FlexRadio recently released SmartSDR for Windows version 2.3.7 which, among other things, provides the capability to display spots on the SmartSDR Panadapter. To do so it must get the spotting data from somewhere. I am hoping to get the data from Logic 9. The documentation provided by FlexRadio (http://www.flexradio.com/downloads/spots-feature-description-pdf/) uses N1MM as the example. I am able to interface with my FlexRadio today to pass frequency, and other data, back and forth. Is there a similar way that Logic 9 can be configured so that spots from Logic 9 can be exported in such a way that my FlexRadio can receive these spots?

Dennis,
Thanks for your quick response. I'll try what you suggest. Meanwhile, someone in a FlexRadio forum suggested I pass on the following to you. FlexRadio has created an API to support this new spotting functionality. This, and other API's, can be found at http://www.flexradio.com...lexlib_api_v2-3-7-zip/. I noticed in the FlexLib folder a Spot.cs file that I assume is the appropriate API. I'm familiar with the function of API's but not the technical side and what is needed to put one in place. I would appreciate your thoughts as to whether this API is something that could be incorporated into Logic 9. If the Logic 9 user base includes more and more FlexRadio users, perhaps there are other API's FlexRadio has delivered that might make sense to include.

In response to your other question, I am using the Kenwood TS-2000 interface.

Dennis,
I was using the TS-2000 interface (#31) while running version 9.1.34. I upgraded to 9.1.36 and changed the radio to #54. I can "read" the frequency from the radio, however, when I try and transfer a frequency from the 'Spot Log' Logic shuts down. When I relaunch Logic 9 I need to rebuild the tables, not unexpected, but I get an error message saying one of the COM ports is no longer available. I'm still able to launch Logic because the message doesn't deal with a COM port I'm using with the radio. If I shut down Logic and SmartSDR, then relaunch both, the COM port error goes away. You are welcome to try it yourself remotely on my system if you would like. I also wonder if the FlexRadio API information I sent you might provide an improved way for you to integrate Logic 9 with FlexRadio's 6000 series radios.

Speaking of the API's, I'm glad to hear what FlexRadio has provided in those files is .NET and includes source code. That should certainly make life easier for you should you decide you want to better integrate Logic 9 with Flex radios. I'd certainly like to see Logic 9 better integrated with my Flex-6700, as I've used Logic for many years. I imagine there are many FlexRadio users who also use Logic 9 that would be willing to work with you to better integrate the two, if you would be interested.

Please ignore my comment about the frequency not being copies when manually making a log entry, it does copy the frequency but only from the "A slice", even though I may have been transmitting using a different "slice". Meaning, I may have multiple panadapters open, each with one (or more) "slices" from which I can listen and/or transmit. Each slice is labeled A, B, C, etc. up to H. Each model of FlexRadio can have a different maximum number of slices open at once. For example, the Flex 6300 can have 2 open at once (I think) while the Flex-6700 can have 8 open at once. Regardless, Logic 9 will only copy the frequency from the "A" slice regardless of which slice was actually used. Also, if operating split, only the frequency of the A slice is copied even though another slice is being used to transmit (or receive).
