Twin slice operation idea
Please 'like' this if you think it is a good idea.
Over this weekend I was working a contest. Both the 80 and 40 m bands have two contest preferred segments (at least in Region 1 where the contest is). So I set up a couple of profiles with two slice receivers/panadaptor slices showing so I could monitor the two segments in the same band simultaneously.
I experimented with dealing with the audio from both slices and thought of an option that would be very handy in this case. I would have liked slice B to automatically mute when clicking on a signal in slice A and vice-versa so I could give the selected signal my undivided attention. Manually having to mute the slices seemed to be a lot of unnecessary work. I am not talking about regular split operation where one would have two slices and one panadaptor, all the same frequency.
I am not an experienced contester at all and maybe those who are may not like this idea at all. It is just something that I would have found particularly useful to have in this instance.
If the above is not clear I would be more than happy to try and explain myself better.
Mni tnx.

Install SDR bridge. It already does that now.0

Looks useful, thanks for mentioning it. But for what I have in mind it appears more complicated than a native SSDR solution. I will still check it out though.
Have a good weekend.0 -
Not just contesting, but dxing when a DXpedition Station could be on multiple bands at the same time.
A real good suggestion Guy....I LIKE it.
Right now I have two instances of JT running, on two bands....looking for new ones.
Unfortunately I only have two antennas!

This would be easy to write as a third party app. A simple program that monitored the radio and muted all slices but the active slice.
loop
//listen for radio changes
if active = 0 unmute 0; mute 1;
if active = 1 unmute 1; mute 0;
etc etc
return
Yes its a bit more complex, but that's the high level.
I doubt flex would incorporate this into SmartSDR, as its a specific operating style.
I'm a bit busy coding my own software at the moment, but maybe someone else will take this on if there is interest.

That is why it would be an option. A BIG plus about SSDR is its flexibility (no pun intended) without dictating how one should operate.

Take a look at my latest release of FRStack. It contains this feature.

The Radio menu item contains a option called:
Radio slice active mutes inactive slices.

Thanks for your fine work in FRStack and thanks for the heads up on that feature.
