xCAT v2.0 and xDAX v2.0 have been released

Mario, DL3LSM, has released version 2.0 of xCAT and version 2.0 of xDAX with support for SmartSDR version 2.4.9 and later. If you are running an older version of SmartSDR, do not upgrade from xCAT or xDAX v1.0.

xDAX is a helper application for the FlexRadioTM 6000 series running on macOS (10.11 and higher). It’s purpose is to provide a way for Digital Mode Software (Fldigi, WSJT-X) to access the digital audio data (DAX) of the FlexRadioTM which is transferred via the Network. From version 0.8.1 xDAX supports SmartSDR version 2.0 locally or via VPN. From version 1.0 on remote operation via SmartLink is also supported.

xCAT is a helper application for the FlexRadioTM 6000 series running on macOS (10.11 and higher). It’s purpose is to provide a way for other applications to control a FlexRadioTM 6000 series by using legacy CAT commands vie a TCP connection. xCat then translates these commands into native Flex commands using the TCP/IP API. From version 0.8.1 xCAT supports SmartSDR version 2.0 locally or via VPN. From version 1.0 on remote operation via SmartLink is also supported.
