    Hi Mark, I had it running and I remember I used either TS-2000 or TS-480. As I am still in Scotland I can't verify. Will be back Saturday. 73 Alex, DH2ID

    I have use PC-ALE with a Flex 6500 .  You can use either the Kenwood radio settings and or the Flex Radio settings . If you have it scanning you have communication between the Flex and the software. Is PTT working ?

    The failure message you are getting my be the common one where PC-ALE reports a .dat file is missing.  If that is the case, there is a easy fix...let me know and I'll send the instructions for fixing it. 

    Your observation about ALE and an SDR's ability to monitor several frequencies was exactly my reaction when I first used PC-ALE with a Flex 6500.  I passed my comments along to the PC-ALE developer but he does not anticipate any changes to PC-ALE that would take in to account the different capabilities of an SDR.

    That is a shame.  He could eliminate CAT too in addition to taking advantage of the multiple receivers.

    Hi @"John WA7UAR" , I just attempted to send you a DM as well but I just created a profile to do so and it says I don't have permission to DM you (maybe i'm too new). Could I also get any setup instructions you may have?

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
