    Here is a good reason to use the FlexRepeaterSpots utility in a contest.

    With all those stations just south of 28.300, it is very easy for a US ham to go down there without thinking about it. I put a band edge marker in FlexRepeaterSpots to help remind me not to go there in the heat of battle. Here is the Config.ini entry that I used:

    Spot: freq=28.300 name=SSB_Band_Edge mode=LSB SpotColor=RED SpotBackColor=YELLOW

    FlexRepeaterSpots V1.11 is now available on GitHub:

    https://github.com/KD0RC/FlexRepeaterSpots/releases/tag/FlexRepeaterSpots_V1.11 

        // ***********************************************************************
    
    // V1.11
    
    // Added ability to use as many slices as the radio will support.
    
    // ***********************************************************************

    I didn't realize just how much I rely on FLexRepeaterSpots in everyday operation. I had four slices open on 2 meters so that I could compare coverage and latency of a set of linked repeaters. Slices C and D did not get their options set when I clicked the repeater spots. I really had to think about what was wrong when it dawned on me that I hard-coded two slices for my 6400. Now that I have an 8600, I have a way to test for more slices.

    This update should work with however many slices a radio has, so it should be good to go for 6700 users.

    If you upgrade to this version, you will need to uninstall the previous version first. Use the Windows Settings, Apps screen to do the uninstall. Do not delete anything manually.

    FlexRepeaterSpots V1.13 is now available on GitHub:

    https://github.com/KD0RC/FlexRepeaterSpots/releases/tag/FlexRepeaterSpots_V1.13 

        // ***********************************************************************
    
    // V1.13
    
    // Upgraded so it will compile under Visual Studio 2022.
    
    // Upgraded FlexLib to V 4.x.
    
    // ***********************************************************************
    
    // V1.12 (not released separately)
    
    // Fixed bug where slice index got lost causing app to crash.
    
    // Added ability to select which radio to connect to.
    
    // ***********************************************************************

    New this time is the ability to select the radio that you want, or just specify ANY and it will connect to the first radio it finds. If you have multiple radios on the same LAN, this new feature is indispensable. If not, you can leave it at the default of "ANY".

    FlexRepeaterSpots V1.14 is now available on GitHub:

    https://github.com/KD0RC/FlexRepeaterSpots/releases/tag/FlexRepeaterSpots_V1.14 

        // ***********************************************************************
    
    // V1.14
    
    // Fixed MultiFlex issue where the correct active slice was not being set.
    
    // ***********************************************************************

    My new 8600 is showing me bugs in my code that I never saw before… The problem is that a rig with more than two slices can have different slice indices on each GUI client in a MultiFlex situation. I found the problem when slices 0, 1 and 3 were on one GUI client (SmartSDR) and slice 2 was on the other GUI client.

    Slices 0 and 2 were set as the active slice (one active slice on each client). As long as I used slice 0 or 1, I got the desired results. As soon as I switched slice 3 to active, it actually changed slice 2 on the other client, as it was the first active slice that it found.

    In any event, it is all sorted out and working for me. Please let me know if you have any issues with the new version.

    If you upgrade to this version, you will need to uninstall the previous version first. Use the Windows Settings, Apps screen to do the uninstall. Do not delete anything manually.
