I've seen similar behavior. With 2.0.8, the 1500 worked when plugged into the USB port on my monitor. This did not work on 2.0.16, I had to plug it into a USB port on the motherboard and then it worked fine.
The symptoms were everything seemed to work, but the I/Q data stream. The radio was recognized by PSDR, running through the frequency range, could hear the relays switching, etc. Jim KA2RVO On Sat, Nov 13, 2010 at 11:15 AM, Al <[email protected]> wrote: > This sounds like what happens to my 1500 when I run it though an external > USB hub..
