RCP Redirect

The RCP Redirect function allows Flex 6000 users the ability to re-assign other Radio Slices B' - 'H (per radio ability) for four of the 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 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 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 RCP ports (RCPs 3,4,5,6 only).
• Open the Cat port configuration section of the selected RCP and connect the other end of the port pair that was connected to DDUtil in the above step.
• Verify the 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 RCP you setup above.
• The frequency of the RCP should change to agree with the new slice frequency.
