Thanks to all who responded both on and off list with some great suggestions. I've got quite a few configurations to try. I look forward to learning more about this amazing radio in the days and weeks to come... 73 Tim Nz8J

I'm trying to get a feel for what other primarily CW operators are using for sampling rate and buffers taking the computer limitations out of the equation. Assuming the computer is robust enough to handle it, what setting do you find the best overall balance between latency and filter sharpness? I'm using a Intel quad core with 4 GB ram and I have the firewire driver and primary audio set at 192Khz sampling rate and buffer size of 2048. (Firewire at "normal" operation) The DSP buffers are set at RX=4096 and TX=2048. There appears to be little difference between the 100hz and 25 hz filters at these settings. The CPU usage is normally less than 20% running PowerSDR 1.18.0 and Logic 8 under these settings I am just learning how to operate this radio and would like to see what other cw operators are using. I am amazed by how quiet the radio is and how much easier it is to copy weak cw signals down in the noise.
