Good morning, I subscribed to this list because I am considering a Flex-radio for my next purchase. I'm wondering if my present computer is adequate. I am running Windows 7/64 bit on a Mac-Mini. Yes, I am one of those. I believe the Mac hardware runs Windows faster and more reliably than

Dave, I am no expert but I would just try it and see what happens. If it does not work then buy a cheep PC and have fun. The PC I used on my Flex 3000 I paid $50.00 at a hamfest, it's a used Dell Optiplex GX620 with two gigs rams, works perfect. In fact every PC I own I bought used at

There are a number of people on the list who run Mac equipment without issue. I am sure some of them will respond to you, but I believe you will be fine as long as you are running Boot Camp. Parallels does not work with the Flex software. While I run Macs here, I have not run any of the Flex

Dave, Macs are often superb platforms for PowerSDR. Two threshold requirements for a PC to run PowerSDR: It has to be able to run a Firewire connection, and it has to have low to moderate DPC latency. To check on the latency of your PC, download DPC LAT.exe from www.thesycon.de If your

Dave : With my Flex-1500 I had been successfully running Powersdr on a late-2009 Uni-Body Macbook with WIN 7 32-bit, until i bought a dedicated quad-core PC laptop for for Ham Radio use. I’m assuming that your Mini is at least a dual-core (Intel Core Solo Mini’s are quite rare) so you

I have a Flex 3000 with PSDR 2.7.2 that has been running generally fine until this PM. When I went to tune, no power out was shown. I rebooted XP Pro SP3 and one tune effort worked a bit, but subsequent efforts showed no power out again. I took power off the F3K and the PC, then powered all

Hi Dave, I am not sure what to tell you. I had this issue twice. The first time was when the loop antenna had one lead disconnect from the balun. Once the antenna was fixed it went back to normal. The Second was after my cat decided to play around behind the desk. I found that RF got into the
