Antennas change on Maestro

in Maestro

I have an 8600 with 2 Q5 transverters. I typically have my Maestro next to me with 2 slices open, one usually monitoring 146.520 and the other monitoring one of the local repeaters. I have noticed that if I have the 8600 running on my PC at the same time and select diversity reception (any band) that the antenna selection on the Maestro will change to what the PC has selected. I have noticed this in the past and is still the same with V4.1.5. Shouldn't the Maestro be completely independent of the PC?

    Not necessarily. If the Maestro and PC are each looking at antenna ports on different SCU's, then changing one will not affect the other.

    if the Maestro and PC are both looking at an antenna port on the same SCU, then changing one will change the other.

    Thanks Len. Maybe a dumb question but how do I select a different SCU for one of them?

    XVTA and RXA are attached to SCU0 and XVTB and RXB are attached to SCU1.

    ANT1 and ANT2 will use either SCU0 or 1 based if one is free or not.

    But, it is working as designed with what you are doing.
