Great video and interview. Thanks for getting the scoop for us!

[@AA0Z]

You bet!

[@rogerp5816]

Did I hear correctly that there's no way to run this new Maestro on 13.8 volts? Most emcomm setups I know of have 12-volt batteries that can be charged with solar panels. I don't think I know of any ham using 24 volts in their shack or when they're mobile.

[@AA0Z]

You heard correctly. You are bringing a maestro and flex portable for emmcom work? Not sure that's the best setup, right? You can purchase a 12 to 24 volt setup converter pretty cheap on Amazon.

[@K3TEF]

Fantastic video. Been waiting for this one. Going to watch this one at least 4 times

[@AA0Z]

Awesome! It's can't wait either!

[@the_mad_swimbaiter455]

Nice, any video that expounds upon the mysterious Maestro is grand!

[@AA0Z]

Yes! It will be out soon! ! I can't wait!

[@digital.rancher]

Thanks for the update! Thanks even more for capturing the reality of Hamcation Sunday!😂

[@AA0Z]

It's the grind....

[@HamRadio2]

Looking forward to getting mine. Great video

[@AA0Z]

Yes! Looking forward for the HDMI out so I can stream easier!

[@LifeAtTerminalVelocity]

One of these days I'll be cool enough to buy a Flex. One of these days.

[@AA0Z]

What are you talking about! You're ready now!

[@fransahm1956]

You could travel to another country and have coffee or a pint with someone fpr the price of FlexRadio products LOL

[@AA0Z]

that's what you get for a quality product made in the USA. Cheap overseas crap is just that, crap.

[@stevecampisano3116]

Thanks guys ... I have 2 on order ... waiting for the email .... 73

[@AA0Z]

Awesome!

[@Val-DM1TX]

Thanks for heads up Kyle and Mike. I did not understand what kind of screen it is. Looks good in that light but is still a tablet inside?

[@AA0Z]

I don't think it's a tablet. Just a screen.

[@kq9l115]

CW Sidetone through speaker, headset or both?

[@AA0Z]

Both

[@melk0pfx]

Great review... can't wait to replace mine with this new C model!

[@AA0Z]

Hey Mel. Me too!

[@MacsForever1]

Hey you guys were just about ready to say what the screen resolution is but the conversation changed. Is it truly 1920 x 1280 like the original M models? The original maestros were 1280 x 800 if it is indeed the 1920 x 1280 that would be awesome.

[@AA0Z]

1920 x 1080

[@MacsForever1]

Thanks. It wasn't clear if that was the output from the HDMI connector or not. It's cool that the screen resolution matches the "M" models.@@AA0Z

[@KC2QMA]

A Day Late and a dollar short!

[@AA0Z]

I have no idea what you mean.

[@KC2QMA]

OK is a little better than the (A) or (B) but it's just an outdated overpriced product that's not very useful. Better off with a laptop and the USB FlexControl. - Unfortunately, as of 2024 they are way behind in the market which is sad because they had such a lead back in 2012 and were way ahead of the competition but I guess their military contract with Raytheon has taken them away from Ham radio, I guess they have to go where the money is. - BTW you still can't directly connect the Maestro to WIFI in a hotel or coffee shop without and PC so what's the Point? Also, The Noise Blanker and Noise reduction just barely works after all these years that SmartSDR has been out? - After my 6600M went on fire while in receive that was it for me, sent it back for repair and sold it!

[@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures]

Nice video Kyle.

[@AA0Z]

Thanks Chuck!

[@N3PEM]

First

[@AA0Z]

You're always first in my book.

[@Ei2iP]

Interesting but the not sure why the baby talk is required? It dumbs down the whole interview.. HDMI?

[@AA0Z]

I have no idea what you consider baby talk and where you heard it in the interview. The HDMI committee is notorious for asking for copyright on videos.

[@unixbehr]

Nice but overpriced for not being a full radio. its just a remote head. this is whats killing ham radio they are not making it for hobby they are making it more for industrial and military

[@AA0Z]

Lol. Then don't purchase it. You need to get another Beofung.

[@MacsForever1]

Hey, if you think the maestro as just a display is expensive well check out the Elecraft remote display that’s remote for the K3 that doesn’t even have a spectrum display and it’s more expensive so it’s a bargain!
