The new PowerSDR 2.0.19 RC1 seems to be quite good. It is the most completely-working version I have seen. I can't find anything broken in it with my limited usage. I have been running it for several days now with no glitches. My caveats are: I don't run CW and I don't usually run Phone so I

Mike, You wrote, But can't you do this simply with VFO B, without an RX2? On the other bands, yes, but not on 40m. MultiRX allows you to listen to 2 frequencies within the range of the panadapter, a maximum of about 80 kHz at a sampling rate of 192 kHz a zoom factor of 1x, or about 160 kHz

There has been a lot of hoopla about CW on the Flex radios. Frankly, they didn't work very well on CW for many people. This made me very interested in how the new version would work given how much emphasis has been put on CW lately. I have both a Flex 5000a (RX2 and ATU, no VU5K) and a Flex 1500
