Even if I was no longer interested in development, it is open source so anyone can continue to develop/extend it. vCOM is not used only for Flex/PowerSDR. There are many other uses beyond Ham hobby applications and I know of one gps device manufacturer who uses it 24/7 in their test system. The is also a weather station application that uses vCOM with no reports of problems. I get more downloads of vCOM from those other users than for Flex/PowerSDR. I am glad that you found a solution that works for you. Those who do have problems with PowerSDR and third party apps will have an alternative.
