Post pictures, the lucky guys at Dayton please, for the many of us that cannot be there!

    Very professional display and look more than one spot for folks to sit down and turn knobs. Sure beats one radio and a crowd. First class as one would expect from the World's Leader in SDR!

    Ah, no wonder I haven't got my Maestro, it's in Dayton :)  seriously though I'm getting impatient waiting for RadioWorld (Canada) to get their order. I placed my order the same day Maestro appeared on flexradio.com

    It pays to get there early before the crowds arrived. Gerald showed me the prototype linear. I went back a couple of hours later and you couldn't get near the Maestros. Steve is participating in an SRD forum in an hours time. A must forum for me. I hope it will be recorded. Winston ps the toilets haven't blocked yet. Fingers crossed! src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6032377/uploads/attachments/RackMultipart20160520-27371-q042j-image_inline.jpg" >

    Gerald messaged that the FRS booth is mobbed! 

    https://community.flexradio.com/flexradio/topics/4o3a-power-genius-info

    Some other new items:


    • PalStar has a linear

    • Kenwood has a DStar ready HT (Maybe - "Kenwood Tentative" status now)

    • New FT-891 HF Rig

    • There at $28 dual band HTs!!

    • Several new, some SDR incorporating, radios from LNR, Expert Electronics (MB1), Elad, Woxun and more.

    Jeff KE9V has posted photos and some details on a good number of these at: https://twitter.com/ke9v

    Any bets on Flex announcing anything new. I'm hoping for a qrp rig that will work with Maestro

    In addition to production Maestros and the FRS/4o3a Amp?

    Might be a lot to ask?

    The 4o3a amp is gorgeous, but likely to be out of my budget range for the near term. Looking forward to hearing more about it at the dinner in an hour or so. I did come home with a new Begali key for the 6500.

    Flex is running a promotion that is targeting- surprise!- the Icom 7300 users: 1) Buy a Flex AND an Ic-7300 2) Within the first thirty days, decide which radio you want to keep 3) If you like the Icom, return the flex for a 100% refund 4) If you like the Flex, send the Icom to Flex for a 90% credit of your Icom invoice

    If this is true I hope people are honest with their choice. Of course to do this you will have to have the money to buy both which should **** out some that may try to take advantage.

    Seems to me to be a simple promotion for those @ dayton who can not decide between a new ic7300 or the superior flex 6300. I doubt icom is offering such a promotion.

     Flex already offers a 30 day try for free and this appears to be modified for the dayton market. Perhaps this will not disappear.

    The Maestro Bar was busy, sometimes with folks packed 4-deep waiting for a seat

    SDR Forum Friday afternoon with Scotty, WA2DFI, speaking (Jared, AF7SO and Steve, N5AC also talked).  In another 20 minutes there was even more folks lining the walls standing.

    Friday night FlexRadio Banquet -- filled to the gills!  We had 200 people, our largest crowd to date.


    image
    Lots of folks were demoing their remote FlexRadios.  Chris would send CW from K9CT's station over remote from a Maestro to another station in Finland using the DL8MRE RadioApp, etc.  Fun had by all!

    Seems to me to be a half-baked promotion. If someone is planning to spend $1500 on a rig, how is losing $150 (10% of the purchase price) is going to compel them to spend twice as much? Then there is the question of how many people would charge $4,000 on their credit card just to test two radios...not many.

    It indicates something else though. In this political season one often hears the pundits admonishing, you should always attack up, never down.
  • Member ✭✭

    A deal should have a balanced value exchange to work. In this case the buyer pays $150 to buy a radio he could have bought anyway. On the flip side, Flex does not spend a penny to acquire the buyer- remember, they buy the 7300 at 90% which allows them to sell it with no or very little loss. I also think that the buying decision has been made much earlier in the process. People know if they want a standalone knobbed radio or a mouse, computer, and a monitor. Conversely, having the 7300 next to a Flex is likely to make potential Flex buyers reconsider their buying decision in favor of the 7300.

    I count like 10 Maestros at the Maestro bar.  What do you have all those Maestros plugged into?

    That's the danger of going toe to toe with the weaker opponent. I would have thought positioning the 1500 as direct competition to the 7300, that would be competing up.

    They had a 7300 vs 6300 side by side at theFkex Booth. No Contest 6300 blows away the 7300
