[Skimmertalk] CW Skimmer with Flex 1500 and virtual ports?

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

This means that Virtual Audio Cable is not configured to stream 48 or 96
kHz audio in a format compatible with CW Skimmer.  Be sure to check *all* of
the VAC settings for Virtual Audio Cable 2 to make sure that they comply
with the values recommended by the Flex knowledge base.

I recommend sending a screen shot of your VAC configuration / status to
other Flex users so that they can compare it with their VAC setup.  To
capture a screen shot to the Windows clipboard, press Alt+PrintScreen to *
Copy*, then *Paste* the captured image into your email program or into
Windows Paint.

73,
Bob, N6TV
