Installation was smooth, and operation is very good except as follows. I'm using a Win 7-64, Core i7 computer. I did not import the old database, but started from scratch. Prior to installation, I deleted the old firewire driver.
Over a period of about 10 hours of cw operation (using an external keyer), PSDR froze up six times during CW transmission. It appears that I'm not the only person who is experiencing this--see bug report 3461. After the first freeze-up, I rebooted the computer--no help. On four occasions, I was able to restart by clicking the start button. On two occasions, PSDR was "not responding", and I had to use Windows Task Manager to close PSDR and restart. On one occasion, it froze "key down" after I finally beat my way through a pile-up (embarrassing). In six months of operation, I did not experience a PSDR lockup with the other betas. NB is still very ineffective against an intermittent noise that I have here in the evenings. I hope improvements can be made in future releases. On the plus side, I have not experienced the audio distortion/firewire problem with the new beta. 73, Dan - W4TQ _______________________________________________ Flexedge mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexedge_flex-radio.biz This is the FlexRadio Systems e-mail Reflector called FlexEdge.
