Device.” The FLEX-1500 CPU will communicate via USB for both control and streaming baseband data with the host CPU running the PowerSDR software. The CPU in the FLEX-1500 has control of all switching, signal routing, frequency generation via the DDS, FlexWire port, audio amplifier, as well as audio and baseband routing, CODEC. When asked which driver to install you probably want the objfre one, it does not have the debugging stuff the checked one does After rebooting look in device manger, under multiple port serial adapters, it should show N8VB's vCom driver without any red or yellow decorations. Tell HRD to use one of the ports, tell SDR to use the other. VAC is able to do this because it is a kernel mode Windows device driver that emulates a sound card. NOTE: VAC is a third-party software program and is not directly supported by FlexRadio Systems. FlexRadio Systems recommends its use with PowerSDR to facilitate digital audio transfer (DAX) between other third-party sound card programs. If it is not listed, run the procedure below to manually install it, otherwise go th the Virtual Serial port service not running section below. 2.) Manually Install the FlexVSP driver. For 64-bit operating systems: Open the Windows File Explorer, go to the C:Program FilesFlexRadio SystemsFlexVSP folder. Double click 'FlexVSPInstaller64.msi' file. Follow the defaults and agree to all the questions. Software defined radios have arrived, and FlexRadio is leading the charge. We are on a mission to change commercial and amateur radio.

Maybe the documentation exists, but it isn't biting me on the nose.
Here's the deal:
1. I downloaded the 114 build.
2. I clicked on install.bat (seemed the likely thing to try -- no
readme, so I guessed).
3. It started off with all the usual warnings about unsigned drivers.
4. Then, it asked for vCom.sys. This took me aback. Why should I be
asked about this?
5. There were two of them I found rummaging around. One was in a
directory that commenced with the unobvious name of objckk_wxp_x86 and
the other with the equally meaningless to me name of objfre_wxp_x86.
But, they had the file in them.
6. I attempted to install one. After I selected it, the install
appeared to complete. Rebooted. Ham Radio Deluxe failed to open it.
The reason seemed clear enough. Windows' device manager complained it
was missing necessary files to load the driver. It did seem to have
installed the file I selected.
7. Uninstalled the driver from Device Manager display.
8. Installed the other one.
9. Same messages.
I have a relatively vanilla XP Home system. I have it configured for
the defaults (COM4, it appears) and that's 'clear' on my system, as I
have only COM1 and COM2 in terms of physical hardware. Nothing but COM1
shows up as a port as far as Windows is concerned.
What am I doing wrong? Where's the documentation I missed so I didn't
have to do so much guessing? I saw no readme and nothing on Phil's page
that was helpful for this.
