Added my FlexRadio 6600-M to DXLabs

I have been using DXLabs for my log for years (after giving up on HDR for
many reasons).Â* My Elecraft K3s was the first radio that I was using (I
love its full break-in on CW).Â* My Yaesu FTDX-101MP followed quickly
(fairly typical COM port setup).Â* But I never added in my FlexRadio 6600M
until today.

The process turned out to be very simple and completely documented in Daves
excellent Wiki.Â* I just made sure to start SDR running, then followed the
instructions.Â* Within a couple of minutes, I was connected.

I immediately noted that the sensitivity of the Flex dropped like another
radio had been added (and in fact, thats what happened).Â* I shut down SDR
(killing the panadapter on the PC screen) and everything was back to
normal.Â* After that point I didnt have to restart SDR, even as I started
and stopped DXLabs.
