Steve,
On page 123 of the manual, titled SLICE RECEIVER BANDWIDTH KNOBS, what is the increment of the width, center freq, high, and low movements?

I believe it is mode dependent. Sideband, AM, FM, DIGx step by 50Hz, CW by 10.
Thanks Dave. Was hoping for 5hz on CW but can live with 10.
Simple question: Will flex offer a "slip on" cover for the Maestro when not in use?
Steve - N5AC, VP Engineering / CTO
This is a likely option.

The Maestro User Guide has just been updated to version v1.7.1. Updates include revised pictures with labels for the front, side and back panels and information on selecting and operating with batteries.

Thanks Steve, I appreciate the chance to RTFM before my Maestro arrives :-)
I notice that screen shots on pages 80 and 87 'appear' to be SSDR and not Maestro; is that intentional or should I have gone to Specsavers (UK joke...)?

The Maestro User Guide was written by taking a copy of the SmartSDR User Guide, tearing it down and building it back up for Maestro. We replaced almost all of the images with Maestro related images, but there were a very small number that are still SmartSDR. We'll get these replaced before long.
In the mean time, I think we can say that the SmartSDR images are helpful, if not quite right.

Dual GUI ( SSDR & Maestro).

I didnt see any reference to dual GUI's - where did you read that?
I didn't. Just a hope that it arrives sooner than later! Sorry for the confusion.
They have expressed that it is fairly high up in the stream for updates to the software. as is BT.

How about macro capability for F1-F6 while your mythical software genius is at it?
Steve - N5AC, VP Engineering / CTO
What kind of macro are you thinking about, Barry? Simon, dual GUIs (what we call Multi-Client) is a feature we have planned for future development.
Steve, I was thinking in general of allowing customized CAT macro combinations like Elecraft allows in the K3. But they also provide a software utility to type in and upload the CAT macros after which the user assigns to buttons.
Steve - N5AC, VP Engineering / CTO
This is something we are likely to do in the future, but it's more likely that we would use SmartSDR API commands in the macros rather than CAT commands since there's a lot more you can do with them and the format is significantly more forgiving
That would be fantastic!
Steve, hope the multi-client happens sooner than later!

Everyone wants multi-client, but while we wait would it be possible to get a remote disconnect for clients?
A button says disconnect. That way if the PC client (or Maestro) is left running, the other client can boot it without physically going to the basement/mountaintop/undisclosed bunker where the abandoned client is located?

This is also planned functionality. Thanks for the feedback.
