I haven't used the FlexControl in a while. Been doing JT modes.
Went to do some cw and couldn't remember how to get it to light up. LOL
Plug it in and it lights up but then the lights go out....like I am...

what are the step to activate it please.

    Going from memory, you have to install SSDR, use it at least once, THEN CLOSE SSDR and plug the FlexControl into a USB port.  Then you can fire up SSDR.  NOTE THAT the FlexControl may not work in ALL of your USB ports.  I've found one USB port that it works in, so I stick with that one.  Recently it has been working consistently.  Originally it wasn't consistent, and I'd have to unplug it and plug it back in.

    Note ALSO that I also use DogParkSDR, and the Flex Control works just fine with that app!
