my flex 6400M has two ant ports 1 and 2 I need to know where in the radio these ports are connected

Milo

and where I can switch them and what antennas I can connect to these ports, if there was a users manual I could find this info I think but I did not get one with my radio. Where can can I get this info please. Thank you Milo W9EK

You can use both antenna ports for sending and /or receiving independently , Look at the your moving slice with frequency etc. There you see 2 times ANT1 ANT2 or RX ant . Choose this with the mouse. It will be remembered according to the band ( or your profile settings ) . Just understand you can and have to choose RX adn TX Ant each at its own. There is another way to switch antenna at the left side menu , I believe you can also find videos about that in youtube

Why use the Maestro user guide rather than the 6400M/6600M user guide?

I thing the 6400M/6600M user’s guide would be more helpful.

Geoff AB6BT

Neil, Possibly, but Milo's original question was "where in the radio these ports are connected".

As far as using the 2 antenna ports, the SmartSDR-Software-User-Guide would probably be helpful as you suggest.

Milo

Neil and Geoff thank you both for you answers to my question. I would really like to aquire a 6400M/6600M users guide I have been trying to get one for most of the 2 years I have been trying to learn to use my 6400M if you can help me get a 6400M users manual it would be a big help and also tell me how to use this comunications link that would sure help too. Thank you Milo

I posted a link to the hardware manual previously.

I got that from the Flex web site. The SmartSDR user guides are there as well.

I'm guessing that you are asking about SmartSDR. You don't mention what version you are running so here are links to versions 2 and 3:

Hi Milo, Here is a link to the version 2 and 3 Maestro user's guides. The front panel of your 6400M is virtually the same as a Maestro in operation. Hopefully this helps.

I am using the 6400M/6600M users guide appears to be the one to use thanks.
