Product updates

FLEX-6400 and FLEX-6600 radios are in stock and shipping within 3 business days of order placement. FLEX-6400M and FLEX-6600M models are expected to begin shipping in early October 2023. For those customers with M-models on backorder, yours will be the first to ship as soon as they come off the line.
Maestro
The Maestro continues to stay on track for production sometime in November and we expect to start shipping around the fall holidays. For those customers with a Maestro on backorder, watch for an email in the coming weeks to confirm your order and complete a short survey on your interest in various accessories in preparation for the first build.
Genius Line Update
Power Genius, Tuner Genius, and Antenna Genius products are all currently in stock and shipping within 48 hours of order placement. For deals on bundle offerings please contact hams@flexradio.com for more information and let us help you take your station to the next level.
Software updates
FlexRadio has announced the availability of SmartSDR v3.5.8. For more details on what is in this release and to upgrade your radio to this latest version, please visit our community.
As part of an urgent cleanup exercise, we are removing some older versions of SmartSDR from Maestros and M model radios. V3.4.23 and V2.9.1 were removed on Monday, August 14.
OEM HF Radio Operation
Do you own a non-Flex HF Radio and want to use it with the Power Genius XL and/or Tuner Genius XL? Thanks to our amazing engineering teams, we have made it a bit simpler to make this happen.
Both the TGXL and PGXL can connect directly via CAT (or CI-V) to either device today.
What if you want to connect any 2 HF radios at the same time?
This is one sample configuration for radios that have CAT over USB and an external RS232 CAT port.
If this configuration is something you have, and are interested in upgrading to a Power Genius XL and/or a Tuner Genius XL, we are here to help.
Imagine your FLEX-6400 sharing the PGXL with your other HF radio. Add a 8×2 Antenna Genius and you have a beautiful station setup.
