[Flexradio] Flex-1500 w/other software

2010-12-20 Thread Hulen Smith
I'm at a loss as to how to connect (CAT control w/third party software) with my 1500 since it has no serial port. I'm familiar with vCOM VAC as I use it with my K3/PWSDR-IF. I use it also with LP-Bridge and HRD with my Flex-1000. These radios have serial ports. Once I connect to them I can use

Hulen, Remember, the radio is actually the software. All the hardware does is act as an RF modem. PowerSDR (the REAL radio) does utilize serial ports. Open the Setup form click on the CAT Control tab. There you can select the serial port to use for CAT control a separate port (if desired)

Ok the trick was to assign the Kenwood TS-2000 in HRD rather than Flex SDR. I had assumed the TS-2000 was for only PowerSDR since HRD had Flex as a choice. ASS U ME L Now how can I configure my homebrew soft to work? As if it’s talking to a Kenwood I presume using the same virtual port as

As if it’s talking to a Kenwood I presume using the same virtual port as had been configured for HRD? I believe the answer is yes, because I am not 100% sure what you are doing. The CAT interface in PowerSDR is bi-lingual in that it will receive a Kenwood formatted CAT command and instruct the

For the record I have also experienced some erratic tuning and for what seems to be no apparent reason. Sometimes the antennas will tune instantly and sometimes not at all. Weather has not been the issue here either. Rick W2JAZ ___ FlexRadio Systems
