Check which antenna and frequency each TX station is using

The multiFLEX Dashboard shows the TX antenna and TX frequency for every station currently sharing the FLEX-8600. Use this when you need to confirm that other operators on the radio are not conflicting with your intended operating frequency or antenna.

Before you start

  • AetherSDR must be connected to the radio.
  • multiFLEX must be enabled on the radio. If the Stations table is empty or the feature is not active, see Enable multiFLEX on the radio.

Steps

  1. Click Settings > multiFLEX... to open the multiFLEX Dashboard.
  2. Look at the Stations table. Each row is one connected station.
  3. Read the TX ANT column for the antenna that station is transmitting on.
  4. Read the TX FREQ (MHz) column for that station's transmit frequency in MHz, shown to three decimal places.
  5. Click Close when finished.

What each control does

Control Description
Stations table Lists every connected multiFLEX client. Columns: LOCAL PTT, STATION, TX ANT, TX FREQ (MHz).
LOCAL PTT column Shows a check mark for the station that currently holds PTT authority.
STATION column Shows the program name and station name for each client. Your own station is highlighted in blue.
TX ANT column Shows the antenna assigned to that station's TX slice. Displays ---- if no data is available yet.
TX FREQ (MHz) column Shows the transmit frequency in MHz to three decimal places. Displays ---- if no data is available yet.
Close Closes the dialog.

Tips

  • The table refreshes automatically when any client's status changes. You do not need to reopen the dialog to see updated values.
  • Your own station's row is distinguished by blue text in the STATION column.
  • TX ANT and TX FREQ values come from the radio's slice status. If a station has just connected, those columns may briefly show ---- until the radio reports slice data.
