How do I disable multiFlex?

Options
Member ✭✭
in SmartSDR for Maestro and M models

I use a 6400M. Have been using it standalone, but thought I would connect it to a laptop with SmartSDR just to see how that works. All was well until I activated multiFlex, and then things got confusing. Now, I can't seem to disable multiFlex. The multiFlex menu in the radio has no option for turning it off and I don't see any options for turning it off in the laptop interface. I am using Smart SDR v 3.2.39 with a Windows computer.

    Tap menu then Radio. Tap Switch Versions. It will disconnect from the radio and go to the version chooser screen.

    Maybe you could describe what is confusing? I have a 6600M with 3.2.39 on it. If I have the front panel disconnected and run SSDR to the radio, it acts as if there is one GUI connected. If I have no SSDR connected, and have the front panel connected, it acts like one GUI, no confusion at all.

    If, of course, you connect both the front panel GUI and SSDR, you are running multiFlex.

    As a summary for MultiFlex:

    The radio is a radio server that will allow you to share the radio with 2 clients. A client being

    • SmartSDR for PC
    • SmartSDR for MAC
    • SmartSDR for iOS
    • DogPark SDR

    Dave mentioned on how to disconnect the front panel how there is no requirement to do so as there.

    I hope that helps

    Hello everyone, if possible, I want help, I have just upgraded from a Flex 6700 to a 6600M, recent used, with smartlink, multiflex

    I would like not to use smartlink, and to have as on the 6700 the commands on the desktop, to have if it is possible on the maestro, at least the change of the frequency, which is now blocked.

    Currently, only the desktop commands work, the maestro does not follow.

    is it possible to make the change as above

    I did a factory reset, nothing changed, I tried to follow the procedure in the user manual, which explains how to go to the smartlink, but not go back.

    who can help me if possible with screenshot

    Have a good day

    Hi Janny, put your front panel into SmartControl mode. This will allow the front panel to track with SmartSDR.

    Here is a link to the documentation. Look in Section 9:

    Post back here if you have any problems with this.

    Hello len,

    , I followed the instructions in section 9, perfect, there is still one problem, how to make the "smart control mode" window disappear to have the spectrum.

    Thank you for your help

    Hi Janny, in SmartControl, you do not get the panadapter or waterfall on the front panel/Maestro. I suspect this is to keep the network bandwidth reasonable.

  • Member ✭✭✭✭

    To go back to the Spectrum view, just hit Exit in the lower left of the screen. That will close SmartControl and let you get back to the main display ( you may have to select Operate again) .

    Hello James,

    if you use "exit" then "operate", you come back with the "smart control" window

    In my opinion, the 6600M is designed for remote control of another tx,

    For normal use in smart control, it is better to buy a 6600 without the "Maestro", incorporated, unnecessary expense, I would ultimately use it like a 6600 or 6700, my old flex, on my side I don't do remote control .

    Thank you for your help.

    Janny, I apologize, after you get to the window where you can select SmartControl there is the option to select RUN. Your current, installed, version of SmartSDR will be highlighted. Select, Run, and you will be back to the front panel itself. And, if you are still running SmartSDR on your pc, SmartControl will no longer function till you go back and select again.

    I find that sometimes, I like using SmartControl on my pc with SmartSDR. Other times, I just like using my 6600M standalone with no pc involved. For me, that makes the M model radios more versatile without having to add additional hardware like the Maestro. It's all about having options.

    Thanks James,

    If I understand correctly it is impossible to operate the smart control of the PC (panadaptor) and that of the Maestro at the same time.

    I continue to use the mouse as I always have.

    Thanks a lot for your help
