Apologies for the original post, the reflector made a mess of it. Here is a
plain text version that hopefully will be better.

In this release:

- Added SO2V support  (SO2R tab) [requires PSDR 1.19.4 or later]

Big News for the contesters. You can now use your Flex-5000, when equipped
with a 2nd receiver, as SO2V (single op 2 VFOs) in the contests. Thanks to
Lee Crocker (W9OY) who offered the encouragement and defined the functions
and controls to make this work. Oh, and did I mention a large amount of
tolerance on his part.

This new feature allows a huge amount of control of the radio, amplifier(s)
and antenna selections. Here is a few of the features:
The following settings will be automatically selected based on band used. 
• Control two (2) separate 1 of 10 antenna arrays one for each VFO/Amplifier
using parallel ports. Depending on the decoder used the number of antennas
can be as many as sixteen (16) per decoder. 

• Band switch up to two amplifiers via BCD data output to the parallel
port(s). 

• Selects the proper PSDR drive setting for each amplifier by band. 

• Selects both receive (Rx 1/2) and transmit antenna ports on the radio for
each VFO by band. 

• Selects PTT via TX control lines based on VFO selection by band. 

• Select transmit VFO via PSDR console OR external switch connected to a
designated serial port. 

• Rx2 is automatically started when SO2R is enabled. 

• N1MM and DXLab contest/logging programs directly supported. 

*  As an extra tidbit there will be a new Tuning Knob available soon that
will solve the focus problems when using N1MM and will also give operators a
new freedom and method of tuning the radio. The prototype hardware is
working  well and DDUtil integration is underway.

Please read the documentation thoroughly as this can be a confusing feature
till understood.
