    Disappointed to find out today mine won't ship until possibly May 2024 (plus or minus) based on 4 years of back log. I ordered mine in Q4 of 2023... This is crazy. Wish I had known better before I ordered.

    @N4BAA

    There is no risk in placing your order, as you did. If you would like to cancel it, please let us know.

    Please post a photo or screenshot of the display from the HDMI out of a MaestroC.

    Hey, look at the bright side: having a product in the pipeline for which a lot of people are willing to wait as much as 4 years is a good problem to have. Prolly means you've got something uniquely special.

    @Alan I would if I had a TV or similar monitor handy. :)

    We had it running all weekend at Hamcation. It is the exact same resolution and content as the display. It is just mirrored.

    Thank you for that update, especially the detail about accessories.

    I had previously not been interested in the battery, but I was ultimately persuaded by the 10 hour battery life - even if that's optimistic, it's enough to save me from having to dig under my desk for the power brick when I just want to take it to another room or outdoors for awhile. 😀 That's much better stamina than my laptop battery has when playing SmartSDR video.

    BTW, I don't think I ever saw an answer to someone's query about VESA mounting. In your Hamcation video clip, it sure looked like those suspiciously-VESA-spaced holes had threaded lugs in them ....

    Also appreciate the explanation of the odd (to me) 24v power supply. I personally would have preferred a longer charging time as the cost of using 12v power - if I need a fast swap, I could always add a second battery and charger - but at least it's nice to know why the tradeoff was made.

    Yes, it is a VESA mount.

    Yay! That is a huge win for small spaces. Thank you.
