SmartSDR CAT and Ham Radio Deluxe

in SmartSDR CAT
I am running SmartSDR (v 3.8.19) on a Flex 8400 and use SmartSDR CAT to interface the radio to Ham Radio Deluxe. After all software has been launched, communication between the radio and HRD works fine. This makes me believe all configurations are correct. However, upon switching bands on the 8400, communication between the radio and HRD stops. Shutting down SmartSDR CAT and re-starting it will re-enable communication.

I am using a Dell Vostro running windows 11.

Previously I configured HRD with a Flex 5000 using a third party virtual serial port program with no problems.

Any help is appreciated.

    Hi John, I would submit a help desk ticket.

    I did. Tim Ellison responded quickly. The answer was that Flex could not solve a problem with third party software. He suspected the problem was with HRD and also noted that this problem had not not been reported by another Flex user. Len, thanks for your suggestion.
