Rob, Like anything, one person's feature is another person's bug. The audio coming in through VAC intentionally bypass all audio processing (EQ, compression, etc.) because it was envisioned to be used only for "digital" modes. I used quotes because SSTV, while not a digital mode, would still use

Instead of having FRS change PowerSDR, I'd rather have them get version 2 going. That will split out the User Interface and make lots of changes possible. Robert Dennison wrote: > Hey Dan, > > Thanks... > > Looks like you've put your finger on an improvement for PowerSDR. Surely > the equali
