Anyone can augment TNF functionality with our hardware products using
the tnf.dll. How the TNF filter is applied is all done in the available
console C# code. We had asked the HPSDR group to not distribute the DLL
when we released the TNF functionality.

Thanks Tim, I stand corrected!
Does the source include the capability to add the TNF feature? I
remember a discussion about that a while back that it did not, as that
was a "secret sauce", and would not be made available to the general
public under the GPL. I will admit that I haven't asked for it lately,
as I could not use it before, due to improper tools.
Anyway, I've moved on to the 6500, and LOVE IT! Keep up the good work!

Terry,
The source for PowerSDR has always been available, it is part of the GPL
license. You can get it by sending an e-mail to g...@flexradio.com
PowerSDR uses VS2008. I have converted the projects to work with
VS2010, but we still use VS2008 because there is no compelling reason to
make the change.

So, is PowerSDR back in open source? I thought they stopped making
the source code available when they added the TNF and custom skins.
An older version is available, but why would you want to add anything
to an obsolete version. The openHPSDR group has been doing fine work
extending PowerSDR, but I'm not sure their version supports Flex
hardware any longer.
Also, the fact that the Flex PowerSDR compiled ONLY under Visual
Studio 2003 is a dramatically limiting factor. I bought a newer
version of Visual Studio (2005), only to find out the code would NOT
compile under it. For years.
I'm not faulting Flex at all on any of the above. And, I'm not
arguing one way or the other. I'm just checking on your assumption
that it would be reasonable to modify and improve the latest
distributed version of PowerSDR.
Do you have source for the 6500-series radios yet?
They don’t have to be gods to prevent mere mortals from working
with/on the code. They just have to restrict the distribution of
source, or use tools that are difficult for those mere mortals to
obtain.
BTW, I also have a 6500, and an SDR-1000. I'd rather Flex spend its
time on providing the improvements to SmartSDR than improving
PowerSDR any further. And, I believe that's what they are doing.
GO FLEX!!

So, learning how to modify the open source code yourself is an
unreasonable price?
Given the wish, the will, and time isn't it at least under
consideration?
I just question the rush to pay for something that's free and licensed
to stay that way.
I bought an SDR1000, Flex5000A, and Flex6500 just because I could tinker
with them in software. Seriously the existing code was written by
Amateurs, not Magicians or Gods.
If they could do it. Why can't I? I have the hardware, the wish, and the
wetware. I'm beginning to find the time, and the required skills. I
won't predict what will happen next. I want to "do". not just "use".
So I'm going to hang on to mine. They're still new, and getting newer.

For what it's worth, which I know isn't much, I too would gladly pay a
reasonable,price for software upgrades. I do think this process could
breath new life into the 3000 and 5000 which are great radios and far
superior to much of what's out their from the pacific rim. As a
satellite
user I doubt I'll ever part with my 5000 with the v/u unit. It's an
amazingly capable radio and very versatile compared to most on the
market
today including the new flex 6000 series radios, none of which have the
capability of running vhf and uhf out of the box. Sellers of their
Powersdr
based radios should be patient and market to the right consumers. If
you've
got one like mine and want to sell it look for the VHF, UHF EME crowd.
