I’m working on my own GUI client using FlexAPI, but SmartCAT doesn’t recognize it? Do SmartCAT and SmartDAX only work with FRS GUI programs?

    Version 2.51 only allows a single GUI app to connect to the radio and display things like the panadapter and waterfall. You can run a non GUI app and a GUI app like SSDR together. That's the reason I upgraded to v3. James WD5GWY

    Mark, I didn’t show that part of my code, but I do connect to the radio.

    Mark,

    After a lot more testing, I reverted my 6700 to v2.4.9 and SmartCAT recognizes my GUI client. There must have been a change in the process with the conversion to v3.

    Under v2.4.9, SmartCAT connects to the radio as soon as I select it. Under v2.5.1, it won't connect to the radio until a GUI client is running. But it seems like merely setting IsGUI in the API isn't enough. 

    I've  opened a help ticket on this issue. Hopefully, someone in the know from Flex will tell me what's missing.

    You are using the FlexAPI V3+  with 2.5.1 and 3.X right?

    Okay, it turns out that with FlexAPI v2.5.1, you must call the Radio object method, SetClientStationName. Once you do that, SmartCAT will find your GUI client.

    I'm using FlexAPI v2.5.1. My understanding is that it incorporates the changes needed to support the v3 common code.
