[SCCC] Flex Radio

[Bruce Horn]

I'd be happy to learn of a method of sending CW with a Flex from computer logging software, such as N1MM+, but haven't found it. You can use a set of CAT commands in the function key definitions of N1MM to send CW, but you don't have control of the CW speed within N1MM with that method.

I've been successful remotely operating SSB with a 6600M/Maestro, but you need to get used to the latency.

I suggest rather than taking random opinions you might want to watch the Flex videos

https://www.flexradio.com/videos/

which will give you in depth previews of the various features

I have been running Flex Radios remotely since 2011 and they performed well for me in contests
I have run them from 31 different countries even from the bottom on the English Channel and on a Zodiac Boat at SV/A
The iPad and iPhone apps are superb and nothing else comes close

I do not understand Bruce WA7BNM comment about not being able to network CAT, Audio and CW
As I can do everything remotely anywhere in the world on my Flex with NO EXTERNAL Equipment
So I suspect it may be a learning curve issue for him albeit I rarely do CW enough to give a damn
But I easily run FT8 from anywhere in the world via my iPad

I have owned 2 Flex as well as most top of the line Icom. Flex has the best receivers I have used and by far the best visual band display and built in DX spots. It’s purpose built for internet connection so it is by far the easiest to remote.  

I am not a CW guy but I know Flex users such as K9CT win cw contests.

Is anyone in the club using a 6x00 Flex Radio?  I am thinking of buying one and would be interested in your experience. My primary mode is cw.

You can email me at w6lax at arrl.net

Thanks, Roger
