[Lowfer] MP, XKO and possibly VO1NA into 7-land

John,

Your signal (BDQ) was quite strong here when it was on the air - better 
than either MP or XKO at that time, both of whom had appeared on the 
trace by about 0000z.

I tried a capture of JAM, but it seems that the Spectravue program that 
drives the SDR-14 likes to be creative in the way that it stops:  It 
seems to randomly choose between just switching itself to standby mode, 
crashing while still producing audio and just plain crashing...  
(SDR-Radio V1.5 works, but it doesn't allow selection of the "Direct" 
input on the SDR-14 which works better at low frequencies.)

Unfortunately, I've not been able to get Spectrum Lab to properly use 
the SDR-14 as I don't get image suppression  when running it - that is, 
I see signals on both sides of the "zero" frequency as it doesn't seem 
to be using the I/Q data properly.   Anyone have any suggestions?

73,

Clint
