Hi Eric, It seems like SVN 1747 accomplished a fairly large number of changes, yet in TortiseSVN, there is no associated log message. Does that occur because I have SVN 1747 installed? Is there another way to find the changes made by 1747? Thanks in advance for any info. vy73's Rob AB7CF

I would add that any changes to the repository increment the revision. So even if we just add or modify the documentation, the number jumps up. Because these files are kept in a folder other than the binaries, you may not download any files (and PowerSDR will still show the older version as it

Hi Jim, Thanks for the datasheet. Per my reading of it, I think you may have hit the nail on the head: if *both* headphone outputs are driven with the same signal into, say, 8 ohm headphones, the 500mA peak current rating of the common pin will be exceeded when the output voltages (if in phase)
