How to have one radio track another?

Member ✭✭✭
I have a remote 6300 that is accessed over SmartLink. I have a 6500 at home. They are 25 miles apart. The home 6500 can hear the remote 6300.
I want to be able to monitor the remote radio with the radio at home. It would really help if I could get the radio at home to track the frequency of the remote radio.
SmartSDR CAT won't let me read frequency from the remote radio and send it to the home radio. Is there some way to do this? MultiFLEX won't do it?

dxlabs commander does such..also omnirig does it. I use dxlab´s commander to sync :
a FTDX101D at home, the Flex6400 at the clubstation and an sdrplay connected to the FTDX
All are in sync beautifully.

Start SSDR twice on your PC and each can control a Flex0

How do you do this with the Flex? I use DXLab Commander. I have SmartSDR Cat running on the home computer linked to the remote 6300. Commander sees the frequency of the 6300. How does that get sent to the 6500 at home?0
-
Not my question. I am using SmartSDR on the Computer for the home radio and my Maestro is running the remote 6300. I can run both. My Question - How do I get the home radio to follow the frequency of the remote radio and keep them in SYNC?0
-
As Chris wites, you need 2 instances of SSDR and attach the 6500 to radio 1 and the 6300 to radio 2 , then set radio 2 to follow and control radio 1
( by the way.. Chris.. Hallo Nachbar... )0 -
Please be specific. How do you set radio 2 to follow and control radio 1? Are you running two instances of SmartSDR CAT? Do you set Commander's secondary serial port to CAT?0
-
Sorry to hijack the question - but how do you run two instances of SSDR on a single PC? I cant get it to install twice as you can't choose the destination directory. What have I missed?0
-
@Steve Bunting - you can do it if you have two different FLEX-6000s. Each instance needs to connect to a separate radio.1
-
@tim-w4tme Yes I have two radios. Are there some instructions on how to do it, or is this for V3 only (I am still on V2). This may be *the* reason to upgrade!

This feature is known as multiFlex and yes, it is a feature exclusive to SmartSDR v3 and above.0

Can you respond to my original question about syncing frequency on 2 flex radios?
0 -
Sure. There isn't a way to do that with SmartSDR. There may be some third-party apps that use the SmartSDR API to monitor frequency changes on a "parent" radio and make the same frequency change on a "****" radio, but I have not used anything like that before.0
