Alberto,
 
Thank you for the new features.  All of these new features are quite helpful.
 
While it may be operator error, on my part, I am not able to balance the image signal with the Soundcard Skew Calibration routine.  The best I can get is about a 25dB null of the image signal.  The gain settin seems to have zero effect and the phase adjustment has a very small null at 0.1 degrees positive.  20 dB is about the worst balance I can get at any setting so I am only seeing about 5 dB of image rejection when adjusted as well as I can adjust it.
 
Using Rocky 1.4 as the baseline I am seeing more than 60 dB image rejection with a smooth phase shift from 0 to about 2 degrees and a gain shift of from 1.140 to about 1.180 both rising fom left to right on Alex's I/Q balance graph.
 
Using the new M0KGK software I am getting 25 to 30 dB image rejection but this software does not have a functioning balance routine at this point.

As I am not ready yet to release my new SDR program, I decided to give
some touch-ups to SDRadio. Specifically, I have added the possibility to
specify the LO frequency used, so to have a correct frequency display,
and a few other small enhancements, as reported here :
  • External LO frequency settable for a correct frequency display
  • Fine tuning with the mouse wheel
  • Improved audio quality (meaning that a bug has been corrected...)
  • Improved denoiser
  • Polyphase FFT for spectrum display
As there isn't an User Guide (shame on me...). to specify the LO
frequency, just click on the frequency display, as shown here :



You can download a self-installing package from my Web site :

Thanks for reporting errors and malfunctions.
