Dave, Currently there is only one way to get band data from either Flex radio and that is via CAT. The hooks to do direct band decoding are in the FLEX5000 (FlexWire) but have not yet been implemented. Many of the logger programs like N1MM and HRD have decoders built in that will talk to a

2007-10-11 Thread Bob Tracy
Art, I'm not sure what you mean by procedure for using HRD with the F5K. Possibly the confusion may be that there is no F5K selection on the CAT tab (I plan to change that to FlexRadio instead of model numbers) so just select SDR-1000 and follow the virtual port setup found in the Knowledge Base.
