In this release:
- Added SO2V support (SO2R tab) [requires PSDR 1.19.4 or later] Big News for the contesters. You can now use your Flex-5000, when equipped with a 2nd receiver, as SO2V (single op 2 VFOs) in the contests. Thanks to Lee Crocker (W9OY) who offered the encouragement and defined the functions and controls to make this work. Oh, and did I mention a large amount of tolerance on his part. This new feature allows a huge amount of control of the radio, amplifier(s) and antenna selections. Here is a few of the features: The following settings will be automatically selected based on band used. . Control two (2) separate 1 of 10 antenna arrays one for each VFO/Amplifier using parallel ports. Depending on the decoder used the number of antennas can be as many as sixteen (16) per decoder. . Band switch up to two amplifiers via <http://k5fr.com/ddutilwiki/index.php?title=Glossary#Binary-Coded_Decimal> BCD data output to the parallel port(s). . Selects the proper PSDR drive setting for each amplifier by band. . Selects both receive (Rx 1/2) and transmit antenna ports on the radio for each VFO by band. . Selects PTT via TX control lines based on VFO selection by band. . Select transmit VFO via PSDR console OR external switch connected to a designated serial port. . Rx2 is automatically started when SO2R is enabled. . N1MM and DXLab contest/logging programs directly supported. * As an extra tidbit there will be a new Tuning Knob available soon that will solve the focus problems when using N1MM and will also give operators a new freedom and method of tuning the radio. The prototype hardware is working well and DDUtil integration is underway. Please read the documentation thoroughly as this can be a confusing feature till understood. http://k5fr.com/ddutilwiki/index.php?title=SO2R - Added code to switch off VHF+ ports if a HF band selected (tnx Ken N0GZ). - Deleted device name from BCD tab and revised text box in Data Signals group (Ports tab). - Repaired code that crashed the program when freq. dropped below 1.00 MHz (tnx Harry W0LS). DDUtil 1.8.0 is available for download from: http://k5fr.com/ddutilwiki/index.php?title=Latest_Revision 73, Steve K5FR _______________________________________________ Flexedge mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexedge_flex-radio.biz This is the FlexRadio Systems e-mail Reflector called FlexEdge.
