Why can't I hear a clients audio when he transmits on my radio remotely

Guess you could listen with a WEB based remote SDR receiver Using WEB CATSYNC synced to your Flex Radio Not sure what FRS will say 73 Mike

But wouldn't the remote user have to listen to his own audio? That would drive me crazy after a while, Unless MON would only turn on audio at the location that pressed MON

Pat I know,,will have to think on this one

Bill -VA3WTB

Maybe that will be a feature for later?

I will likely save my money till then,   I would jump at the chance to share my radio with a buddy that is in an HOA,   But not being able to hear each other on a net is a show stopper.

Pat N6PAT

Yes

In the audio recording business we call this "talk back" function.  It is a monitoring function so you can communicate with the other person directly.  You can make it configurable option and also turn it on or off.  Turns out it is very very useful.

Teamspeak, Skype... would work.

I'm surprised that the MON function wasn't enhanced to handle this situation. I would think a change to engage the MON function for the location that activated it would work. This way you would only hear the other op or ops audio and not your own unless there was an option to hear both/all.

This would have allowed you to have ongoing QSO's with the other op without relying on yet another piece of software.that you have to worry about regarding compatibility.

Sure, but you need to be able to protect that 2nd reciever from the transmitter.  Multi op stations do this all the time but they have antenna configurations that support it. 

Bill -VA3WTB

Not if you simply creat a 2nd slice on the panadapter

Im on the way out to visalia or I would do this myself, but We have some alpha testers who have seen this post and are testing some options, including monitoring DAX tx..etc. and linking it to a Virtual Audio cable, or skype so you can monitor the other side..  I would expect some to offer some feedback on this soon.. and if you are at IDXC, come see me and say hello

Bill -VA3WTB

That is true, the original question was , why can't I hear another client transmit while I listen. I was wondering if the radio can do this by simply adding a 2nd slice on V3.

Since some folks are having trouble conceptualizing what is being suggested above, I suggest you check out RCForb at www.remotehams.com. It accomplishes this function perfectly. I use it with my 6300 frequently.

this will work and so will a remote rig.  but I think there is a way to do this with the power of software and some good ham spirit.

Bill -VA3WTB

Ok Chris,,this is all interesting, even if we can't now, it maybe something for Flex to add later?

Bill -VA3WTB

Yes it would be great to keep it within the Flex software.

ctate243

I would think it a possibility but any future additions are covered by NDA.  lets do some good 21st century hamming, and see 
1. can we capture the audio as it passes through the transceiver via dax
2.  send that audio to a Virtual audio cable that can be shared locally and with another computer
3.  or pipe that right to a skype account and setup a computer based monitoring solution..  

what was the old apple tag line??  think different!

Bill -VA3WTB

Chris, can you even see the other client transmit on the screen?

ctate243

Well.  yes it would.  and perhaps it may.. but.. SPOILER ALERT!  ;-) a first version of a major under the hood software release is not often going to be feature complete.  I am absolutely positive the team at FRS are monitoring this community and hear many recommendations behind closed doors for flex supporters.    but the first question, just like on any other platform is if the feature is not there currently, is there a reasonable solution to solve the problem using features that are.. I think there are several ways with this one.

did you see my video I posted a couple days ago?

Bill -VA3WTB

I will check it again

Steve

I have not upgraded and will not pay money for such sketchy software.  Hearing the other party is absolutely necessary in a multi-user environment. As a prospective buyer I was first amazed that there is not a step by step users guide published with a major release.  (NO I have no need for short video clips) .  there also needs to be a list of associate problems publish by Flex so we will all be up to speed with what works and what does not.  This is all getting ridiculous.  ****, without a definitive users manual who can tell what is truly suppose to work or not.  Now I love my Flex radios and I have had many.  I have spent lots of money and do not need this vague ****.
