Well, I know of a software solution. Ham Radio Integrator software by N3ZH can monitor a flex5000 via cat control virtual com port and can use a specific model of rs232 controlled relay box to control relays based on the radio's frequency. I use it to auto band switch my svc amplifier.
Ham Radio Integrator is written in Java and should also work on Linux and Macintosh computers to provide HRD-like cat control of radio's, antenna tuners, relays, etc..

Thanks for the quick reply. I would like to see a FLEX-6000 accessory that would output control lines indicating Band Of Operation ( without going through a 3rd party PC based application ). I other words, I'd like to see an accessory that would provide an individual "pull to ground" output for each band, 160m, 80m, 60m, etc all the way through the VHF/UHF/microwave transverters. This would be used for controlling amplifier band selection, selecting antennas by band, selecting external transverters, etc. Hope something like that will become available with signaling provided by the Accessory Connector. 73 Lloyd - N9LB -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Stephen Hicks, N5AC Sent: Saturday, September 01, 2012 8:13 AM To: Lloyd Berg Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [FlexEdge] FLEX-6000 Accessory Connector We have not yet released a piece of equipment to connect to the accessory port, but providing frequency data or band data from the I2C port is a reasonable use for the port. Did you have an existing piece of hardware in mind that would be looking for I2C band data?
