Ken,
Yes, I did try the Flexradio 6000 Designation. And it didn't make any
difference. I even tried to set it up SO2V and that didn't even work. I
wrote a posting out on Flexradio Third Party Software. I have 11 people
that have looked at it but no responses at all as of yet. I even wrote a
message to Steve Woodruff from Writelog and no responses from him today. I
am basically at a standstill. I can't proceed to set the program up until I
can get the radio to communicate with the software. I think that perhaps it
might be an issue with the SmartSDR CAT File. But nobody has said anything
about that. I never thought one program could be so exasperating to setup.
Even N1MM isn't as hard to setup.
