Alan If you see these spikes and nothing is disrupted in PSDR, there really isn't a problem is there? Do you have any symptoms of a problem while running the radio? If you are having problems, I would not invest any more in that motherboard/cpu/memory. AMD Athlon X2 250 - $65, ASUS M2A74

Hi Alan I don't think the 3DConnexion device is a logitech so it sounds like you don't have the config I was talking about but instead have the one I recommend. You might google for a program called processhacker.exe and run it while you are running your PSDR setup. It acually has an entry for

Hi Dick There is no problem having your radio connected to the internet. The only problems with that appear when: 1. Your computer (like many Dells) put the ethernet jack, usb controllers and the PCI slots all on the same IRQ so when a burst of data appears on the ethernet/usb ports, the audio
