[PCR-1000] Win XP and Icom Software

Sat, 27 Apr 2002 16:49:09 -0400

Hi Craig,

You might want to take a peek at the 'DSPx' settings in your .ini file and
let us know what they are.  There's four of them in the .ini file.

I DO NOT have the DSP board and mine are:
    DSPON=0
    DSPANF=0
    DSPNR=0
    DSPNRLEVEL=0

Another list member had problems getting his DSP board to work - and it
*might* be the settings.
