It allows you to "modularize" your radio system by being able to send CAT

Strangely enough I switched to VSP this weekend as well. Very well done
and easy to set up. I add my praise to VSP Manager and to Steve for a job
well done.

I recently switched to VSP manager (for use with my SDR-1000) from
vComm.
VSP Manager works perfectly and is a great asset to the amateur radio
community. We owe a debt of gratitude to K5FR for writing this program
and procuring the OEM license from Eltima. Really good stuff.

This is why you should start using VSP Manager. You can't inadvertently use a
physical com port when defining your port pairs.

Not exactly. There is a TX button in the VFO boxes that allows you to switch
the TX.
In split, VFO-B is just another frequency using the same antenna port
configuration as RX1/TX. In SO2R mode with the RX2, TX port "moved" to the RX2
"configuration" which is assigned to a different ANT port.
Ed,
Thanks for you kind words and you comments about the audio. Actually, I let
the Flex do most of the heavy lifting in the audio department and unlike a
lot of setups, don't employ racks of audio gear. I use a Motu mk3
Ultralite bus mixer because of the flexibility it provides as a matrix bu
Carl,
Actually, if you turn split on with RX2 installed, you have the option of
transmitting on the VFO B frequency (the RX2 frequency), or you can transmit
on a second frequency set on VFO A.

RJ,
This might be obvious, but does your new computer have physical COM ports
that use the same COM ports that you defined in N8VBvCom? I find myself
falling into these "obvious" traps way too often.

Isn't the transmit VFO either VFO A or VFO B depending on whether or not
SPLIT is on? I guess I assumed the RX2 followed VFO B and with split on
that meant you transmitted on the RX2 frequency and with split off that
meant you transmitted on the RX1 frequency.

The current functionality does not allow the radio to select an antenna output
and amp relay based on VFO focus. As a result, you cannot drive two amps.

All the discussion of antenna switching with the Flex 5K and PowerSDR,
there is a Knowledge Center article discussing this in block diagram.

Yes Dudley, that will work. What I was trying to nail down is that this is
the only way it can be done at present. This is not what I would consider to
be a "single box SO2R". I guess I would think that meant a Flex with two RXs

Mark and Rudy,
What if you use the PWR speaker output, Left and Right, and pan each
receiver to Left and Right? You will have to use the computer sound card
for at least one side, fed to a separate instance of the end
application with different sound card settings, one for VAC and one to
Well, you can do it sans VAC if you want to split the stereo output from
headphones or the powered speaker output using a physical interface. My
reference was related to VAC which has no way to do this.

This is in respect to the audio routing architecture in PowerSDR itself and has

Thanks Tim. Looks like I might be able to use two versions of MMTTY to copy

It is stereo for the source. There is no facilities to output AF from RX1 and

Mark,
Keep us posted! If this works, then we only have to deal with the antenna
switching logic and will have a true SO2R solution in a box. Then I will no
longer be on the fence and buy a F5K instead of a pair of K3s :-)

Maybe Rudy. That's what I'm trying to figure out. Can the RX1 and RX2 audio
channels be separated and routed to two different destinations using VAC?
If it can then I have no problem.
There is a "Stereo" check box in the VAC setup panel. Not sure exactly what
can be put into each channel.
VAC is just a "sound card" so it is inherently stereo. The concern (I think
and i haven't checked it) but I don't think the line out of PowerSDR is
stereo. Only the speaker/headphone outputs are stereo if I remember
correctly. Tim. am I wrong?

Mark,
Is the VAC output stereo? If so, what do you get in the L and R channels
respectively? If you can get RX1 in one channel and RX2 in the other, N1MM
logger will have no problem feeding the two MMTTY instances. MMTTY needs only
one channel.

I'm not pushing for a resolution, I'm just exposing the logical complexity of

Thank you very much for monitoring this discussion and soliciting the

There is very little that needs to be done, IMHO, in order to make the F5K a
