[digitalradio] Multipsk- CPU tests with SDR-IQ Direct active.

2010-01-30 Thread Andy obrien
Interesting data , Tony. I am was surprised that our similar computers have so dissimilar results. So , I checked a few things on different PCs here at my location. Here are my results, The CPU demand is based on maximizing Multipsk's tasks (SDR-Direct active, with full RS-ID on and regular

Hello Tony, According to my tests, it is only the capacity to do calculations which is the key, as a lot of digital processng is done (for example for SDR or Panoramics). I don't think RAM is important. I mean either you have sufficient memory or you have not (and you will have a message

Andy, Thanks for posting your CPU test results with Multipsk. Patrick mentioned that he doesn't think RAM is important in this case and adding more than the minimum memory requirement wouldn't change anything; I guess that leaves the processor. It just seems odd that there would be a large

Well, you can run the SDR part of Multipsk (just press SDR I/Q Direct button in the configuration area, then press RX/TX to return to the main screen. Then you will see the SDR waterfall open up. The problem is that without an SDR, you will only get up to khz of signal, same as the regular

Interesting comments, Andy. My goal is also to be able to monitor all the digital portions of the band and to be able to spot all call signs in any mode across the band. CW Skimmer is a good model for that. In addition, it would nice to be able to select a few segments of the band (~5

Having been inactive on the ham bands for a very long time I would like some help getting active on ditigal modes. RTTY was my favorite but I last worked stations on RTTY in the mid-1970's with a HAL TU and Model 28. I'll happily pay for help from someone who has the expertise to help me with

Andy, In my case, the CPU usage jumps to about 10% with the SDR function running; that's about 2 1/2 times what Multipsk uses when running without SDR. Tony K2MO - Original Message - From: Andy obrien To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, January 30, 2010 6:11
