[amsat-bb] VAC and WIN10 upgrades

[Jeff]

Hi Alan. I don't recall ever having any Win10 issues with SmartSDR or
PowerSDR using DAX except recently when I installed the update for the v3.x
s/w that I tried to install here last May and had to go back to v2.xx
because of SmartSDR crashes. I did notice that when I installed the v3.x
update I had to redo the DAX configuration, no big deal. I did take a Win10
update a few days ago and there were no issues with DAX afterwards...

Some background first. Flex Radio uses a version of Virtual Audio Cable
(VAC) called DAX with their current rigs. In the past, almost every WIN10
upgrade trashed the DAX installation which then needed to be laboriously
manually repaired. Recently, that issue has been reported resolved. 

Has anybody had any issues with WIN10 upgrades with general VAC installed,
especially recently? I have heard of one case, but not recently. I know
there are some other equivalent packages, but for operational reasons need
to stick with VAC.
