<html><head><style type="text/css"><!-- DIV {margin:0px;} --></style></head><body><div style="font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif;font-size:12pt"><div>Hi,<br>Not having a Mercury and only having used PowerSDR with a Softrock type devices I'm wondering if there are any differences in the way you can tune Mercury.<br>With a Softrock and PowerSDR you can clicktune on a signal on the panadapter and because the QSD uses a ~9kHz IF the whole panadapter display shifts to the clicked frequency and the signal of interest is demodulated.<br><br>With a direct sampling receiver this shouldn't be necessary. What I aspire to do one day when I have a Hermes is to display a fixed 192kHz bit of spectrum i.e. a ham band on the panadapter and be able to click on a signal and demodulate that signal without the panadapter shifting. Is this possible already? I would like to use Hermes for contests and this feature would be a boon.<br><br>Can I run PowerSDR
without the Mercury (and Atlas etc) hardware and read in an i/q file if I had one and experiment with tuning and demodulation etc?<br><br>Thanks in advance for any help,<br><br>Andrew<br><br></div>
