Unfortunately not, Jim! For a while I thought it was the Linksys - powered it off and the problem went away. However, when I replaced it with a different switch, the problem returned, exactly the same symptoms. It turned out to be radiation from the UTP. That particular switch is connected

Keying sidebands are very much affected by the rise time. On the Omni-VII, for example, if set to 10 mSec the width at -70 dB is about 900 Hz, but if set for 3 mSec it is 1500 Hz. Who knows how fast the FT-1000 is, but likely much faster than 3 mSec. 73, Rob, NC0B dan edwards w...@att.net

Your 64-bit issues will be with third-party software and unsigned drivers that you will probably want to use with your computer and not so much PowerSDR. Note that PowerSDR is not going to be fully supported under Win7 until PowerSDR 2.0.0 comes out later this year.
