Tim,
I need your help..!!! While on a vacation trip apparently my name/address went on the "bounce list" at the getsatisfaction.com list, because out of no where my 20-30 notifications I was receiving on my email went to ZERO. I checked my spam, checked my profile on the Flex community site and everything seems to be in order, but still no notifications. Somebody sent me a message about the website getsatisfaction that captures your name/address whenever there is a bounce back message from a ISP problem or whatever... Could you please look into this for me? Ken Lodge

If anyone in the back of the list would like to take
my place for their; I am willing to give my place in line for yours.
My reason: I have not been able to put an antenna
up due to weather (rain/temp), help, and so many beautiful things to do and see
in Amelia Island, Florida. My Flex-6700 has been boxed in a
closet for more than a year.
If you like to trade places; providing that FRS
would allow it: I will be more than happy to help you get your Maestro earlier.
Since, I do not have a use for it at this time.
Drop me a line and let's see if it can be done.
But, here is the catch!
You must tell us why here in the forum. And the
members will help me make the decision by voting for the winner.

That hurts Burt... if that's the case, I might as well keep it in the box for a while too.
I will find out tomorrow, if they will even let me do it.
Scott,
I emailed you my phone; Let's see what I find out. You are the first on on the list for exchange. I will stay here on this page unless the higher up in the food change decide to close the threat.

Have great time in Visalia.

It causes FRS problem and time to do. Sorry, I will leave the Maestro alone in the box until HOA and CC&R's passes in the US Congress.

Gerald - Will this first batch off the assembly line fulfill all the pre-orders?

Yes, that is why we took pre-orders. We had already built 100 before this one. There won't be many left after the pre-orders ship though. We have started ordering the long lead items for the next run.

We are still in final phase of fix reported software bugs, release for test, collect bug reports, triage, fix bugs, release for test, rinse and repeat. I still can't give the day and hour but we are getting closer every day. The software team is working hard to wrap things up on their end. You can see in the photo below that finished goods are coming off the line and ready for final software.

Why not ship, those hams are desperate, you can post software updates on your site.

It's good to see the assembled devices are safe and secure behind that yellow plastic chain.

There is no such thing as zero bugs in any software or firmware. Even the richest company on earth, Apple, has bugs in their software that I have personally experienced on new releases of iOS. The same is true of the heavy metal radios that require firmware updates to fix bugs.
Once we ship v1.7 we will immediately begin planning for v1.8. We already have a list that will be scrubbed at that time to decide what will actually make it into the release. I am sure we will learn things from those of you who purchased Maestro that will make it into the release as well.
Like I remember my kids saying over and over in the car, "Are we there yet????"

I'm also happy to wait for it. You should
be commended for wanting to put out a
great product. I'm certainly glad you and
your team are running things and sticking
to your guns to turn out a first class
product, and not caving.

Believe me that we triage every issue. The closer we get to release the higher the scrutiny as to whether we would hold or not for for the issue in question. That means that we will delay some issues until a subsequent release. It is always a judgement call.
