EXTERNAL CONTROL FOR FLEXRADIO 6300
It seems that the way you go about this sort of thing is to use a very popular 3rd-Party piece of software called FRstack which virtually every Flex owner will be aware of. FRstack (V3) allows you to assign tasks/events (even multiples with tailored delays in-between) to StreamDeck Buttons.
I should point out straight away though that if you assign certain keyboard characters to a button (such as SpaceBar=PTT), you will end up keying your mic everytime you press the spacebar whether you want to or not (as long as FRstack is running). So it's better to avoid doing that, except maybe the F1-F12 Function keys.
Some of Erik's profile worked and some of it didn't. The errors were no doubt due to differences in either our ownership of software or their file paths - who knows? So as it stood, I couldn't make use of Erik's profile BUT it was incredibly helpful in letting me understand the command syntax. The video below by David Deccons was also helpful...
After an hour or so I managed to start a new profile and create an initial layout of my own. Needless to say, it's not perfect and I plan to spend a lot more time refining it, but at least I feel like I've made some good progress tonight.
One good little tip I learned was that it's easy to see a button in someone else's profile (eg EI4KF's), copy it and then switch profiles from the drop-down and go to your own profile and paste the button. It will bring across the icon, the text and the actions. You can then tailor them accordingly. Saves you a bunch of time!
At the weekend I'll try new things and I'll reorganise the button layout after spending time using the SteamDeck with the radio. I already feel like I don't need half of the screens. I might end up creating a separate simple single or double screen profile with JUST the very common button presses that I find myself doing all the time.
Back soon!
UPDATE :
After all that messing around, I soon realised that multiple presses of the StreamDeck screen took up more time than just moving the mouse and clicking!
So I chose the functions that I change most frequently and put them on the front screen. There's a second screen with other software which gets me launching apps quickly.
KISS huh? I can see this front panel changing pretty frequently as I start to use it and discover what I like and don't like.
