[Flexradio] Flex 5000
I just installed new console,firmware and firewire driver. Main receiver works as normal. 2nd Receiver comes up on the screen but no signals present. I have in the ant menu the rx1 tap checked. Firmware 1.2.1.10. Before installation of new software and firmware all worked as normal. What am I missing? Thanks for the help in advance.

Re: [Flexradio] Announcing an important new firmware/driver/PowerSDRrelease
One clarification: The new PowerSDR release is v1.14.0. The second reference to PowerSDR v1.12.2 is an error.

While there are a number of performance and feature improvements contained in this release, I would like to point out a few of the most important ones: 1. Improved CW keying (FLEX-5000 only) - We have incorporated an enhanced debounce algorithm in the firmware that eliminates key bounce problems incurred when using some types of paddles, including the Begali. Our beta testers report excellent results at very high keying rates using all of the reported problem paddles. 2. Lower latency and CPU loading (FLEX-5000 only) - The new firmware and drivers result in lower latency for all operating modes. We have also seen a significant reduction in CPU loading, which means that the software will perform better on lower end machines than in the past. With the lower CPU loading, we have found that more aggressive buffer and driver mode settings have been possible further reducing latency. 3. Vista 64-bit support (FLEX-5000 only) - The new drivers support 64-bit Vista but we consider this capability to be in Beta test. Since we have had limited testing in this area, we would appreciate direct feedback from customers who can test this configuration. 4. New driver interface with built in DPC monitor (FLEX-5000 only) - The user interface and setup automation for the FLEX-5000 has been improved. A built in DPC monitor is now included, which helps in isolating latency problems caused by other devices and/or software found on an individual PC configuration. 5. New display modes (FLEX-5000 & SDR-1000) - We have added PanaFall and PanaScope modes that allow the Panadapter over Waterfall and Panadapater over Oscilloscope with a single receiver. 6. Automated local EEPROM backup (FLEX-5000 only) - PowerSDR will now create a backup of the radio's EEPROM calibration data to the working directory the first time the software is loaded. 7. SO2R transmit frequency selection controls (FLEX-5000 only) - Controls have been added on the VFOA and VFOB to allow simple switching of the transmit frequency when RX2 is installed. 8. Simplified "Default" TX Profile settings (FLEX-5000 & SDR-1000) - We now provide two standard default settings for voice modes, which are optimized for normal voice communications and DX operations respectively.

Re: [Flexradio] Using MMTTY and APRS with two Sound Cards(HELP)
I use direct cables for everything - had major problems with VAC in the beginning, decided to just wire them up directly. I ran cables between the cards, replacing VAC. Works for me (and better performance than VAC).
