SpectraView's HF tracking mode doesn't allow for an IF tuning offset on frequencies higher than the design limit of the SDR-IQ itself. I know the IF frequency is well below that, but the software was never supported "tracking panadapter" operation on 6M to the best of my knowledge. You can still see the IF spectrum, but you won't have a operator-transparent tracking ability.

Maybe - if none of your software uses one of the commands that LP-Bridge blocks or modifies. The N1MM Logger support team will not even accept bug reports if LP-Bridge is involved - any bug must be duplicated and documented with LP-Bridge removed due to the known issues. 73, ...
