Cost me $10.00 at a ham fest 30 years ago, has bass, midrange and treble
controls, high and low cut filters, 5 inputs and two sets of speaker

Also, an amp may have 10% distortion at max power out

I have that also, running the last two official psdr versions on two
different computers.
Its built into the software it seems.
I was working some guys Sunday, a flex 1000, a 3000 and my 5000.
We were talking about the carrier level adjustment in the AM mode.
On my 5000, 100 equals 25 watts carr
I think that is the trick, set it up for psdr, and don't screw with it, or
let Microsoft screw with it.
No virus software, no pop up blockers, no processes except psdr running.
I transfer the updates in using a usb memory stick.
I have been running trouble free for months with my 5000a and Nea

Latency is running around 20, with spikes up to 60 s

Going from my older Sony laptop, 2x1.6 GHz core, 2 gb, vista 32, to the
