View source for RCP Redirect

The '''RCP Re-direct''' function allows '''Flex 6000''' users the ability to re-assign other Radio Slices '''B' - 'H''' (per radio ability) for four of the [[Glossary#Radio_Control_Program|'''RCP''']] ports (3,4,5,6). This re-direction has the following properties/restrictions.

==Restrictions==
* Only works for the '''F6000''' radios.
* Only the '''Kenwood''' radio type is supported. Other radio types '''CAT''' commands are not recognized.
* Only '''VFO A''' is supported.
* '''Split''' operation '''IS NOT''' supported for re-assigned slices. Slice '''TX''' must be selected manually on the '''SmartSDR GUI'''.

==Properties==
* '''Frequency''' and '''Mode''' may be assigned by the [[Glossary#Radio_Control_Program|'''RCP''']] software.
** Double-clicking a '''Telnet Spot''' entry will '''QSY''' the re-assigned slice's frequency and set it's mode.
** Changing frequency and/or mode in an [[Glossary#Radio_Control_Program|'''RCP''']] program will adjust the slice accordingly.

==Use==
* In '''DDUtil''' (Ports Tab | RCPs group), connect one end of a '''Virtual Serial Port''' pair to one of the [[Glossary#Radio_Control_Program|'''RCP''']] ports (RCPs 3,4,5,6 only).
* Open the Cat port configuration section of the selected [[Glossary#Radio_Control_Program|'''RCP''']] and connect the other end of the port pair that was connected to '''DDUtil''' in the above step.
* Verify the [[Glossary#Radio_Control_Program|'''RCP''']] is following the radio.
* In '''DDUtil''' (Ports Tab | RCP ReDirect group) find the matching drop-down box and select the radio slice you would like to use for the [[Glossary#Radio_Control_Program|'''RCP''']] you setup above.
* The frequency of the [[Glossary#Radio_Control_Program|'''RCP''']] should change to agree with the new slice frequency.
