    Guido,

    Please post or send to me the screenshots of the SmartSDR CAT window, your device manager window, and the WKFlex config window.

    This means that some other application is already connected to COM 11.

  • On the device manager I see only my arduino UNO and the 2 Flex ports, I tried also with a MEGA on a other port , but the same error
  • On the smartCAT window I see right of the W "Serial: COM11" but missing Process WKFlex as in the manual
  • Problem resolved! **** error of mine, mixed up the two com ports.
    Thank you Max for quick helping
