    Amazon sells firewire cards that use the Texas Instruments chipset that are preferred with the legacy radios. They are available in both the older PCI interface and the newer PCIe interface. If you do a search here on the Community, there is a lot of good information on choosing the best firewire card. And there are some very good articles from Tim Ellison on setting up the firewire card with Windows.

    Another good resource is KE9NS's website ( Google his callsign and PowerSDR) and you will find a lot of good information along with Darren's version of PowerSDR which is really great.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
