    I pre-ordered Thursday 5-14 in the evening, the night of the announcement if I remember correctly.  I received my email confirmation at 9:17PM Pacific time.
    Nothing here yet.

    We'll have to apply sales tax to the transaction if you take possession of it in the state of Texas.

    When I upgraded to the 6500 from the 5000 I chose the 6500/Maestro option. Do I have to reorder.

    I ordered mine 6/25/15 and have not heard anything yet.........but still checking and checking and checking etc....  I need to change addresses to where to ship it to however.  Hoping to use mine mobile.  The missing link to my new mobile system is the Maestro.  It will control the Flex 6300 in the trunk connected to an Ameritron ALS500 on my summer drive to California with my doggie.

    my email came in at 6pm est, i ordered first thing at Dayton last year, i was the one with the 4K youtube video posted that weekend. I see there is an optional battery but cannot find much details about it, for me at least the pdf file downloads are not working from the flex site. The option is also not listed when i follow through on the email about options. Did i miss something somewhere from one of the updates in email?

    Steven,  Yes I am an ex coastie 65-69 RM2
    You guys, including Burt are making me envious; So, some way or another, I will be installing some type of antenna in the attic or possibly outside the home impervious to the neighborhood gestapo association. I will try to hide it between the acorn moss covered trees: Before the Maestro comes home from Dayton.

    I didn't order this quality product. Last September I offered to pay the deposit if  I didn't have to take delivery until April, they did not agree. Now that the price is $200 higher I won't pay it. Obviously the new price is fair as it is very popular.

    or any other product (Mogix we not get in EU from Amazon) that is not bigger then 152,4mm x 76,2mm x 19,1mm and can deliever 5V / 2.1A

    No, you do not.  Just drop a note to sales (sales@flexradio.com) and request your Maestro order number to confirm your pre-order status.

    We are working on finding a suitable battery that can be conveniently order in the EU.

    Tim, it's not a problem to find a a battery here in EU. The brand Mogix we can only order in  US but then: sales price + freight charge then + 19% VAT and 4% customs taxe. I found some at Ebay, some from EU some from China (all are made in China). Most of them fit into the Maestro well. Some have a high of 25mm (FRS say 19.1mm). 99,9% can deliver the 5V / 2.1A.

    I found a 20.000mAh  (~11$) and a 50.000mAh (~17$ - from CN with 6-7 weeks) all with shipping included

    So don't worry

    The same applies if you take the soft bag as an option?

    Wow!
    I managed to pay for my Maestro in a record setting time.
    Mat at FRS left me with an empty wallet in a matter of  2 minutes or less: That's including giving him my Amex card and verifying my new address.
    I am happy to see that they have a product that will be setting DX records in the upcoming years.

    Almost but not quite. It would have been great. The amazon one is a 16,100mAh but it it 5.89 inches, 3.23 inches, 0.77 inches
    • Maximum Battery Size: 3"W (7.62 cm) x 6"L (15.24 cm) x 0.75"D (1.91 cm)

    Remember the connector, when inserted it may NOT be flush, and that will add to size.

    Is that an amazon basics one? I would buy it and sacrifice part of the case to make it fit. I am already looking at lipo flat cells and a circuit to maybe make a 20,000 mah pack. Just have to find a small enough module that will charge and do 2.5 amps
