addressing the many requested improvements to noise mitigation, auto notch performance, zero beat etc. and the purchase would be instant for me.4

If it performs no better than the old one, why spend $199?1

I wonder why with that much computing power a cw reader transmitting and receiving is not implemented. Today even low cost transceivers offers that capability. It is not even posible to use the monitor to feed an accessory reader DAx does not work with monitor.0

That's my job, not the radio's.0

I can't answer that question as I am currently off the air at a new QTH. I agree with the folks who want to encourage Flex to continue developing and agree that $199 is a small price to encourage overall development of our radio investments. When I am back on the air with my 6600, 80 foot tower, beam and near legal limit amplifier, I will be looking forward to some good old fashioned hamming. Sorry but I have never been into contesting and would rather see future development go into fixing noise reduction "auto-notch" and perhaps implementing Pure Speech... features that would benefit contesters and non-contesters, alike. Right now, my radio is at 2.6.1.0
