Greg Already been suggested – Coming – Yep. Internet connectivity is definitely a part of SDR, as is a lot of ham radio these days! January 1’st is a NEW BUDGET YEAR!

I had read many weeks ago that Alex had a "killer" noise blanker in the "Rocky" software. My question is, will it be added to the PowerSDR software sometime in the future? Also, this may have been asked and answered sometime in the past but, why is the PowerSDR console size not able to be made full screen size?   Again thanks for a great radio.
