Whichever headset you get, make sure the mic element is (1) dynamic to prevent

It is great to reminisce a bit, many of us old farts live in the past
a bit, myself included, but not all FLEX owners are engineers, as this

then FlexRadio is courting a very narrow portion of the folks engaged

Great news. Will it be possible for a second instance of Skimmer to

like Skimmer now does with RX1?
I am guessing this would probably require a separate CAT channel for RX2.

Here is why I am in need of separate VAC channels for both RX1 and RX2.
My EME array consists two arrays, a horizontal and a vertical array.
Two separate coax cables are routed to the receivers RX1 and RX2. Two

These need

ALSO: If WSJT doesn't allow selection of L/R audio channels, just
plug in another cheap sound card and split the L/R audio from the

No, PowerSDR 1.6.x earlier uses .NET v1.1. However, not to worry -- .NET
