NEED INFO (HELP) ON COMPUTER BOOKS THAT HELP WITH UNDERSTANING FLEX RADIOS

jwinner

I am a old F**T that doesn't know a lot about port forwarding and things that would help me set up my Flex radio. I need some recommendations on books to read to help me understand some of the technology that is needed to set up and control my flex. 

I know this is a broad request but any help would be appreciated.

I am with you John. The thing that I am especially anoid about are the folks who keep throwing around these cute little 3 nd 4 letter abbreviations .

Eric, John maybe asking for some reference books at a level the average ham could understand. I would add some web address or articles, even the appropriate Flex articles you would recommend. Some 3 rd party applications have reduced the work to set up other modes apps and logging. 73 Bil W9JJB

I was going to comment but decided that it was not worth it.

Thank you all!! I will try to respond to all but we live in central florida and we are expecting severe weather tonight & possible tornado watch. Loads of lightning and 60+ windslater. Sorry but have to get stuff (pool furniture etc. inside) so I don't have to at 1 a.m. in the morning. I hope the Hamcation buildings will be O.K. as I live 15 miles from it. I just heard on t.v. that the weather warning transmitter in Daytona Beach has stopped working so no warnings on the weather radio in my area.. Can you say "No backup  transmitter?" Again, thanks for all the info. This is a fantastic forum with fantastic people!!!! Thanks again!

Agreed. To some degree... Some of the videos avoid the network configuration part and leave you on your own to figure that part out. I understand why, the configuration of each Flex and home network is probably different in at least one way from someone else's configuration. A basic understanding of TCP/IP goes a long way in getting around this, particularly with the concept of client server communications and how they work between nodes on a network.

Thanks Michael, I will try to find some "Computers for DUMMIES Books"!

Alan, I do that same think here as Google knows all. I sometimes wonder what "GOOGLE" knows about me!

Michael, I have ordered the Dummies book on networking that you suggested. I receive it Sunday . I thought about how I have Alexa, Flex, Security Cameras to be hooked up and who knows what in the future? I definitely need to know networks!! Thanks, you have helped!!!
