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¶
- Click
Settings > multiFLEX...to open the multiFLEX Dashboard. - Look at the Stations table. Each row is one connected station.
- Read the TX ANT column for the antenna that station is transmitting on.
- Read the TX FREQ (MHz) column for that station's transmit frequency in MHz, shown to three decimal places.
- 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), and Disconnect button. |
| 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. If station name is the same as program name, only the program name is shown. If both are empty, displays client 0x{HANDLE}. |
| 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. |
| Disconnect button | Disconnects the corresponding client from multiFLEX. The button turns yellow after clicking to indicate pending disconnection, then returns to normal once the radio confirms the disconnection. This button is disabled for your own station. |
| Enable | Enables or disables multiFLEX on the radio. |
| Enable (PTT) | Toggles local PTT authority for this station. |
| 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. - The dialog remembers its size and position between sessions.
- After clicking the Disconnect button for a client, the button turns yellow until the radio confirms the disconnection. If the client remains in the table, the button returns to normal, allowing you to retry if needed.
