Re: [Flexradio] Remote Control Power On Flex 5000A
Just a thought I once had to do something similar on a piece of equipment that could only be powered up via a button on a scanned keypad matrix. I wired an optocoupler across the keyboard on closure position of the matrix to maintain complete isolation then was able to control the on-off through the optocoupler using external control. It would take some internal wiring and I haven't looked at the 5000 schematic, but I believe it should be possible. To make it simpler, maybe just a momentary relay contact closure will do the trick. Possibly control the relay from one of the handshaking lines of the computer serial port while you are connected via VNC and using hyperterminal? Someone more familiar with RS-232 control than me, would have to let you know if that's possible.

Re: [Flexradio] Remote Control Power On Flex 5000A
Mack, one possibiltity is: use a router or switch which is always connected to the mains and the network cable with the computer that is used with your SDR. Use a master/slave power panel where the computer is the master and your SDR one of the slaves. With Lanstart or a similar program you can power up the pc. When it is up you can remotely work with the pc (i.e. with ULTRA VNC VIEWER) and start remotely PowerSDR and control your SDR. After you have finished you have to powerdown your pc and pc as well as SDR are switched off and again your router or hub ist the only device which stays powered up and ready for a new Lanstart.

Re: [Flexradio] CW Skimmer 196khz
Jan, My mistake, sri! I use a SDR-IQ with Skimmer most of the time, which is directly supported. Skimmer does actually decode the whole 192kz segment.

So I sent a Email to Alex, VE3NEA who has made CW Skimmer, and here is his answer: CW Skimmer decodes a fixed-width segment of the band, regardless of the waterfall size. In the SoftRock-IF mode, the segment size if 24 kHz. If you are wondering why, please see the Configuration / Radio / SoftRock-IF section in the Help file And this is allso what my Skimmer is doing, I can't get it to decode anything outside +/-12kHz of my QRG.
