Flex 6400 and transverter and CTCSS

HB9DDS

Hello to all Readers

Does anyone have this combination in operation and can provide experience?

Above all, I would be interested to know whether relay operation is possible with the 1750Hz tone and CTCSS. Does the 6400 provide this?

Hi Daniel, repeater operation is possible with this setup. I have a 6400 and do not see the 1750 Hz tone in the list of CTCSS TX tones, so I am not sure if the TURF file for your part of the world provides it or not.

Make sure to check the RCA TX box in TX Band Settings that corresponds with your PTT line. I use RCA TX2 for my transverter.

Hello Len

Thanks for that Information (FlexRepeaterSpots).

Is there also a solution for Spots from DX Cluster in the SmartSDR screen?

Yes! From section 30 of the Software User's Guide:

I use ACLog from N3FJP to post spots on my SmartSDR screen.

Hi Len

Thanks again.

"Some of these programs include Logger32"

How do Logger32 communicate withe SmartSDR?

I believe that Logger32 is on the list of compatible logging programs.

They would use the Flex API. Check the Logger32 documentation to see how to set it up.
