Flex1500 usb protocol or driver source

rspanbauer

Hi - as I understand the situation, Flexradio no longer supports the Flex 1500. I have one of these radios that I'd like to make use of for some experiments - it's looks to be a clean QSE/QSD design with good filters, etc. I work with embedded or Linux baseband radios, so using the old Windows .dll doesn't work for me. Has Flexradio ever released the usb protocol and/or driver source for this radio? If not, has anyone here asked? I'd rather not ask support if this is a commonly asked & already answered question.

I'll answer my own question here, just as a waypoint for future, like minded questions. There is a thread titled "release of source for flex 3000 driver?" which asked a similar question to mine. The responses pretty well covered the issues involved in releasing source for deprecated Flexradio products. I think that thread answers the question I posed here.
