My 6500 arrived today!

I'm a 100% complete Noob when it comes to SDR, except for what I've read on here for the past few weeks. 

What a great bunch!

I now have plugged it in.  So get ready.

73,
Lee

    The Radio Panel; clicking on the blue labels (TX, P/CW, PHNE, RX, EQ) will toggle them on/off, this helps determine which is which. Click on the arrow up to separate the "radio panel" from the panafall. Now there is a blank bar above each one, I hope someday they will contain the words; Transmit, Receive, Phone/CW, Phone, and Equalizer (if you click&drag on these blank bars you can shuffle them into any order you like).

    Lee I am lucky, all I did was creat a Smart Link account and all done, never even considered touching the router, it just worked.

    But their are some people on here that are really good at this, so maybe some of them will help. Mr Walker is one of them.

    Excellent, thanks Bill.

    Yeah, I got the Red Light.

    I need to get busy and get a sketch of my network laid out, because it's a cobbled together hillbilly mess and I get my internet from a hotspot, and so the smart guys are going to have some specific questions that I need to get prepared to answer.

    Lee, perhaps your best plan is to open a help desk ticket.  Flex is expert at solving Smartlink related issues. 

    They will likely want to do a TeamViewer session with you but in a few minutes they can probably determine the issue and get you on a path to success.

    Yeah, I will, and I'm pretty sure it's in this conglomeration I call a network that the problem lies.

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.
