You could use PowerSDR's user interface to send commands to and get status back from the 7000. You could feed the audio to and from PowerSDR, and use PowerSDR's very powerful filtering, AGC, recording, etc. features. Granted, you don't get some of the performance aspects of doing the modulation and demodulation in the PC (like multiple receivers in the passband) But that's kind of the cool thing about software radios in general.. with half way decent interface abstractions, the "RF hardware" becomes just a peripheral interface, controlled as you like it. It's sort of like the popularity of programs such as HRD.. they essentially abstract the radio's function and present a common user interface for all radios. One could argue that maybe the direction to head for PowerSDR type products is to let UI specialists (HRD) take on that aspect of radio control, making the software like PowerSDR more of a radio abstraction layer that controls the RF hardware and the DSP processing. CAT on steroids, if you will. But, as you say, for today, PowerSDR doesn't support the IC7000 and TS2000.
