Steve,
Personally, I would probably find that confining, but probably better
than nothing to start with. It may just depend on the configurations.

Al,
This approach is the "all things to all people through complete
configurability" approach. But with complete configurability comes
complexity. I would prefer to hide all the checkboxes and have a
standard configuration that can be enabled. Even if there are a few
of these, I would rather have a list of them and you just pick the
configuration you have. Then the details would be handled in the
radio without the user having to check all the boxes... Do you think
this would work?

Steve,
I my mind, as a start, I see a table that allows a FW I2C codes
to be related to each band. I realize that raw I2C data codes
could be a bit daunting for most users, but there could be a
couple of default sets. One set would activate only one bit for
each band for up to 16 different bands. A second set could
activate a bits in a BCD ( or binary ) fashion per band. An
alternate could be a matrix ( 20? x 16 )that you fill in your own
bit order per band..
Thinking further, there may other PSDR/SDR signals that would be
useful to have as outputs other than band data ( PTT, MODE, ?? ).
It could look like the HPSDR Penny/Hermes Ctrl panel ( screen
shot attached ).

Al,
We'd be happy to support Phil's board in SmartSDR. To do so
requires a little bit of code to send out the signals (this is
the easy part). The harder part is making sure that it works for
more than just one person -- that the solution suits a broad
audience. It would be great if someone in the community that
understood the needs would coordinate this part: getting
consensus on what we need to send out and if there is any kind of
setup required that would vary based on differing
implementations. Phil has ordered a 6700 so I suspect he would
be interested in participating in the discussion.

K3TUF's Flexwire UCB board ( http://www.k3tuf.com/FW.html )
would do that if PSDR/SSDR would co-operate.. i.e. Send a
unique FW I2C string for each band.
As it is now, DDUTil can generate a FW sequence per band
change and pass it through PSDR to the FW port, But that is
another piece of software..

Hi Steve!
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.

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?

I just received The Flex Insider - Issue 3...
For the FLEX-6000 series, will the I2C data from the
Accessory Connector
support automating band selection for external
amplifiers and
transverters?
