Congratulations on the achievement.

I would use the latest release candidate from Flex. It will update
your BIOS at install time if needed.
The Flex 1500 is my first SDR. It is absolutely amazing.

In general terms might it be better to use a separate USB interface card
for a Flex 1500 system to insure the radio has a hub all to itself?

Have you done any evaluation or tests with the free Microsoft Security

it seems to be kinder to a couple of older XP machines we have at home

trols multiple products is a big
undertaking. Each evolution requires retesting on every platform. Fixing
a bug present on one model can break something on another. Then you fix
that problem. Then you retest on all. Each program feature you support
makes the test longer.

In my experience as a co-moderator of some other mailing lists ARRL
addresses just seem to be problematic. Second only to yahoo.com
addresses. The ARRL contracts out that work and it seems every few
months the contractor really stumbles. Perhaps as they have employee
turnover, etc.
