SmartSDR 3.8.19 showing incorrect RX antenna?

in SmartSDR for Windows

I was waiting for 10 meters to open up a bit here so opened panadapter B to listen to 40 meters on my antenna 2. Is it not possible to use antenna 1 on the A panadapter and antenna 2 on the B panadapter?

When I switch A to antenna 1, B shows antenna 1, but must be using antenna 2.

SmartSDR 3.8.19 on and 8400.

    On the FLEX-8400 the Antenna Switch on the back of the radio is exactly that and it only allows you to use 1 antenna at one time in either RX or TX. This is because the FLEX-x400 only has a 1 SCU (Spectral Capture Unit). This is why you are seeing the both RX antennas be the same.

    In order to use 2 different antennas for RX at the same time, you would need a FLEX-6700, 6600, 8600 as they have to SCUs. It is one of the differentiating features between the 2 different model types.
