l the use of the FlexControl each time 6500 is turned off

edited June 2020 in SmartSDR for Windows
each time I turn off the 6500 after a couple hours of operation I loose the function of the FlexControl Tuning device. Only way to get it to function again is delete SmartSDR firmware from my computer , then reload the firmware. It will then allow the FlexControl knob to work until I turn off the rig. Ive tried every possible turn off & turn on sequence ...nothing works!! what is wrong?

    Have you tried unplugging the FlexControl from the PC and reconnecting it before starting SmartSDR? Also, if you have PowerSDR or DDUtil running those programs can capture the FlexControl too.

    Also, if you are using DDUtil, you must tell it what port number Windows has assigned to the Flex Control Knob. check it via Windows control panel.

    I found that if Flex Control is not connecte to a dedicated USB port, it will get confused by other software that has nothing to do with SmartSDR. Blame this on Microsoft's enumerating algorithm.
