The short answer is no, not currently. The d-sub connector isn't a serial port, it is a FlexWire port. As such, you have to design an IC2 hardware interface to connect to it and the peripheral you want to talk to and then write code to control it. To date, there is not anything like that available.

If you set the FLEX-5000 internal tuner to BYP (Bypass), then clicking on TUN will cause the FLEX-5000 (or SDR-1000 for that matter) to transmit a carrier at the tune power level. With the MFJ-998 in automatic mode, it should tune automatically. Click TUN again to return to normal operation. 73, Ray, K9DUR -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Bill Photinos Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 7:16 AM To: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] external tuner control Is there any provision in the hardware or software in the Flex-5000 to support an external tuner such as the MFJ-998 and similar?
