David, I believe the facility you are looking for already exists in PowerSDR. You will need a UCB board, or build something similar, to take advantage of it.
In PowerSDR, go to Setup/Ext. Ctrl. There you can define which pins of the X2 connector you want exerted on a per-band and receive/transmit basis. You can use that to then control whatever you wish. The full blown UCB kit is available from Phil Theis, K3TUF, at http://k3tuf.com/UCB.html . I have built Phil's UCB kit, and will tell you he did a very nice job of it. I have also designed and built my own version, and while it doesn't look nearly as nice, it works much the same. Phil's kit will give you up to 16 different relays, that are all completely programmable with PowerSDR. If you wish to control several different relays on the same band, then you might use the transverter option of PowerSDR, defining the same band on different buttons, with different X2 pin outputs. Thus, you might have 4 different buttons defined for 80 meters, each one giving a different relay closure at the remote site to switch in a different beverage, or whatever you wish. Hope this helps. 73, Army - AE5P -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Cole Sent: Monday, December 03, 2007 2:19 PM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Remote operating Hi all - I wish to select my beverages and other relay operated items from my remote location - has anyone written a program similar to the SDR 1K where a matrix is selected and the output is directed to the RS 232 port or possible the parallell port - to switch a transistor and subsequently a relay..
