Alan, I believe someone just very recently here on our list mentioned a
software program that is blind user friendly that can be used to control
several different types of radios, and when I inquired about it, I found out
that it can also be used to control the Flex 6000 series of radios. I'll try
to find that information and send it to you.

Bob, would this success have any application for the Flex 6700?  I'd love to
have one of the 6700's and be able to actually use it.

Hi,

I finally got my SDR dongle working with HDSDR software.  I had a lot of
trouble getting the drivers to work with the dongle and then I didn't find
out until last night that I was entering the frequency wrong.

The SDR $18 receiver is not very sensitive, but it works and I can pick up
our local repeaters, the weather service and airport ground info.  I haven't
tried the down converter yet, but I wanted to let you know that HDSDR
software can be used as there are keyboard commands that are referenced in
the help file right in the software.
