Steven,
This is my setup with N8VB vCom :

PowerSDR setup/CAT Control :
Enable CAT checked - Port : COM8
PTT Control checked
Port COM9 with RTS and DTR checked.

DM780/Program Options/PTT tab
PTT Via Serial (COM) port checked
COM Port 19 selected with RTS and DTR checked

Some actions initiated from HRD/Logbook are very slow. Make this test : in PowerSDR Setup/General/Options, check Always on Top. That will permit to see what happen on PowerSDR when you click on one of the buttons of the radio pane of the logbook. Try the Bin button by example. It takes 4 seconds before being activated on the Flex.

Uncheck Always on Top, if you don't want. to keep it that way.

Some days ago, I spoke with Bob, K5KDN, designer of the CAT commands about this problem. He did not see anything wrong.

Help me out here.
I might be on the wrong path here, but I thought if you set CAT control in the 
CAT control TAB of Power SDR, the PTT field did nothing, maybe got that wrong.

So how do I set HRD to use CAT to control the radio, which I don't use much, and to use PTT in addition to the CAT TX command, in HRD that is. CAT is now on Com 6 which is COM 16 using VCOM, so COM 7 would be COM17. How do I configure HRD to use the separate PTT command interface? I do notice some strangeness in HRD V5.0 when it comes to overall speed of response. There is a fair amount of lag which might be associated with polling the Flex over the CAT interface (?).

Using HRD v5.0 with com0com and VAC on SDR-1000 here. So, the delay on PTT is not an issue for the SDR-1000 only. The problem is not in the FlexRadio hard- or software.

Simply use two Virtual Com ports for HRD-DM780. One Vcom port for CAT control between PowerSDR and the second Vcom port for PTT control configuration in DM780. No delay at all on PTT if configured this way.

I took the plunge and updated my version 4.0 HRD to version 5.0 and wanted to see if anyone else running a Flex has done so and what sort of problems they are having.

Problems I have encountered so far:

Long delay going into and out of Transmit HRD Bug was already open, so I added a bit more for the Flex 3000 in use here.

I had a Blue Screen of Death before using an earlier version, current one is 2277.

Have not entirely figured out the setup for waterfall settings, tricks and tips appreciated.

Olivia operation seems to be somewhat improved, worked a ZL on 20 the other night with a s/n of around -2 who was running Fldigi, which has been slightly problematic in the past.

So anyone else running Version 5 of HRD?
