xDAX and xCAT with SmartSDR 2.0

Yesterday FlexRadio released SmartSDR 2.0. I just wanted to inform that xDAX and xCAT were only tested with SmartSDR 1.x. They might work with 2.0 on the local network they might not.. Being on a holiday trip at the moment without computer and only limited internet (writing this on my Smartphone) I have no way to check if it works or what has changed. I don't even know if and when I will upgrade myself. So be aware that you might have to make a decision between 2.0 and using xCAT/xDAX for now..

Thanks and 73

DAX and CAT applications now available for macOS

Hi there,

since I’ve got my Flex-6300 last year I missed an equivalent for SmartCAT and SmartDAX on macOS. Using Dougs (K3TZR) TCP/IP API framework for accessing the FlexRadio 6000 series on macOS I have written these tools for myself and want to share them with the community.

The apps are called xDAX and xCAT and you can find them in image files (.dmg) here:

xDAX.dmg

xCAT.dmg

The image files include a short PDF document which should help you in setting up and using these applications. Please read these documents to learn about the differences to the equivalent apps for Windows and if they will help you in your operating style and environment.

If you want to have a look at the PDFs without downloading and opening the image files you can access them here:

xDAX.pdf

xCAT.pdf

The applications need macOS 10.10 (Yosemite) or higher.

I hope you’ll find them usefull...
