Interesting. I would recommend contacting the VAC folks and ask them about
Win7 compatibility. We all would like to know if it is going to work correctly
or not.

If you are using PowerSDR v1.18.0, there is a bug that prevents CAT TX command
form working correctly. It is fixed in the SVN trunk version and will be in
the next released version of PowerSDR.

that the ones that I've tried don't like the x64.

The SVN TRUNK version works with Windows x64 operating systems, but you have to
load .NET 1.1 + the service packs. Win7 is not currently supported as they

Yes there is a low power transverter port on the back of the 5000 that I use
with my 222 transverter. Can't remember the exact power, maybe a mw, but it
is there and works just fine.

Did you do a level calibration on the SDR-1000 or just a frequency
