How can I connect a FlexRadio SDR rig using PowerSDR and Virtual COM?
Virtual COM Port software allows VQLog to be Used on the same PC than PowerSDR without cables. This eliminates external CAT control wiring by creating a software connection between PowerSDR and VQlog. PowerSDR software emulates the Kenwood CAT command set in its basic compatibility mode, which means that VQlog “thinks” it’s talking to a Kenwood TS-2000 rig. VQLog’s CAT configuration window should look something like this (obviusly the COM port could be different depending on your configuration): A very good article covering the use of the SDR-1000 for weak signal operation and how to use it with VQLog is available at FlexRadio WEB site.
