Flex meter is great for youtube

Ria

I stream my radio on youtube sometimes, for special events and such. Often I don't want to show the entire radio interface but I want to show something moving, so what better than a bouncing S-meter and graph...

Something like this when I was listening to JE1LET this morning:

(He works WO2X at 15:30 or so)

Pretty slick. This is Flex Meter.

Really cool idea, Ria! Thanks for sharing. Interested what others are doing to stream live.

BTW I use OBS and send DAX directly to it. It's pretty amazing that digital audio straight from the radio's FPGA is being sent over the Internet to YouTube!

haha that was nice hearing me work JE1LET. Very cool setup.

Next up I want to put more data on screen without using SmartSDR, but I might have to build something for this. If I do, I'll share.

The denzone.com web page where the latest version of Flex Meter (v1.2)  is posted was down for a couple of days this week.  The web hosting company fixed the problem and as of this morning the web page is available.

I have used OBS thru YouTube during a small local net so that others could see their output waveform on SSB as a means for tweaking their audio equalization. One issue tends to be the internet upload speed. With not great upload speed there is a lot of buffering and delay such that the viewing parties do not necessarily see a real time view but they sure get to see some great video.

Thanks for sharing. I read up on FlexMeter. How do you go about sharing this on Youtube? Maybe a small HowTo document would be nice? Looking for information how to share FlexMeter, audio, maybe also pandadapter on a link as a live stream....

Thanks,

I've been watching a YouTube that Annaliese McDermond, NH6Z did a couple of years ago. She mentioned a software package called FlexMeters which was originally found at denzone.com. I've tried for the last few days to download a copy so I can see how it interacts with the Flex 6000 radios and it seems the Website's DNS entry is no longer.

Does anyone know where I can find a copy of FlexMeters?

73 and good DX,

Do a search here in the Community and you should find a link to someone's Dropbox account that has Flex Meter in it that you can download.
