Gerald,
Thank you very much for monitoring this discussion and soliciting the
community's feedback.
There is very little that needs to be done, IMHO, in order to make the F5K a
killer SO2R combination. The required changes I believe are strictly in
software.
First, let's define SO2R for the
The other thing that is lacking for external program control of SO2R are a few
CAT commands specific to triplex operation
In the transceiver environment there is basically a VFOA and a VFOB, but in the
triplex environment there is also a VFOC, the TX VFO. What is needed is a CAT
command that
The point I was trying to make in my initial post is that there is no way to
get RX1 audio to Demod #1 and RX2 audio to Demod #2 using VAC. I was
thinking about keeping everything internal - that is to say using only my
5000A and computer. No extra wires or sound interfaces.
Actually I wasn't
CAT commands are only accessible extensions of the software program get/set
properties, when/if Flex adds the properties, I will be more than happy to
add the CAT commands to expose them. Bear in mind that programming
resources are finite, for each enhancement moved to the top of the list,
I'm not pushing for a resolution, I'm just exposing the logical complexity of
having 3 independent VFO processes all the time active as far as data traffic
management from an external program goes.

Mark,
Is the VAC output stereo? If so, what do you get in the L and R channels
respectively? If you can get RX1 in one channel and RX2 in the other, N1MM
logger will have no problem feeding the two MMTTY instances. MMTTY needs only
one channel.

VAC is just a sound card so it is inherently stereo. The concern (I think
and i haven't checked it) but I don't think the line out of PowerSDR is
stereo. Only the speaker/headphone outputs are stereo if I remember
correctly. Tim. am I wrong?

Maybe Rudy. That's what I'm trying to figure out. Can the RX1 and RX2 audio
channels be separated and routed to two different destinations using VAC?
If it can then I have no problem.
There is a Stereo check box in the VAC setup panel. Not sure exactly what
can be put into each channel.
Mark,
Keep us posted! If this works, then we only have to deal with the antenna
switching logic and will have a true SO2R solution in a box. Then I will no
longer be on the fence and buy a F5K instead of a pair of K3s :-)

It is stereo for the source. There is no facilities to output AF from RX1 and
RX2 ant the same time in PowerSDR. From what I understand of the DI
architecture, this will not be a limitation in the future

Thanks Tim. Looks like I might be able to use two versions of MMTTY to copy
the same signal from the same antenna but not the same (or different)
signals from different antennas. I would hope that this capability is added
to the DI project as you suggest.
Rudy, looks like this answers the
This is in respect to the audio routing architecture in PowerSDR itself and has
nothing to do with I/O ports - virtual or physical.

Well, you can do it sans VAC if you want to split the stereo output from
headphones or the powered speaker output using a physical interface. My
reference was related to VAC which has no way to do this.

Mark and Rudy,
What if you use the PWR speaker output, Left and Right, and pan each
receiver to Left and Right? You will have to use the computer sound card
for at least one side, fed to a separate instance of the end
application with different sound card settings, one for VAC and one to
Yes Dudley, that will work. What I was trying to nail down is that this is
the only way it can be done at present. This is not what I would consider to
be a single box SO2R. I guess I would think that meant a Flex with two RXs
and a computer with no additional sound cards, wiring, or external
All the discussion of antenna switching with the Flex 5K and PowerSDR,

The current functionality does not allow the radio to select an antenna output
and amp relay based on VFO focus. As a result, you cannot drive two amps.

SPLIT is on? I guess I assumed the RX2 followed VFO B and with split on
that meant you transmitted on the RX2 frequency and with split off that
meant you transmitted on the RX1 frequency.

This might be obvious, but does your new computer have physical COM ports
that use the same COM ports that you defined in N8VBvCom? I find myself
falling into these obvious traps way too often.

Actually, if you turn split on with RX2 installed, you have the option of
transmitting on the VFO B frequency (the RX2 frequency), or you can transmit
on a second frequency set on VFO A.

VSP Manager works perfectly and is a great asset to the amateur radio

VSP Manager Advantages:
1.) It works really well
2.) It has signed x64 drivers
3.) During initial configuration, it defines the port pairs faster
