Running here PSDR V 2.2.3 with Flex 5000. The only time I occasionally hear some type of peak distortion or muddy-type distortion on 75 meters is when listening to strong AM signals operating class E type rigs. I don't hear on it on broadcast AM, commercial SW AM, or amateurs running current

Based on your detailed description of your issue, it looks like the FlexControl drivers didn't load properly or there is a com port conflict, but some further troubleshooting activities will be needed to confirm this assumption. Please submit a support ticket via our HelpDesk
