How to Sync a VFO Flex6xxx to an Icom/Kenwood/Elecraft Radio VFO Tuning Same Frequency ... Any Software/Box out there that does this ?

Want the Flex to be the Master Radio and the other rig VFO to follow the Flex

I'm pretty sure you can do this with HRD V5 (and may V6).  I remember testing this years ago when I had a TS480 on my remote base and my Flex 3000 locally.

Found this, wondering if this would work ? A Non-PC solution - Remoteqth.com

Not sure if Flex6xxx talks same protocols as Kenwood, etc ?

I own some RemoteQTH stuff (more than I need).  It works.  Don't forget, your 6000 series radio has a built in BCD as well.

Michael Aust

Does BCD from th Flex send more than just Band Data, does it include Frequency Data.

Think the RemoteQth Band Decoder can take BCD input ( not sure if it's same as Kenwood's BCD data - anyone know answer ? and drive the other radio, Icom or 
possibly the Icom drive the Flex6xxx radio. 

Depends which is Master and which radio is **** since think it is not bi-directional

Similar to zero-beating "syncing" a Viking II to an HQ-170?
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Yes.  All 6000 radios can stream, Kenwood, CI-V, Yaesu or BCD ... at the same time.

Very very flexible

I'll second the DX Lab Suite Commander software. My Yaesu FTDX-1200 tracks my 6500 via the software.

I think you may be able to use DDUtil for that. I used to use another utility to sync my 1500 to my 6500 about two or three years ago, but I cannot remember what I used. It allowed me either to make the 1500 follow the 6500, the 6500 follow the 1500, or both follow each other, depending upon which boxes were clicked. It was really slick.

Michael - I have written a program that does exactly what you need.  I emailed you download instructions.

Yes. TS2000 on one hardware serial port for radio 1 and the 6500 set up as Radio 2. Make sure you do an SO2R setup.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do.  Is it to have a 6500 track the VFO on a TS2000 so they stay in sync using N1MM?

If that is correct, can I ask why and I don't think you can, but you can ask that in the N1MM+ users group.

If you wish to us both the TS2000 and the 6500 while connected to N1MM for a contest, then you need to so an SO2R setup.

Let me know what you are thinking.

Thanks

Keeping 2 radios in sync is not something N1MM does. I know that DXLax has that exact feature. May not be as convenient in a contest, but that would be doable. Any KU7T
