Rob, was there any particular reason the K3 wasn't tested using the available 8-pole 250 Hz roofing filter? I'd be curious to know how much if any this would add to the narrow spaced dynamic performance of the K3 (tested with the 5-pole 200 hz). 73, Kirb - VE6IV -- Rob Sherwood wrote- The

This is likely all related; As of svn 1738 break-in on cw ceases to function unless the VAC button is selected and then de-selected, or the console is powered off/on. The radio works for a short period and then spontaneously quits transmitting (no t/r). Eric's been working on this over the last

Steve, ok, if you go into setup, then: DSPOptions tab . You should have a Buffer Size setting. One value for Receive and one for Transmit. I find that if you run with Receive set to 4096 and then Transmit at a smaller value you have to make sure that each time you start PowerSDR you go in and
