Hi, I've got my radio back and on air. Thanks to FlexRadio systems for fantastic warranty support. Their responsivity to a fault in the radio was amazing. Great dealing with you guys. I have installed Windows 7 64bit and the radio works well for about 30 minutes and then the audio

Re: [Flexradio] Windows 7 x 64 bit of an issue

Hi Dave, I'm running a Flex-3000 with PSDR 1.18.6 on a Windows 7 64 bit system, with the driver that came on the computer, and I notice that crackly audio develops after some hours of operation too. I run it 7x24 as a Winmor RMS station, and if I shut down and restart everything (except Win 7)

Re: [Flexradio] Windows 7 x 64 bit of an issue

This issue is related to the Firewire driver and recovery from long duration operating system latencies that prevents the Firewire interface from delivering data from the radio to PowerSDR. It makes no real difference between using 32 or 64-bit versions of Win7. I would try changing the

I have observed (not measured nor really understood) that even with 4GB that Win7x64 seems slower than Win7x86. I would recoommend a total of 8GB on Win7x86 machines to get the benefits of the operating system. 73 Neal Campbell Abroham Neal Software www.abrohamnealsoftware.com (540) 645 5394

Re: [Flexradio] Question on noise floor

If you toggle the SR (spur reduction) on and off, do the spikes move? If they do then they are normal products of the radio and can be safely ignored as they should never be in the bandpass. If they don't move, then it's environmental noise from neighborhood consumer electronics, etc. Where I am,
