[Lee J. Imber (WW2DX)]

Hello Elecrafters,

While some of you wait for the P3, get your feet wet with PowerSDR-IF Stage in the meantime.

New version of  PowerSDR/IF Stage has been posted
v1.19.3.4 to the download website:
http://www.wu2x.com/sdr.html 
A couple quick highlights: Its based on PowerSDR 1.19.3. This includes
"wide band image rejection" and support for Windows XP, Vista and
Version 7, both 32 and 64 bit.  I will include the release notes at
the end of this post and it is repeated on the download website.

I set it up last night on my XP Pro x64 machine and it's doing great.
I really like not having to use HRD, since I've started developing a
shack control console for the shack here that will have a separate app
for each piece of equipment.  It will drive the K3, Yaesu rotator,
read the packet clusters that includes QSY for the K3 that doesn't
work in HRD along with a MS SQL Server log database. I'll still use
LP-Bridge though, for the virtual ports.

This will be a private project, but after I use it for a year or so I
may make it available, but if I do it will only support the K3.
