I have PowerSDR 2.2.3 (W5WC - 2/10/12) RX2 Version installed and
running. I'm running a single Mercury card.
I ran the usual RX level cal using my Elecraft XG1 on 7.040MHz with the
cal level set for -73dBm. I ran the calibration with RX2 off.
RX1 seems to calibrate normally - I get a nice -73dbM reading when I
move the signal into the passband.
RX2 seems to be off by a few dB - not enough to make that much
difference but definitely not reading the same - maybe -77dBm.
Does the calibration routine address both receivers or is there a way to
calibrate RX2 independently of RX1 - I could not see anything in setup
but maybe missed it.
Guess I've got used to having accurate S-meters:-)

PS thanks for the effort put in to bringing us the 2 RX capability.
