Good morning, all! I received my FlexControl via FedEx yesterday and, of course, immediately connected it. I first removed VSPmgr and assured all the virtual ports were gone, then connected the FC and it grabbed COM7, as I expected it to do. I did a reinstall of 2.2.2 so that I could tick the

I would think that if Neal couldn't fix it, nobody can. So, I am a little hesitant to jump in here as I am far from being a guru. Nevertheless, I did get my Flex Control working after having some VSP issues, so I will give it a try. I didn't have the same symptom you did but I did have problems

Personally I would start by using Process Explorer from SysInternals to drill down to the offending CPU hog. You can then look at handles and hooks in use to see where you have a bottleneck. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/default AutoRuns is also excellent for looking at

Also, Process Explorer (Sysinternals again) will allow you to do a snapshot of all activity. Just make sure you remove all Filters before doing this. Run it for 15 mins and then you can view it offline on another machine. It will show you all registry, file, process and network activity

Another thought check base addresses and IRQ's for the Physical Serials default is 2f8 and 3f8 irq 3 and 4 (in the days when you had the option to change them!) . Perhaps a quick test to disable those ports in the BIOS and see if that makes the virtual ones any more responsive. --

Frank, That definitely sounds like RF feedback. The most likely culprit is the firewire cable. I had the same issue running my amp with my FLEX-5000A. First, make certain that your PC is connected to the shack ground. After all, it is better than half of the radio. If you are using the stock
