Hi, Chris.  I know I recognize you from the WSPR world.

I expect that it will work fine as a single receiver under PSDR, but I
have not tested it.  I'm only running it on linux using ghpsdr3-based
code.  That's why I wanted to throw it out there for others to test in
different circumstances.  If someone can try running it with PSDR,
please do and report back to the rest of the group!  Certainly that
needs to happen before this can be officially released in any way.

Through the joys of open source: by hacking WSPR to get its input from
the TCP audio stream of ghpsdr3's dspserver (also slightly hacked to
send out raw audio rather than alaw-encoded) in a very quick-and-dirty
fashion.  I'm working on doing the same thing for fldigi.  I very much
want to hook various digital mode software up to these soft radios,
but it's at the exploration / rapid prototyping stage now, at least
for me.

I'll check in experimental versions of WSPR, etc., which work with
dspserver when things have settled down and I get a chance. I'm not
working on anything on the Tx side.
