Re: [Flexradio] 6000 Series SOFTWARE Questions
Ed, Just a small correction: Apple computers do not 'run well disguised versions of Linux'. Mac OS X (and iOS on the iPhone/iPad) are based on BSD. BSD is another Unix variant. Porting non-graphical software between Linux, BSD and OS X is usually quite easy. Porting graphical applications is a much harder proposition unless some cross-platform GUI toolkit is used. However, such toolkits usually make compromises on the consistency of the interface on the different platforms, e.g. the application running on a Mac looks out of place with other Mac applications. Hope this helps, Matt VK6MR On 20/05/2012, at 11:17 AM, Ed Haskell wrote: Greg, It appears that SmartSDR is not a Windows app. It runs in the 6000 not on the PC. There will be a user interface app (SmartSDR-win) that runs on the PC. That app will communicate with the 6000 running SmartSDR over an IP/TCP (Ethernet) network, initially on a LAN but eventually over the Internet. Any computer which supports the Ethernet could have an app that performs the same function as SmartSDR-win. Obvious candidates are Apple computers which run well disguised versions of Linux, and one or more open versions of Linux. It is possible, perhaps eve likely that some of these environments will be supported directly by Flex Radio. It is virtually certain that others will write these user interface apps on nonWindows environments.

[Flexradio] 6000 series
It looks like there is a wealth of great ideas in this new design. First and foremost, the computer is inside the radio box where it belongs. This has come up repeatedly on the reflector and is really the key to finding the way forward. The server/client architecture offers a world of interesting possibilities, and the outboard computer has nothing to do but put a picture on the screen. The ARM chip is giving its full attention to the radio, so it is plenty powerful for the task. Since the display/control program has been greatly simplified, the focus is off that program. Over time, Flex will be relieved of the endless drain on company resources that PSDR has represented. Moreover, the simplicity of the interface program may mean that versions for Linux and/or Mac may be more likely to appear some day. CW latency and QSK are specifically addressed in the promotional material and these issues will be laid to rest forever. Since the radio will be a network device, interfacing other software and/or hardware to it will not require any hacks to the source code. Remote operation will be no harder than local operation. There are line in and line out connectors, and physical USB ports. Virtual ports and cables may be possible, but they won't be necessary. Firewire is out of the picture. It will be fascinating to see the evolution of this design and its progress in the marketplace. Congratulations to Flex! Let's hope that the 6000 series fulfills all its many promises.

Re: [Flexradio] The GPSDO option in the 6000
The GPSDO is a TCXO that is disciplined by a GPS receiver. The radio switches to the GPSDO when it is present.

I noticed in the specs it does not list DIGU or DIGL as used with the other Flex rigs...but it lists RTTY. Looking on the back of the radio I don't see an input for RTTY. Is it on the ACCY connector or is it going to be done by a VSP? What then is used for PSK, SSTV and other digital modes? Are we back to using USB/LSB and manually making sure CMP is off?
