Re: [Flexradio] SDR DXpedition

[Terry Van Benschoten]

Gary,   I have the Thinkpad running the SDR!  The set up is:   -  IBM ThinkPad Model G40,  2 Ghz Pentium 4 Processor, with 1 GB memory, Windows XP Pro -  Extigy USB Sound unit -  USB to parallel for SDR -  ShuttlePro2 - USB connector -  25 Amp Power Supply -  Powered speakers   I've mounted the units on a board, tied down with tie straps, it's all cabled up and transportable as one unit..... plug the three USB connectors into the laptop..... and you're on the air!   I will be testing it out on a friends HF antenna setup later this week..... should be interesting for me...... and him!   Terry, W0VB   ----- Original Message ----- From: Gary Schmidt W5ZL To: 'ecellison' ; 'Larry Loen' ; Flexradio@flex-radio.biz Sent: Saturday, June 11, 2005 4:13 PM Subject: RE: [Flexradio] SDR DXpedition Guys,   I'd definitely be interested, funds and time allowing. IMHO, the keys to successfully using an SDR in a DXpedition are:   1.       Getting the virtual serial port stuff working properly with SERIOUS logging software (a la N1MM, etc.)   2.     Sorting out the issues of running off a laptop (which I think Terry W0VB may have accomplished)   3.     Having a bulletproof CW keyer   From what I’m hearing we’re pretty close on most fronts. Count me VERY interested.   Gary W5ZL     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ecellison Sent: Saturday, June 11, 2005 3:47 PM To: 'Larry Loen'; Flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: RE: [Flexradio] (no subject)   Larry   (Raising hand, for Carribean during a ww contest!)
