Hi-- I'm not a 1500 expert, but will try to give a quick answer on a couple-- other experts will likely chime in when they have a chance....

Q1- keyboard/mouse-- defer to others, just don't know

Q2 -- PowerSDRâ„¢ v2.0.20 RC2 is the most stable version for the 1500, just reading the threads here from the last couple of weeks. The 1.6.18 versions which are rock stable for the 5000 don't work on 1500's. But 2.0.20 is very very good.

Q3 -- firmware version currently loaded doesn't matter. When you install and initiate v2.0.20 RC2, it will update the firmware on "the box" as well.

Enjoy-- WA7DUH Steve

           I just purchased a 1500. I set up a computer ...P-4 3.0 with 2 gb of 
ram. The box has a New install of XP-home  sp-3. the computer is dedicated to 
the 1500  and power sdr only. no virus software, and only the web browser, to 
down load files. I have a couple of questions.
1. keyboard and mouse, better to use the PS-2 connections , have both also in 
USB.  and keep the only usb connection, for the 1500?
2. 99% of the 1500's use will be ssb,with that in mind, what will be the most 
stable and problem free version of power sdr, to run on the computer?
3. How do I find out what version of the firmware is on my 1500? the radio was 
a rehab from flex ,ordered on Monday from flex,can I assume it has the latest 
up grade ,on the 1500. This will affect what software I use? I guess  what Iam 
asking do I pick and choose software ,or just go with what ever is on the cd 
from flex that comes with the 1500.
          I will down load and print the latest manual, today for the 1500, 
maybe that will answer all my questions,but with developments changing SO FAST, 
thought I would ask these questions.
thanks for any and all help on the above.
