Can I use two Maestro on one Flex6400?

Looking at setting up a Flex6400 and having two Maestro control heads. One for me (remote in California) and the other for a local ham friend in Florida. I read about the SO2R but it doesn't seem to support two Maestro. I also don't have any Apple device so the tablet software won't work on my Android devices.
Also, correct me if I am wrong but a Maestro can connect via an Internet connection using services like DynDNS, right?

Yes! That is what the "Multi-Client" feature is all about. Make sure you are using the latest version software like 3.1.12 or newer on both the radio and the Maestros. They can be receiving on different bands, modes or frequencies. Just coordinate who will utilize the shared transmitter. Either by time shift or a chat intercom. Otherwise there is a lock-out allowing one to TX at a time. The Maestro has a built-in Windows tablet. No Android devices. I also have an Apple iPAD which can be used simultaneously with one Maestro client at a time. Not sure about DynDNS.

Since you have a 6400, you need to know it has only one SCU (ADC), so both users are on the same antenna. You will need a multi-band antenna that will work without tuning it. If you want truly independent receivers, you need a 6600 or 6700, which both have 2 SCUs.0

No, DYNDNS is not required. The Maestro will find your radio if setup for SmartLink (section 9 of the SmartSDR Manual). You will have to use the same login information for both Maestros for it to work.
