Good Morning All, The Rocky 3.4 SDR software is ideal for use with the v8.3 Lite+Xtall receiver. The Multi-Band selection on the DSP Settings page together with some editing of the Rocky.ini file can provide easy center frequency selection. The Rocky.ini file Multi-Band center frequency selection lines may be expanded to include 40 lines for each of the center frequencies covered in Tom's v2.5 code. Since the v2.5 code results in a two step operation to select a center frequency on the v8.3 board, each ini file line could look like the following example: 1.820_MHz_160- BPF_B-0_F- 0000=1820000 What would then appear in the Rocky Multi-Band center frequency selection list would be: 1.820 MHz 160-BPF B-0 F-0000 This would remind the user that he needs to have the 160m BPF board plugged onto the v8.3 receiver board, bank 0 needs to be selected at the DIP switch and the frequency selection at the DIP switch is 000 which could correspond to 1.820 MHz. I have tested Rocky 3.4 with the Rocky.ini center frequency table filled out to 40 entries and Rocky does collect and save the I/Q balance data for entry 40 in the file. 73, Tony KB9YIG Way to go Tony! Excellent idea. This solves the "weakness" of not having a display. Since we use the PC for everything else, why not the display? How do you do it? Besides all you, you have time to also think. 73, Tom KM5H
