    I think as Tim mention you likely have hardware problem. once you connect your antenna to the antenna port there really is nothing to configure. It is not likely to be serviced in the field.

    Thanks again!
    Do you know/remember if it concerns people who have no link at all between the Flex and the computer?

    If you're receiving on the XVTR port, it would seem to me that the most likely causes of your problem are either a failure of the protection diode, as mentioned earlier, or perhaps even more likely, a simple mechanical failure of the primary antenna jack or it's connection to the PC board.  Have you not opened the radio to check for that?

    Hello Rick, I think you're right, it can also be a mechanical problem. Haven't checked that yet, you all gave me to much ideas about the possible problem :-) I'll try to give a look to it tonight...

    There will be times when you run the software and it will not work. This happens for one reason or another. Shut it down and cycle power to the rig. Sometimes it requires a reboot of the computer to solve it. This is normal.

    I can't ever having trouble wit PSDR in this way, the pesistance has been great. It sounds like you may need to re install PSDR. I know you probably have done that,,but may do it again. Something is not working right. All settings should remember

    Ben in the pictures you posted show you have an unsupported sound card selected this is causing your audio issues. Many have the issue with win 10 with sound card drivers.

    Wayne,
    the 2nd picture (Unsupported card) was coming from the manual.
    I posted it to compare with my Setup>Audio>Primary (1st pic)

    Yes, right.

    Don't know what can be wrong here?
    By the way, "Mute all" has no effect at all...

    Yes Wayne, you're right.
    Havent' tried yet because my antenna is on RVXR so, of course, it can't be on Pa port at the same time. (but TX is stucked on PA port)
    And I don't know what this test is really doing. If it tests TX too, that's a bad point...
