Flex 6600M and Writelog.

Mike. · May 2021

I am acquiring a Flex 6600M and have some queries about using it for SO2R. I will connect it to my PC (running W/L ver. 12.58 with Flex drivers installed) via ethernet cable. If I open up one instance of W/L on the PC will it accept logging from both Flex receivers and will the QSO numbers be individual to each receiver or will they be sequential? That would be my preference. If I cannot set it up like that how do I need to set it up for SO2R logging with W/L?
Will W/L log the QSO frequency from each radio?
See my current SO2R setup @ QRZ.Com.
Thanks for reading, Mike, WM5DX.

Hi Mike,

It should work. I tested a 6700 for WL SO2R two years ago and made a write up on this forum. I beleive it is a Flex documnt as well.

However, you might be forced to use the PC SmartSDR version. If I recall correctly WL will assign slice A +B for radio A and slice C+D for radio B. This cannot be accomplished in the Maestro.

Hi Mike, I found these two documents essential in getting Writelog to work SO2R with my Flex 6600.

How to Integrate Writelog for SO2R with FLEX-6700

I got it working for SO2R, and did a couple contests, but it is incompatible with my remote setup, so I don't SO2R very often. I don't have a Maestro, I use SSDR on Windows PC.
