[Moon-net] Winrad 1.24 released

[Lance Collister]

Dear Alberto,

I just connected my SDR-IQ to the computer and it seems to work FB with 
the new version of Winrad ;-)  The only problem I have is that I can't 
seem to get it to work with Spectravue at all :-(  Spectravue keeps 
saying the connection is "IDLE" and I have loaded the proper SDR-IQ USB 
driver, too.  Can anybody tell me what the little red and yellow LED's 
on the SDR-IQ are for?  The yellow LED light blinks rapidly.  The red 
LED never comes on. 

How can I tell if the RF gain is adequate going into the SDR-IQ?  The  
no-signal S meter reading on Winrad never seems to read lower than S1, 
and with a high level of drive from my converter, it reads S3. I want to 
be sure I have enough converter output to drive my regular receiver plus 
SDR-IQ/Winrad, but am not sure how I can tell if the RF drive is high 
enough.

I have a roller mouse and have never used the roller on  it until now - 
BOY THAT IS REALLY SMOOTH TUNING!  I can't wait to try to figure out if 
there might be a way to use JT65 with this!

TNX for any tips anyone might have.  VY 73, Lance
