Set up the Flex-Radio Flex-5000A and MixW Software to do “Feld Hell,” the most common variety of Hellschreiber.

If you are not familiar with Hellschreiber, I’ve done a post explaining this interesting mode.  You can find it at:

REPOST: Hellschreiber – The Modern/Historic Analog/Digital Mode

Again I have much more to configure, but the basic setup is sound!

Took a few minutes (would be quicker if I read the directions) to set up the Flex-5000A to use MixW and a neat internal interface called “VAC” (Virtual Audio cables) to set up the Flex-5000A for Digital Mode.

Here is a screen shot:

I’ve a ways to go to make this all work as I would like it to.

BTW with the speed of the new machine it looks like all my logs could be merged.  I had avoided this on the old XP Box as it was easily overwhelmed whenever my logfile got big.

For details on the setup using MixW and VAC see the Knowledge Base and Manuals at Flex-Radio.

Peter Viscarola, K1PGV has created a collection of really useful add-ons for the popular MixW Digital Software Package.

MIXWBUDDY

MixW Buddy Screen Shot

MixWBuddy is a really neat set of Mode-Macros with an optional five user configurable Macro Buttons.

MIXW BUTTONS

MixW Buttons Screen Shot

MixWButtons is a fully user configurable table of User Macros, offering up to 100 additional Macros for MixW.  Please notice these User Macros can control modes, just like MixW Buddy, but do require you to program in the script.

MIXW CALLBOOK DLL

MixW Callbook DLL is an interface to either a paid QRZ.com Callbook subscription or with the public pages.

Peter has created these under Microsoft’s .NET environment, so you will need to have that facility available & running on your machine.

In each case MixW is started first, then the K1PGV add-on.

I’ve covered my use of MixW in past posts, including:

Developed onver a 15 year period by Nick Fedoseev UT2UZ and later with Denis Nechitailov UU9JDR, MixW is a Digital Mode, CAT, Rotor Control, Logging, Digital Contesting program with a world wide following.

I’ve been using MixW for several years and have added to the basic MixW several additional modes, macros and Icons.  It also exchanges data with the N4PY CAT software package I run.
