Run Flex 5000a and Flex-6300 at same time?

Burch Akin

I ordered a Flex-6300 and plan to use it on HF and 6 meters.  I currently have a Flex-5000a with the VHF/UHF board and also run a 1296 transverter.  I am assuming that I can run the 5000a and the 6300 at the same time on the same computer since one is firewire and the other ethernet.  Is this the case?  I was able to do this with the 5000 and the 1500 as long as I opened the 1500 first (USB vs Fireware).  I'd like to be able to run them both during the June VHF contest (6 meters on 6300 and 2 meters and up on 5000a).

Why not? Different hardware and different software! But needs a powerful computer and graphic board.

Won't be on the same bands.  One radio on HF/6 meters and the other on the VHF/UHF bands.   Used to run 2 instances of PowerSDR with the 5000 and 1500 running at the same time.  Never had any issues with graphics or computer speed.

Yes, no problem.  I do it all the time when testing the FLEX-6000.
