Jim, Could you connect to the ARI-500 using an RJ-45 cable for the Kenwood RX, TX & GND connections to a DB9 breakout (pic below) that connects to an FTDI USB Serial cable?

How was the cable programmed with SmarrtSDR, CAT or BIT cable?0
-
Now that SmartSDR is able to control external devices directly are there any plans to add Operate / Standby buttons for amp control to the SmartSDR interface ?
0 -
I would prefer a few macro-buttons so that no matter what amp you have, you can send the commands you want to out over the serial link. And, of course, be able to label the macro buttons with, say 5 or 6 characters.
Cheers !

the new FLEX AMP, SmartSDR will have I have heard0

None in the near future. The USB Cable feature is primarily designed for providing band data to the connected devices, not complete device control. There are some internal discussions about possibly providing a way for third-party hardware manufacturers a way to use the USB CAT interface for more advanced features.0

Seems like everyone is only talking about USB cables.
My question is; How is the rest of the release working? There were tons of changes other than the USB cable. Anybody found any problems with anything else?
I haven't upgraded yet because I was waiting on a status of the other changes.
Anybody?
