Totally agreed. Issues with Win 10 are, in my IT experience, usually user created problems. Yes port assignments can change, even by replugging a usb port. To me this is of little bother, unless I was removing, then would need remote access to correct which isn't that difficult. Bill

Is there an ATU involved? If so , the TX signal and RX signal are then common to the path through the ATU. I don't think the RX signal goes through the 100W PA. Also consider the antenna port switching. That is common to both RX and TX signal paths. Bob, K4TAX Sent from my iPhone > On
