Slice Master 6000 is a lightweight, purpose-built utility published by K1DBO that extends the native slice-receiver management capabilities of FlexRadio’s 6000-series software-defined radios. Designed for contesters, DXers, and power users who run multiple slice receivers simultaneously, the program surfaces extra on-screen controls that are not present in SmartSDR, allowing each slice to be muted, soloed, re-ordered, or rapidly switched between headphone channels without opening nested menus. Version 0.11.0g, the first public release, installs as a stand-alone Windows executable that automatically discovers any 6000-series radio on the local network and overlays its compact control bar on top of SmartSDR or pop-out slice windows. The interface is fully synchronized with the radio’s state, so changes made from the rig or from SmartSDR are instantly reflected in Slice Master 6000 and vice-versa, eliminating the risk of stale settings during fast contest exchanges. Typical use cases include isolating a weak DX station on one slice while keeping a second slice open for pile-up callers, quickly silencing all but the active slice during a net, or re-assigning audio outputs to different headphones when operating multi-op. Because the utility only sends standard TCP/API commands, it adds no measurable latency or CPU load to the radio or the host PC. The software is categorized under Communications/Radio Utilities and is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
