FlexRadio (SmartSDR)

Best for: FlexRadio 6000/8000 series running SmartSDR.

POTACAT connects to SmartSDR’s built-in CAT server over TCP. No additional software or cables needed.

  1. Add a new rig → select FlexRadio (SmartSDR)
  2. Choose your slice (A, B, C, or D)
  3. Save

SmartSDR exposes Kenwood-compatible CAT on TCP ports 5002–5005:

SlicePort
A5002
B5003
C5004
D5005

If SmartSDR is on a different computer, use IP Radio (TCP CAT) instead with the Flex’s IP address.
