I have been looking for a digital voice keyer program that I could use with PowerSDR & VAC for contesting. I currently have an MFJ-434B Voice Keyer in line, but adding hardware to a software-defined radio just seems silly to me. Besides, I want to permanently exile the MFJ-434B to the camper for

I regularly find it amusing that the feature that most hams hate about the SDR is its lack of all the buttons, knobs, dials and switches. I find that odd since one of primary design goal was to eliminate most or all of them. Now, if a button, switch, knob or even a slider breaks the radio need n

Hello Joe, You can control the volume level of RX1 independent of RX2's volume by using the vertical slider control at the left of the "MultiRX" grouping of controls that is located beneath the DSP grouping (NR, ANF, NB, NB2, SR, BIN). When you do this, then the "AF" behaves more like a master

Re: [Flexradio] Audio on 2nd Receive

The two controls that you mentioned are not specific to RX1. They are overall Mute and AF controls. The volume control for RX1 only is just to the left of the display controls in the MultiRX section -- the left vertical slider will adjust the volume of RX1 only. Eric Wachsmann FlexRadio Systems

It appears the audio on the 2nd receiver (RX2) is NOT independent of RX1. If I mute RX1 than RX2 is also muted and if I reduce the AF on RX1 to 0 than RX2 is also reduced to 0. I can mute RX2 without affecting RX1 but not the inverse. Is this the way it should work and will always work? Tha
