If you are reading this I will assume you are using (or considering using) a FlexRadio unit as your main HF Station. On these pages you will find useful information related to FlexRadio but mainly will be focusing on plugins for SmartSDR and the 6000 series FlexRadio units as well as links to other commonly asked and hopefully useful information. Also please check the Ham Links page as here you will find other, not FlexRadio specific software as well.
PLEASE NOTE: This information is for SmartSDR Software shipping with current FlexRadio units not for the older PowerSDR.
You can find further information on FlexRadios at my favorite support forum at: community.flexradio.com/flexradio
SmartSDR Plugins List (Updated July 2018)
Here is a current list with links for the SmartSDR Software (Which I know of):
- Bob Smeter - WoodBoxRadio
- FRStack - By MKCM Software
- DDUtil - By K5FR
- Morse Keyer 6K - By K9DUR
- RigSync - By W2RF / QRV Systems
- SDR Auto Center - By K9DUR
- SDR-Bridge - By W2RF / QRV Systems
- SDR Memory 6K - By K9DUR
- SDR Monitor - By K9DUR
- Slice Master - By K1DBO
- SWR Plotter 6K - By K9DUR
Furthermore, there are "Waveforms" from FlexRadio Systems for: FreeDV and Dstar. Dstar does require a piece of hardware from NW Digital Radio but you can purchase it from their site directly. Having said this, I recently found out there are issues with this products plugin and MAY not work with SmartSDR. I will investigate further shortly.
These waveforms install alonside the SmartSDR Software suite instead of having to launch them independently once installed, can be ran from the software. I am really hoping to see Yaesu Fusion as well as others supported in future versions as that would be a lot more useful around the San Francisco Bay Area.
