I've read that the startup procedure is Flex first then the computer, what is the reason for that procedure? Thank you.

Hi Peter, I think that the proper sequence is Flex first, then SmartSDR. The computer can already be on. The reason for this is so that SmartSDR has a radio to connect to. If you start SamrtSDR before the solid green light comes on the radio, you get a message that it could not find a Flex radio.
