FlexRadio

FlexRadio

When the CAT backend is a FlexRadio (SmartSDR), OpsLog shows a full SmartSDR-style control panel (as a Main-view pane or the FlexRadio tab). It talks the radio's TCP API directly and streams live meters over UDP (VITA-49).

Slices (multi-slice)

FlexRadios can run several receiver slices (A/B/C/D…). OpsLog shows every in-use slice as a row of buttons under the header:

• Click a slice to make it the active slice — the main frequency, mode, DSP and spot-clicks all follow it.
• Click a slice's TX badge to move the transmitter onto it.
• Split is detected only when the TX slice and a same-band RX slice form a genuine split; independent slices on other bands are not shown as split.

Everything you do targets the active slice, so a second slice monitoring another band never hijacks your main frequency.

Header

Model + RX/TX state, plus compact PA voltage and PA temperature readouts (temperature turns amber/red as it climbs).

Transmit

RF power, tune power, TUNE, MOX, SPLIT, speech processor (NOR / DX / DX+), VOX (+ level + delay), monitor (+ level), mic gain, TX filter low/high cut, and the mic profile selector. On CW the panel switches to keyer controls (speed / pitch / break-in / sidetone / filter).

Receive (active slice)

RX/TX antenna, AGC mode + threshold, audio level, and the noise/notch filters: NB, WNB (wideband noise blanker), NR, ANF, and APF on CW — each a toggle plus level. Filter-width presets per mode.

Amplifier (PowerGenius XL)

If a PowerGenius XL is detected, its OPERATE / STANDBY, fan mode and fault show in an Amplifier card, with the amp's FWD / ID / TEMP meters inline. See Amplifiers and Switches.

Meters

Live UDP meters under the slices: S-meter (S-units, click → fill RST), forward power (W), SWR, mic level (−40…+10 dB, red = overdrive) and compression. PA voltage and temperature are in the header.

Antennas and power, per band

Configure Flex RX/TX antennas per band (Settings → FlexRadio), and a power level with them. OpsLog applies the antennas when the band changes, and the power when the band or the mode changes — leave a power box empty and it does not touch the power for that band.

RIT and XIT

RIT shifts your receive frequency only; XIT shifts your transmit frequency only. Mouse wheel, the plus/minus buttons or the arrow keys adjust them, with Ctrl for 100 Hz steps, and the offset is remembered when you switch one off.

Chasing the pile-up from the panadapter

When the CW skimmer writes a report on the panadapter — 599, 5NN, whatever your skimmer sends — that is where the DX was listening a second ago. RST chase moves your transmit frequency there in one click. The receiver never moves.

The marker text is configurable, and several can be given, comma-separated; add the old-report marker to chase those too. Right-click the marker to change it. It works on a FlexRadio and on a TCI radio.
