 Hello Alberto,
 
 Thanks, I understand this. But I think that simple rewrite version of
  SetHWLO will be more acceptable for such situation:
 long SetHWLO(long LOfreq)
 i.e. SetHWLO try to set new frequency (or nearest which hw support)
 and return real freq of LO.
 
 Regards, Andre

 Hi Andre,

that is a sensible suggestion. Presently the return value from the
SetHWLO API is used for a different purpose, but when modifying the
DLL specs for the Tx part I will take into consideration your
proposal. Thanks.

 Hello
 
 Now I'm working on opensource SDR software project. Major
 disadvantages of known sdr software is the limited support of
 different sdr-hardware. Only specific hardware supported or generic
 SoftRock-like.

 Hi Andre,
 
   have you given a look at the PDF document on my Web site :
http://www.weaksignals.com
about the interface specs on how to to write a DLL to be used with
Winrad ?
Winrad is a SDR program that, using an external DLL, can be made to
work with completely different kinds of hardware. As an example, as of
today DLLs have been written for the Perseus receiver, the SDR-14 and
the SDR-IQ receivers, the Elektor board, the SDR-X receiver (a by now
defunct project that never saw the light...) and for the SI-570
project related to the Softrock boards. If you don't use an external
DLL, Winrad will simply take its input either from the sound card or a
WAV file.
