DXLab's Commander provides primary and secondary CAT ports. One can configure the radio connected to the secondary CAT port to lead, follow, or lead and follow the primary radio's frequency and mode.
Commander can also choose from among four connected primary radios, either by mouse click or automatically as a function of frequency. All DXLab applications are free, and available via www.dxlabsuite.com 73, Dave, 8P9RY ------------- Message: 5 Date: Wed, 17 Mar 2010 16:16:05 -0500 From: "David W LeJeune, Sr" <lejeu...@centurytel.net> To: <FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz> Subject: [Flexradio] PowerSDR, Flex 5000A, Orion II and N4PY software Message-ID: <000401cac617$0f0eb510$2d2c1f...@net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" As a happy owner of the Flex 5K and an Orion II, I've often wished there was some way I could enjoy the advantages of both radios simultaneously. There are times when I prefer using the Orion II (and I won't go into that - its purely subjective) but really miss the panadapter of the Flex and the point and click capabilities it brings. Moreover, the sub receiver of the Orion can't hold a candle to either the Orion primary receiver or the Flex 5K, so using the Flex 5k as a second receiver would really be nice. Two days ago, Carl, N4PY, announced an upgrade to his controller software for the Orion and other radios that now allows me to do exactly what I have described above. With a very minor modification to the Orion II, I can now use the Flex 5K as a second receiver and use the great capabilities of the PowerSDR panadapter and its point and click tuning to control the Flex radio. I know - I know - I could have bought LP-Pan, a Perseus or other SDR receiver and achieved the same thing, but I already owned the Flex 5K. Thanks, Carl.
