In the CAT tab of the Setup menu, you can specify which protocol to use, set it for TS-2000 (although I doubt it would make any difference).
You run a cable between a physical com port (which is what you assign the CAT port to) to the Stationmaster box. Microham sells a cable for that, as well as provides a wiring diagram if you want to build your own. Once you set it up, you do not need to use DDUtil for peripheral control as the Stationmaster box does rotor control, Steppir antenna control, etc. Its a wonderful product albeit a bit pricey. 73 Neal On Sun, Nov 13, 2011 at 5:39 PM, Paul Delaney - K6HR < [email protected]> wrote: > > How do I "configure the Flex for external control using the TS-870 > emulation" as suggested below? > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Joe Subich, W4TV > To: Paul Delaney - K6HR > Sent: Sunday, November 13, 2011 1:36 PM > Subject: Re: Station Master With Flex5000 > > > > It is used when the Flex provides the Kenwood compatible interface > on a serial port.
