HI all When I'm happily tuned in on 20m or 15m the background is blue and sigs are green/red/yellow etc. All okay so far. If I tune up on 10m sigs barely register on the black background even when I'm tuned up. It seems to be undersensitive. On 30m and 40m (I haven't tried 80 or top band) the

The Panadapter and the waterfall show absolute signal strength. The NF is a lot lower on the higher bands, therefore the ambient signal strength at the default settings for the NF for it will not show bright or intense colors on the waterfall display. It is technical a non-issue as the

Rob, PTT control is Not Enabled on my PSDR CAT tab. CAT does indeed handle all PTT for MD/DM780. In DM780 Program Options, PTT is via Ham Radio Deluxe, not Serial (Com) port. THis may be where your setup is going wrong; MiniDeluxe emulates Ham Radio Deluxe by translating the serial CAT

SSDs are the best single component update you can do to a Vista or Win7 system. When you give Win7 the right amount of memory (4GB for x86, 6GB for x64 is what I recommend) and put the operating system, swap file and program files on the SSD, it takes a lot of bottleneck out of WIndows. Prior

Hi Mickey I directly compared 1RPM drives with SSDs and there is no comparison. You can feel a difference between 7200RPM and 10KRPM drives but I ultimately decided I didn't think they justified the premium price. I haven't purchased a 15KRPM but I don't think it will matter. \\The SSDs
