HI Yuri, I have the SDC v190317 configured with two API toward the FLEX 8k6,
is it possible to "disable" the second API without launching\opening SDC ?
just by opening its config text file and deleting or putting a REMark on API2?

I have a doubt the the CAT of the FLEX does not like 2 APIs setup and therefore
the FLEX_CAT does not open its program.
Therefore I have to reinstall the whole installer by FLEX if I want Flex_CAT working again.

Now I am using SDC v1734 only one API and the Flex is ok.

I do not recommend making changes to ini files. Save the settings in the SmartSDR-API tab to a profile and delete the extra API instance. You can always restore the settings from the profile.
The number of clients should not affect the operation of SmartSDR-CAT.
But I don't understand why you need two connections to one transceiver? All SDC systems work through a single connection.

GE again, the second istance was for the second active RX-Panadapter and I wanted to retain just in case i needed the second without reconfiguring from scratch HI.  I undesrstand about the changes in the ini files . But I want to be sure it is not this setup that disturbs the FLEX_CAT, because the SDC v17 -1API works fine.

HI agn, is it possible to put a # at the beginning of every row without cancelling the whole API2 paragraf 
------
[SmartSDR_API]
# ApiCount=2
# SmartSDR%20API%20Client%201\Name=FLEX-8600
etc etc
SmartSDR%20API%20Client%201\Host=Phil-Flex
SmartSDR%20API%20Client%201\Station=
SmartSDR%20API%20Client%201\PortTCP=4992
SmartSDR%20API%20Client%201\PortUDP=4996

HI , without rowing deeper into the sdc19ini file I decided to delete the whole file, 
so when I have restarted the SDC it has recreated the ini file,
now it is again all ok.
