[Skimmertalk] CWS and PowerSDR again..

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Andy, you might want to be in touch with VE2WU,  I believe he has had 
some similar issues and might be able to help.  You might also re[ost 
this on the RBN-OPS at yahoogroups.com reflector, which is rather larger 
than the Skimmertalk group.
