    I am a CAP communicator and the Flex is not listed on compliant radios. Is the Flex 6600M approved?

    Who does the approving?

    And, if we are not on the list, what do we need to do to get on it?

    (have them email us at info@flexradio.com and we will work with them)

    BTW, we sell a LOT of radios for MARS / CAP operators.

    Yes they work fine, There are MARS members whom have built custom Profiles for both Voice and Digital at the same time using 2 slices, Very Slick setup.

    For CAP operations the radio has to be compliant with federal NTIA (Redbook) standards for frequency stability and bandwidth. However, the standards also require that the radio have fixed (not user accessible) programming for frequency (channelized) and all other performance parameters.

    Hi John

    If that is the case, then no amateur radio has locked down fixed channels and your only choice is commercial HF radio equipment.

    All Amateur HF radio equipment is VFO tunable with memory channels.

    If you have a Stream Deck, you can set up a multi-action switch to toggle the slice mode between USB to DIGU. This way you can do everything on one slice.
