How do you hook two flex controls up to a 6500

Dale KB5VE

I saw someone had two flex controls working at the same time. I came in possession of a second knob and wanted to play with it. Any suggestions? One works good, the second does nothing.

I don't have 2 Flex Controls yet, but I plan to add a 2nd one shortly.

The method I was planning to use was to let SmartSDR control one and let DDUtil control the other. Essentially attaching them both to the radio.

Rumor from Dayton was that Flex may add the ability for a 2nd control at some point, but it was just a rumor.

Dale & Michael,
I've been using 2 controls for a while now.  See this link for a pic and more details.

So do you have the instructions on setting it up with the utility? I have the iPad program so I feel this will be the finishing touch in my set up. I have two different amps one antenna 1&2 with remote switch to route them through tuner and remote antenna switch. This gives me the ability to choose solid state 1kw or the Alpha 8410 with legal limit. When remote over wan is made active I will be one satisfied puppy. Any suggestions on using the utility with the second flex knob would be appreciated.

Hi Dale,
I have a document posted elsewhere that shows my DDUtil setup including the FlexControl.  

Drop me and Email and I can point you to it.
