The workarounds previously mentioned do not work either.

Mike,

They do work, sort of. You'll get problems with them depending upon what you have done with SP2. If you leave SP2 fully zoomed out, then they will work. You can zoom SP2 in a little but DON'T slide the display to centre up the CW passband. Once you do this it all goes wrong. Zoom back out fully and ZAP will start working again. As for CW AFC, assuming that you've followed the advice above regarding SP2, it has a go but isn't too helpful. It quickly gets bored and wanders off very easily to find something stronger to listen to. During even short pauses in transmission, without any other signals visible in SP2, it will still go off for a tune. Why does it do this!?

LOL, "They do work, sort of".

That's why I'm not rushing out to purchase the new SdrDuo.

You wouldn't buy a Duo just because the CW AFC is a bit awkward? :shock:

If the issue had been addressed then that in itself wouldn't be a factor. ;)
