PowerSDR v2.0.19 RC1 has 'miraculously' cured the interface problem I was
having [PC crashed whenever I turned-on my F5KA!!]. WHATEVER YOU GUYS
DID.THANK YOU 73, Eddie VK4AN

Hi Matt,
The FTDI drivers support the USB and serial port (each RFspace radio has an
optional serial port).
As for painless 'plug-and-pray' the answer is: Ethernet. I have two Ethernet
SDR radios here, I can run them from any PC in my network. No driver issues,
nothing. Obviously latency when
Ethernet is a near optimum solution for SDR - with an IP stack, it could
provide a facility for rig control and geo-diversity communications, just like
the Big Guys...

To add to the confusion, I have a firewire card that uses the black
listed NEC chipset. When flex came out with the driver that lists
compatibility, sure enough it reported that it was not compatible. I
mentioned it to Flex since the card works just fine for me, and they
stated that they

Now that is a novel excuse! At least a cockatoo is one of the lesser
dangerous critters you have down there in OZ.
Was the IEEE in error by issuing the standard?

Hi, Neal, (and all),
This is my first posting to this list and I'm a newbie to the Flex-scene,
but not a stranger to computer related product engineering issues.
Historically, in the FlexRadio world, I don't know the reasons for the
choice of firewire, but the obvious one is the ease of software
While a move to USB may seem inevitable it doesn't come without its own
problems. Flex have already had to rewrite the Flex-1500 USB drivers to
work around issues in different motherboard chipsets.
I think the wider issue is that the Flex radios are real-time audio
devices and are
Coming from a background of using RFspace's SDR-IQ and SDR-14 with sample
rates of ~ 196kHz there have been *no* issues with motherboard USB chipsets.
Fortunately the SDR-IQ does not draw too much current, even weak USB chips
support the IQ with ease. My ASUS EEE N270 netbook runs without problem.
I believe the issues that the Flex-1500 driver had are due to the fact
that Flex are writing their own USB device driver as they are moving
away from using the Windows sound subsystem to interface with the
radio. The Flex-1500 drivers and PSDR 2.x are still in beta so some
issues are to be
Hi All,
I have been using my F5KA for over a year on an old Toshiba laptop.
Keyboard was damaged by my cockatoo, so I decided to get a new laptop.
I did a lot of research, and settled on a 'high-end' Toshiba Qosmio X505
with 18 screen, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 1GB dedicated video DDR5 VRAM, i5

Tim,
I appreciate your personal comments. You have even confirmed that the
compatibility issue is even worse than I thought!
When the same TI chipset will work on one interface but not another from a
different manufacturer, then that confirms that the standard is not really a
standard. or there

I have just had a look around the PreSonus (another high-end audio
company) website and found that they, like Flex and M-Audio, have a
document listing compatible FireWire chipsets[1]. The recommendations
look very similar to the Flex recommendations. PreSonus also recommend
trying the
