I'm assuming the VFO is not functioning.
I checked all the soldering and don't see any bridges or other problems.

Oh one more thing.
The stand off post for the face place was missing in the kit.
It should arrive in Monday's mail.
I just put it together WITHOUT this in place being careful not to
bend any pins because it's not 100% stable without it.
Would that effect the VFO?

Yes, indeed. One of the Chinese pig-tail adapters was shorting the two

I changed adapters and gave the program some time to run and cancel out
images and it works much better now. I still have some recurring spurs

AFSK and FSK are LSB - if you are receiving fine in USB, you are
likely inverted in AFSK/FSK. Since DM780 does not support FSK,

In addition to the cable, you will also need to be sure that your

stereo input (I and Q channels). Some laptop input jacks will only
accept mono signals, even though the laptop's sound card itself is
stereo. My

Mr Nyquist would be happily surprised at that. With IQ samples at 48kS/s
each, you get a maximum of 48kHz, or one-half the total bandwidth. Not 48k+48k.
So, with a 48k sample rate, you will get plus and minus 24k from center.

Close spacing--like 300 170Hz shift signals between 14075 and 14.110

A single channel of adc samples at 48ks/s can only display VALID
unique frequency data up to 24 kHz before the spectrum folds over.
Since both I and Q can be used, they effectively double the sample

enough.
