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.

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. "

-- Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio.
