Saitek radio issue

[TangoDeltaCharlie]

Greetings all. This is my first post to this site.

 

I recently bought several panels from Saitek and they all work great, but I have one issue. I purchased 2 Saitek radio panels so I can use one panel for COM1 and NAV1, and the second panel for ADF and XPNDR. Im running it on both FSX:SE and Prepar3ed v2.4 professional. I have tried the latest drivers I downloaded from the Saitek website, as well as the plugins for SE and P3d. It sort of worked, but I had some problems with my switch panel not working all the time, so I decide to try the latest version of SPAD with FSUIPC (v 4.9.4.4). This was much better, but I get one panel that can go thru all the modes and works great, but the other panel has only LEDs displayed, and I cannot make any mode changes or change any of the settings. Im running all my panels through a 7-port powered 3.0 USB hub which has not given me any troubles, and I don't think thats the problem. It's getting late in the day and my brain hurts from trying different solutions. I have seen people use more than one panel in their setups before, so what am I missing?

I resolved the problem myself. Turns out my USB may have been causing some sort of an issue after all. As soon as I moved one radio from the hub to the PC, it started working. Go figure.

I found moving from a hub to the mainboard USB resolves a lot of issues. So when you upgrade, next mainboard should have many USB ports.
