Software

Anybody have knowledge of a software digital voice keyer that can be used with the MB1. Also how to interface it. I've tried N1MM and K9DUR keyer for SDR but without success.

Do you want to use audio macroses?
For it should be used CAT system for PTT and frequency control and Virtual Audio Cables for transfering audio from N1MM to ExpertSDR2.
Please clarify.

yes macros - from N1MM or other DVK software

I cannot save 'Don't Save Drive by Band or Mode' in ExpertSDR2. It always returns as checked even though I uncheck it and save the Profile.

This is now fixed - thank you.

This is a test version of the software ExpertSDR2 for MB1.

Link: ExpertSDR2 1.1.3 RC5 MB1

The information about new functions and fixes from RC4(was not published) and RC5 versions.

Main changes:
RIT/XIT bug fixes
Bug fixed in the CAT system, which can freeze ExpertSDR2 software
Into CAT system was added global volume control

Added RX ANT button
Added presets of audio mixer for RX1/RX2 switching to E-Coder panel functions
Added RX1/RX2 switching control to E-Coder panel with auto audio mute in other RX.

MB1:
Improved equalizer in RX and TX modes
Improved CW keying via COM-ports
Fixed bug with PA switch(always worked in TUNE mode)
Improved SWR protection function
Fixed bug in PWR and T.PWR functions

How the RX ANT button works:
The RX ANT button switches on the antenna port with RX antenna, which was chosed in the menu. You can not set antenna port as RX ONLY if this port is used for TX mode.

The audio mixer presets description:
If you uses two independent receivers RX1 and RX2 in SO2R mode or in other applications and you want to listen only RX1, or only RX2, or both receiver but in the different channels(left/right), you can use new functions. You can set these functions in the E-Coder panel.
1. Both RXes with the same audio level in left and right channels;
2. Listen only RX1;
3. Listen only RX2;
4. Listen RX1 in left channel, and RX2 in right channel;
5. Listen RX1 in right channel, and RX2 in left channel;

The new version of the ExpertSDR2 software for the MB1 transceiver.

Link: ExpertSDR2 1.1.3 RC6 MB1

Main changes:
RIT/XIT bug fixes
VAC level the same as mic.
RF gain saving per mode
AF saving per mode
S-meter readings corrected on 6M
All non-worked controls after using shows the message: This funcrion will be available soon.

Warning to anyone installing RC6: this version has a serious initial setting fault. After installing, turn off the radio in the software. For every band and each of the 3 frequency presets, adjust down the volume. Do not have the radio on because all volume levels start up at 100% and if, like me, you happen to have been wearing headphones, it is extremely painful. After making the adjustments, your settings are saved and the radio can be used normally.

The ExpertSDR2 1.1.3 RC6 version was updated - VOX spladders was fixed.
The volume level (AF Gain = -20dB) was decreased to -20dB for those who install it first time. If you already installed RC6 version, the volume will be the same as saved by you.
The link the same as in my previous message.
