Hi Phil,

Metis is working fine here,  the processor use is down from when using Ozy,
Ozy was about 5-9% with Metis 2-5%. Thanks for the hard work you have put
into this project.

Hi Gordon,

Glad to hear that Metis is working well for you. I've yet to implement the
"Full Spectrum" display in KK but will do shortly.

I'll add this to the next release that will also support PennyLane.

As Jeremy mentioned, Metis comes ready programmed with V1.0 so no need to
re-program it unless you want to experiment with John's HPSDR Programmer
application.

One thing the Beta testers found was that the CPU load running PowerSDR with
Metis compared with Ozy/Magister was significantly lower.

I'd be interested in your findings.
