But I think that the key here is that Larry mentioned that he is abandoning CW to focus on digital modes. This is a different style of operating. There are both advantages and disadvantages to the flex radios in this area, mostly having to do with limitations in PowerSDR, e.g. loss of "memory" in the waterfall when retuning and the inability of RX to have a separate output. The former affects all modes but the latter only affects digital modes. Any mode where you use your ears, RX2 works fine the way it is. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682 br...@lloyd.com +1.767.617.1365 (Dominica) +1.916.877.5067 (USA) _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
