I think I'll be looking at the cables, I seem to be picking up some 60 hz on the kx3, fairly low level but this is on the battery so it must be coming from a connection somewhere. ThTs probably why there's always a log spur at the center frequently . I seem to have hdsdr working acceptably except for the spur. I'll also try rockey. Thanks for the suggestions Tom

Hello Tom. I have had success with using several SDR software programs (and sound cards) with my KX3. It shouldn't be that hard. I've used Rocky, hDSDR, a few variants of PowersDR, SDRsharp, and a few others, on various Windows and Apple (iPad, iPhone) computers. Most programs have internal adjustments for phase and gain differences, so you don't need to adjust those with External mixer controls. Try Rocky first, it's probably the easiest to set up and use. It can also automatically adjust for your sound card and rig differences. If you are having so many problems, be sure to check your cables. I have had a couple of commercially made cables that were defective, with partial shorts between the various connections. I had trouble with I/Q balancing until I found they were bad. Good luck. 73, Terry, WB4JFI Sent from tfox iPad > On Oct 12, 2013, at 7:27 PM, Tom <tom...@videotron.ca> wrote: > > Hi > Well I just bought a new outboard sound card and removed all previous cards. > I'm now running an emu2020 and I can adjust the levels between the channels. > I can minimize the images but as soon as you move up or down a while the > images are back.
