Hi  Rick,

You may want to try the latest version of the Ozy code V1.7.

Don't think I can be much help since I now use KK for CW since that runs
in full duplex. I also don't use the PC DSP library to generate the raised
cosine profile CW signals - that way QSK works perfectly.

Perhaps someone who uses PowerSDR on CW can let you know the best settings
to use.
