How do I search the "Community" - Search criteria isn't working for me

K7JV

I am struggling with searching the Community.  Today, I am trying to find posts on how to operate CW from a Windows laptop.  Unfortunately, most of the articles are three, or four or five or more years old.  So I put in the search critiera to list the articles "Newest at the top".  When I do that, the newest appear to be at the top, but the CW criteria is ignored, even though I had "remote cw" in the topic box.

Is it possible to search for a topic and have it sort applicable posts with the newest at the top?  I'm getting blue in the face, from trying.

Please try remotehams.com. might be just what you are looking for.

I, too, struggle with finding the most recent posts on things even when using "advanced search".

Thank you, Ben.  I visited their site.  Looks like they are Elekraft based, but maybe the software is more universal.  I didn't download it, yet.  I would think that FLEX would come up with a way to remotely run CW on the FLEX radios without having to have the Maestro in hand.  I did get the Maestro, but there may be times when I would not have it, but have my laptop and want to operate CW.

All it would take would be to have the option for a side-tone, and the trackpad or mouse buttons could function as a straight key, if nothing else.  I'll check out the RCForb product.

Thank you again, and cheers and best 73.

You may be right, Tim.  Doing a Google search with two or three words to describe the heart of the question, and perhaps the word FLEX.

I just tried that and in the Google window I typed "cw remote flex", and I got several hits, all tied to this forum.  So I think you are absolutely right.

Thank you so much.  Best 73!

I was just going to say the same thing.  If you do this in the Chrome search bar, it might help.

site:community.flexradio.com blah blah

You will get results unique to the site.  I use this all the time and it will only return results from the community.
