How to ......rdxcluster and flex 1500

[KB2HUK]

Hello all , I am trying to use a great in my opinion dx cluster software program called  RDXcluster .  I want to use this with my flex 1500 .  I have the flex 1500 loaded and working good and I have the RDXcluster software loaded and installed .  They will both work at the same time now I also am using omnirig software so that when everything is running I can see a spot on RDXcluster double click on frequency and omni rig should take my flex 1500 to that freq. How ever If I double click on the freq. I want the flex does not go there .  Is there someone out there who has specific info on how to use these together ?  How about a good place to find info on this set up .  thanks for your help in advance .

Do you have DDUtil running to direct the CAT commands?  (Some folk mention using other programs like OmniRig, but I've not done so personally.)  It appears that RDXcluster might look to a middle program to transport the CAT commands.  Documentation is pretty sparse....

Here is a RDXclunster link http://www.mdxc.org/swl/art-rdxcluster.php

Hi John!

I also have used RDXCluster with my flex 3000. It is an excellent program! I am using OmniRig and have the PSDR software CAT info set for Power SDR. In OmniRig I choose PSDR as the radio at 57600 baud. It works fine. You can also set it up as a Kenwood TS-2000. Question...when you use RDXCluster and PSDR, does your screen blink every few seconds?

RDXCluster looks pretty good. I'll have to give it a try. I've been using the HRD Logbook module with MiniDeluxe to do the same thing.
