I hadn't heard of this software. I have had two of these one pound USB eBay sound devices. One was so poor you could see the noise it generated on the waterfall. I tossed it.

After a week, whenever I plugged it in Windows threw up an "A USB device has had a serious failure" message. I tossed it. Julian, G4ILO --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "J.
