When driven by a FLEX‐6000 Series transceiver, the tuner can be keyed over the radio's LAN connection, which
automatically manages all transmit delays and other details. This option is strongly recommended. However,
you can use a PTT signal wire connected to the appropriate RCA PTT Input on the tuner back panel. Wired PTT
connections require a twenty millisecond (20ms) TX delay in each Transmit profile that uses the Tuner Genius
XL. Select the desired keying source in the PTT Source box on the configuration screen for each radio.
When the same FLEX‐6000 transceiver is connected to both Tuner Genius XL ports (A and B), you must select
the same serial number for both Port A and B sections on the configuration screen. This configuration enables
advanced Single Operator Two Radio (SO2R) operations using a single transceiver and tuner.

Click the Save button to record the configuration in the tuner. The Tuner Genius XL tuner is now configured for
use by the FLEX‐6000 Series transceiver. Please proceed to section 6.5, Testing.
! – Do not connect another transceiver via RS‐232 (CAT), CI‐V, or BCD to the same tuner Port configured for a
FlexRadio transceiver.
i – Do not connect a PTT line when interfacing with a FLEX‐6000 transceiver. Unless some advanced need
requires a separate PTT signaling wire, LAN signaling is all you need.
i – The LAN integration of the Tuner Genius XL tuner is supported in SmartSDR Version 2.0 and later versions.
It is not supported in SmartSDR Version 1.
i – The tuner will reset when save is pressed.
