6600 Diversity weird behaviour

in SmartSDR for Windows
I have a yagi (ANT1) and and End Fed antenna (ANT2) on 40m, my purpose is to listen in Diversity mode to catch both DX and locals.

If I just open 1 panadapter on ANT1 and press DIV, the second slice does indeed appear, showing ANT2 in RX, but RX is muted: S meter down to 3 and RX is deaf.

After playing around, the only way to make it work is:
- open a second panadapter
- enable FDX
- tune 2nd panadapter to any band different than 40m
- select ANT2 on 2nd panadapter

Only in this setup I see the S meter going up in the second slice on panadapter 1 and do indeed hear the signals from the end fed in the right ear.

I rebooted the Flex remotely (through FRstack) a few times but I always get back to this situation; the only troubleshooting I was not able to do yet is turning the flex off / on as it's remote (not remote power on yet).

Any clues ?

I think to remember it working normally as I first tried DIV, I guess right now the software is in a weird state...

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
