Rob, Let me confirm Roland's statement that the DC hump has nothing to do with the SDR-1000 and everything to do with the sound card. Better cards have lower DC offset and/or noise. The FLEX-5000 does not have this hump because it uses a built in high performance A/D converter (i.e. no hump). Janus/Ozy offers the best performance for SDR-1000 use. 73, Gerald
