I asked for more activity so I could test my system and I am pleased to say that, at last, I have a reliably working OPDS/Op set up. I have given up on the Virtual Audio Cable software to couple the SDR to SpecLab. Several others have found it useful, but I had too many problems to be able to rely on it. I used VAC because my previous set- up with two sound cards (one for the SDR output and one for SpecLab input) was producing poor results when using OPDS (though it worked fine for other modes). The solution was to use just one sound card, but use one half (digital to audio) for the SDR and the other half (audio to digtal) for SpecLab. A simple cable between audio out and mic in completed the circuit. This works very well. Last night, the Opera software decoded SV8CS, DK7FC and PA0A. More interestingly, was that OPDS decoded many more transmissions from those stations plus UA4WPF (3422km) and UW8SM. Later this week I will set up a DropBox page where the OPDS results will be posted whenever I have the system switched on. Mike, G3XDV
