I was incorrect in my statement below saying there is only only way to get band data is via CAT. This is currently true on the FLEX5000 series but the SDR-1000 can ship band data out via the X2 connector. Thanks to Ray, K9DUR, for pointing out my error.

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 parallel port for doing antenna switching. Interfacing with these programs using vCom (or other) virtual serial ports and the CAT module in PowerSDR should provide you with the control you need to switch your (green with envy :>)) antenna farm. Let me know if I can provide more info on the CAT system. 73, Bob K5KDN -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dave Blaschke Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2007 12:13 PM To: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Band data output from SDR-5000 I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my SDR-5000. As I wait, I continue studying the manual. Here is my dilemma: I operate all HF bands as well as 6 and 2. On every radio I have owned, I demanded an output from that which would let me get the band data. I have always built the required interface to allow that band data to switch the rig to the correct antenna for the chosen band. Each band here has its own antenna here at my QTH. I do not see this capability with the SDR-5000; am I missing something? I would appreciate input if I'm missing this.
