Thank everyone for the help! As it turns out, someone sabotaged me on this one. Although I DO have it working now. After pulling what is left of my hair out because everything was working interdependently but not together. I decided to take a look at the radio. My theory was that the IF2k board was not receiving an IF signal from the radio. As it turned out, I was right! I followed the "H" connector back, around to the bottom side of the radio and found it plugged in to a "j(something or other)" which sits right next to the plug marked "H". A simple pull and plug (in the right spot) and everything is a go! To answer everybody's questions though, no I am not using HRD for cat control, i see no reason. PSDR-IF has direct ft2k cat control. I do have a "bright spot" on my display with the roofing filter off and a dip with it on, but I'm sure I'll get that worked out. Thanks again ALL Robert

Hello, I have a Yaesu Ft2000 with the IF 2000 installed and I am having some issues that hopefully you can help me with. Using the LP-Pan and an EMU 0204 sound card. I get nothing but noise on the PC, When I turn on powersdr if stage or any one of the other programs. in the process of trying to figure this all out I connected the output jack to my frequency counter and the frequency output was around 4mhz on 10m. as I start going up the bands and finally end up at 160m It gradually gets higher. By the time I get to 160m, the IF frequency shows close to 10mhz. Still nothing but noise on my PC display. Then the weird part. I ended up transmitting on 10m to try and make a contact. When I did, I saw my TX on the display. I was absolutely a USB signal and fluctuated with my voice. Then I switched to LSB, and the display followed me. Same with FM AM, etc. It's absolutely tracking my TX beautifully, but nothing on RX. Is this something I have done? Do you have any idea if it may be the IF2000, LP-Pan or sound card? I am leaning towards the IF2000 myself. Seems either it is faulty or my radio has a problem of some sort. I followed the installation instructions to the t and checked and rechecked afterwords. I am positive that the board is installed correctly (per instructions). Thank you very much for any help, it is appreciated. Robert
