This update is the best its like a futuristic software development . The 3D Panadapter signal scope makes vertical waterfalls look boring , The 3D signal view is like Augmented Reality eye candy on the big screens. I can see the weakest signals . Mind blowing capabilities for on screen customization ,the list of good things is almost endless , It all comes together & looks sweet on a big screen and runs smooth stable and super super fast when portable on laptop or my old home desktop computers . Always Great updates Thanks for sharing your software development skills with us all . KE9NS 73 from down under.

I use Darrin's terrific software with my Flex 3000. Absolutely an excellent adaptation and implementation with great support from Darrin. Well done! Best 73, Robert VE7ZN
For those that still prefer hard copy manual prints, I’m still the authorized (since 2008) printer and distributor of all the legacy Power SDR Flex Radio operating and service manuals in full color. Darrin also gave me authorization to print the manual he generated up to V2.8.0.92 in full color and this manual is always included with the legacy Flex Power SDR operating manuals. Beyond V2.8.0.92, I also include all of Darrin’s Revision Notes in full color up to the present date. And...I'm also an active PowerSDR user. Been running a Flex 5000 for the last 12 years.
Sure wish you could tweak this to work with the IC-7610 and IC-7300...I know I'd use it. HDSDR is good for what it is. I tried SDRPlay but didn't really like it. I used a modified version of PowerSDR with my Yaesu FT-950 and LP-Pan adapter and I liked that application.
I have been using a Flex 5000A for many years and I have been with Darrin and his EXCELLENT free software and upgrades since 2016. I cannot find a better combination of hardware, software, visuals, and performance anywhere for any price up to and including for 3x the price. Thanks Darrin for everything. I almost feel guilty when I download an update for free, so I send him a donation every so often. I hope others do as well.
I almost forgot.... I have videos on YouTube showing all the features in operation. There are links on my webpage, but if you want to see them all, search YouTube using my name: Darrin Kohn And make sure to view them in 1080 Thank you all for the positive response! 73 Darrin ke9ns
WOW, So many thanks for doing that. I don't even have a Flex but I really do like your TOP NOTCH STATUS AS AN HAM!!!
