Hi All

Over the past few weeks, I have created the following YouTube videos.  Some of these are for new users and some for our experienced users, like the DAX and CAT one.

Personally, I think our CAT Software is an industry game changer.   Unlike other HF radios, you are not stuck with just 1 RS232 port for your programs to access the radios band and frequency data.   Couple that with the CAT data that is available right out of the back of the radio.

If you find these useful, please let us know.

    Please update the Works With Flex video.  A lot has happened since Dec 2018. There are some new apps and hardware that work with Flex that greatly extend the functionality of the radio and enhances the user experience.  Stream Deck and Touch Portal integration with FRStack and FRLogger makes touch control panels possible.  This is a game changer !

    Good morning Mike, Finally got time to look at all of the videos. Really great for those folks who are able to do these things. I was surprised at the one titled Networking a Flex 6000 Series Radio because it is exactly as I have it running Win 7 and SSDR 2.4.9. See no reason to upgrade.
    The only reason I have SSDR on board is so that I can use the Flex Control and Mouse to run around the big monitor. Have tried several items with in SSDR and all failed. OH Well.

    Hello again Mike. found the video on updating  under maintenance Updates. Anyway that is exactly what I need to do, go from 2.4.9 to 2.5.**** etc. I would guess that the same procedure is used to update from 2.5.**** to 2.6.****. if this all works out I may upgrade to V3.xxxx in the future.
    TNX Andy

    Hi Andy

    Unlike other software programs, you can move from any version to any version.  Each version is treated like its own program.
