Many of us use DDUTIL to determine what band the 5000 is on and send out a BCD code to a parallel port interfaced to the bandswitch on our amp. If your amp can be controlled from a BCD ttl signal, you can use DDUTIL in this way after making up a cable. Jerry W4UK At 03:33 PM 5/31/2012, you

Jerry: Thanks; No parallel port, and no BCD. The THP amps expect a Yeasu/Icom or Kenwood to control, so the FLEX will need to emulate one of those interfaces. Lester B Veenstra  MØYCM K1YCM/8 les...@veenstras.com m0...@veenstras.com k1...@veenstras.com US Postal Address: PSC 45 Box 781 APO AE

If you are not willing to use an intermediate control program, then NO - you probably can't control it. But others have probably used your amp with Flex - check the archives. BTW, you can buy a plug-in card to provide both serial and parallel ports in most desktop computers. GL Jerry W4UK

DDUtil will emulate the Kenwood protocol to a RS-232 port if you have one. That's what I use. Chuck ONeal K1KW - Original Message - From: Lester Veenstra les...@veenstras.com To: 'Jerry Flanders' jefland...@comcast.net Cc: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2012 3:42

Hi Lester, I am sure that DDUTIL can be used for running the Amp as I have seen it as one of the options under the amp tab if I remember correrctly. It WILL also run the ICOM interface at least for the AT-Auto antenna tuner which I run here using the ICOM CI-V interface using a CHEEP Radio Shack

Lester,You will definitely want DDutil between the Flex and your THP amp. In addition to auto band control, you will probably want DDutil's Autodrive functionality. The 5K does not use voltage control ALC, which is not necessarily a bad thing. DDutil can set the 5K power level by band, so
