This particular tool, Multi Notch Filter (MNF), allows you to specify up to 1024 notches. The notches are specified by RF frequency and width and will be invoked, as needed, when they overlap the passband. This feature is useful for those who have interference that consistently appears on specific frequencies. @@ -48,23 +65,6 @@ Other changes include: - Improved Russian language translation for the ToolTips by Michael, R2AGG. - Corrected a problem with the VFO not updating when dragging the panadapter in CW mode. -# 3.2.21 (2015-1-23) --CESSB (Controlled Envelope Single SideBand): -Dave Hershberger, W9GR, published an interesting article on "CESSB" in the November/December 2014 issue of QEX.

This new interface is called Midi2Cat and replaces the DJ Console midi controller interface. It has the ability to map any midi device. We want to give Andrew a huge thanks for sharing this very nice project. The User Guide for MidiCat is located in the PowerSDR program folder or can be downloaded from the Yahoo Apache Labs group files folder. Look for 'Midi2Cat_Instructions_V3.pdf'. One change to note that has changed since the user guide was written is the Midi Interface is located on the 'CAT' page within the Setup Form.
