I have also experienced this problem and reported it to Flex. It appears to
be a failure in the Wide Band Image Rejection (WBIR) algorithm. In my case
even the band-switching doesn't solve the problem after awhile. I need to
stop and restart PowerSDR to recover. It has made the 1500 pretty useless
for WSPR, which does automatic transmissions and band-switching.

Flex is working on the problem. I hope they find the solution soon as it has
caused me to shelve my 1500 until the problem is fixed. I am lucky because I
also have a 3000 and a 5000 to play with but not everyone with at 1500 has
that luxury.
