6500, Exp 2K-FA, how to upgrade to 1.6.21
At the moment I have my 6500 running as follows:
SW: V1.5
Ddutil: V2
2K-FA connected via Ddutil passive listener port on a real RS232 port
2K-FA also connected via USB to the little Expert-App
This config running smooth and stable already a year now. For me it is a big advantage to have the amp controlled by Ddutil (frequency and Autodrive) as well as the possibility of switching the amp on/off + seeing the display through the SPE-app.
Now I want to upgrade my reliable and stable system to 1.6.21, mostly because I don’t want to miss the Maestro train.
As far as I understand for now I don’t need Ddutil anymore for my config because of the ability to create comports (even hardware) in the redesigned CAT.
What features will I miss going this direction except Autodrive?
Any input from users with the same config is very welcome.
Regards, Jo

Hi Jo, II would wait until Ver 1.7 is released which gives you the Maestro interoperability I think you are looking for.
