Flex - Please update instructions
It would be really nice if the folks at Flex would undertake updating instructions for things like setting up WSJT/FT*, and other setup instructions for various other 3rd party software products to something released this decade.
I am growing tired of attempting to use their instructions when the version of the software (theirs and 3rd party) are not only versions behind and buy YEARS behind. NOthing goes with the latest version or is even close.
With radios run by computers setups are not the easy thing in the world. It seems you are expected to have a Masters Degree in IT and Electrical engineering. Trying to read instructions that make quantum skips in "how-to" because we are expected to already know how to do something really comes off as the OM, "we don't want to deal with new Hams that did not grow up building radios and knowing CW from birth.
Give new guys a chance please and stop skipping steps that are crucial just because you know them in your sleep. And please try and updated the instructions that Flex posts to a version released in the current decade.
Let's not make things so hard that people give up and lose interest.

Actually, a number of us here on the forum have published various 'how to' manuals for setting up our Flex's with various 3rd party software packages.
Instead of waiting for/expecting Flex to update these kind of instructions, we can always just do it ourselves, right?

Hi All
The good news is that sound card modes for things like WSJT, JTDX, RTTY have about the exact same setup.
- RX audio
- TX audio
- CAT control which includes PTT
You may have missed a number of videos regarding it.

These instructions for setting up WSJT-X were just updated 4 months ago:

Darn, I should have remembered that. Thanks Ken!
