Bill -

    My setup is K3, Clifton Labs buffer amp, EM0202. It wasn't "plug and play" for me, but it works great now. I found the info in Larry Phipps manual for setup and config of PSDR-IF extremely helpful. It's found on the Telepost Home page      http://www.telepostinc.com/  Scroll down the home page to Setup and Config manual for PowerSDR-IF v1.19 / LP-Bridge v0.9976 betas - and open the .pdf. Larry's instructions assume you will be using the LP Pan instead of a Softrock, so your global offset and center frequency entered in the the Setup IF / IF Frequencies tab will be different than what he suggests.  I use a global offset of -1710 and a center frequency of 8193500. Make sure you use the patched version of PSDR-IF v 1.19.0.2 ( I can email it to you)  Some believe a USB to serial cable with FTDI chip will prevent some problems. Would be glad to work with you by phone if you want.

                                                                                                                                                                            Larry,   K4KGG
