Hi All
Further to my email rant about Flex XVTR band change data shortcomings
yesterday ... I was in Error !!! My Apologies to Flex.
It seems I once again over complicated my own life ... I added a 32 button
Stream Deck to my SmartSDR PC System that controls my Flex 6600M.
I "borrowed" some canned code from one of the Stream Deck Flex integrations
that had band change buttons for the XVTR bands ... I am still not exactly
sure what commands those button presses are sending to the Flex, but they
are definitely not the same as pushing a Band button on SmartSDR panel as
those work as desired and switch me back to exactly where I was previously
on each XVTR band.
So ... again my apologies ... adding more tech seems to have validated the
KISS principle.

Hi
I have a Flex 6600M and a number of XVTRs connected to its XVTRA RXA ports
with external switching controlled via the Flex IO USB
* 8 CH Relays to control DPDT coax switch to select between a Kuhne
144 XVTR (which is the IF for 10 24 47 GHz XVTRs) and a Q5 5-Band XVTR
My issue is that when I change VHF+ bands via the Flex, it resets my freq,
panadapter etc to default settings and so I can switch back to where I was
when running the bands because the Flex thinks it all 28MHz and even though
it handles all the XVTR's it doesn't have any band memory / persistence for
XVTRs. This makes running the bands and going back and forth to coordinate a
feal nuisance.
Does anyone have a workaround or know if some other HF IF rigs handle this
better ie: K3 or K4 ???
