Alan Are you running at 192khz or 96khz? I have found at times running at the higher rate is more sensitive to DPCs. I usually run at 96khz. I guess there are some DPCs that cause more trouble than others. Don - kx9q From: Alan NV8A n...@charter.net To:

I note that FRS is introducing new radios that have an IEEE 1394 interface between the computer and the transceiver. Will Linux drivers be developed? The current IEEE1394 driver situation seems to me to be very difficult, if even possible, to configure. In fact, I have not been able to get
