PowerSDR ke9ns Flex-5000 RX2 SO2R WSJT-X configuration example.

Please select at least 1080p resolution when playing this video.

This video is an example of how to configure the Flex-5000 with 2nd Receiver (RX2) and PowerSDR ke9ns v2.8.0.210 for SO2R operation (Single Operator 2 Radios).

The video is 2 HD monitors wide (thats 3840 x 1080) so its best to watch it 4K res, or pull the window across 2 monitors in HD. Sorry for the low audio level.

SO2R conditions:
(1) Flex-5000 with 2 independent receivers and 3 Antenna ports (full duplex capable, but both RX shut off during transmit in this example)
(1) Logging program
(2) Instances of WSJT-X (both running FT8 for simplicity)
(2) Separate bands. (20m and 40m)
(2) Separate Antennas. (TA-33Jr and G5RV)

Technically you could run PowerSDR and keep the Receivers running (full duplex) during transmit, but only if you have contest style external band filters to prevent signal overload, or your running with antennas and bands far enough apart to prevent overload.

Actually..... See my 2.8.0.213 video where I show the Flex-5000 running SO2R with full duplex
