Hello all, I have the DX Engineering remote coax switch and would like to control it via my PC over USB if possible. Is there a PC interface out there that can select 1 of 8 relays? Dennis Petrich Amateur Radio Station K0EOO Lakeville Minnesota USA k0...@arrl.net 952-898-1082

There are! A couple of different options... I've used a serial controlled 8 port unit for many years - it works well and is inexpensive. http://www.electronickits.com/kit/complete/elec/ck1610.htm You will need a serial port to control it. There are USB units out there too - they all seem to

To my knowledge there are NO usb to parallel adapters that work as real parallel ports. I've spent a lot of time researching these things and they are all printer ports only. Also, the Flex usb to parallel adapter sold for the SDR1000 won't work either, it's designed specifically for the SDR1K and

In older versions of PowerSDR I would correct the clock offset (of my SDR-1000) using the Phase display as described in the KB article... Tune in WWV and adjust the clock offset carefully until the dot on the phase display moved very slowly in a circle or stopped entirely. In this latest
