New to Log4OM with Flex 6600 no VFO connection..

[n2jxl]

All,

I have narrowed my choice of logging software between N3FPJ's Amateur Call Log and Log4OM.. I really like L4OM interface and its features, but I simply cannot get a VFO (or both) to work via Hamlib..
I am using Log4OM 2 v2.30, SmartSDR v3.5.9, and the latest Slicemaster. I have tried replacing the Hamlib (C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Log4OM2\hamlib) binaries with 4.5.5 and the latest 4.6, but no joy..

I can get the VFO to periodically display a large "0.000", but I've not been able to make VFO's work without Omnirig (I'd really like to not use yet another piece of "glue-ware")..

Does anyone have a concise, definitive configuration that works with a Flex 6600?
N3FPJ just works.. I'd really like to use Log4OM, but this issue may force me elsewhere..

Guidance is much appreciated!

I got rid of my Flexradios so cant test but as far as I recall I used the network connection in Hamlib for CAT control, perhaps a current Flex user can advise

Steve,

There is a lot of information using Flex and Log4OM starting on Page 210 of the "current" User Guide.

Dunno if that information will address your questions specifically, but take a look.

All,

I appreciate the responses to this thread, however I was not able to make LOG4OM run as consistently as I'd like with my Flex6600..
One in four executable starts resulted in some issue with CAT VFO control/status. When CAT was working, I was able to click on a bandmap SPOT and tune the Flex VFO, however I was unsuccessful in getting a selected Panadapter SPOT to populate the QSO input box. It's also a bit frustrating that I need both FRstack and Slicemaster running to make SPOTS and the VFO work when the Flex API, SmartCAT, and DAX are already natively available. It's just a tad more glue code than I like.

I really like the look and feel of LOG4OM, however it's just not Flex friendly.. Yet.
I'm going back to N3FJP for now, and when LOG4OM is a bit more Flex ready, I'll be there..

Hello,

SO SAD for me as well. I have been a Log4OM user for a few years now and like it ALOT.

I have had to move to the Flex Radio for remote operations. I am having the same issue as N2JXL.

So let me know when this logging software connects to Flex.

Thanks N2OG

I have a close friend KG8V in the US using a 6600 and Log4OM without issue on a daily basis and before I disposed of my Flex it worked 100% with Log4OM.

I assume that you have SmartCat correctly configured on the Flex program and are using the correct/original version of Omnirig by Alex which is 1.2, not the poor copy from the guy in Switzerland.

If operating your radio remotely seek advice from Flex as they provide that function.
