[hpsdr] Metis works! - but, a question

[Bill Tracey]

Do you see the same issue running Ozy with the 
same version of PowerSDR  you're running with 
Metis?  The change to avoid I/Q clipping is 
independent of Ozy/Metis usage and would only be 
in the signal path if your running with the Compander on.
