Bill (smile) yup, probably not easy, but what ever was? Gerald did give an award to ALAN - K2WS for first base to mobile SDR-SDR contact, so it is do-able with the SDR.
You are right, good comparison, ignoring the discussion. Next?

I love you guys (in a brotherly way), but putting a SDR-1000 in a car and operating it might be a bit of a challenge, even with a laptop :-). Same for backpacking it up the side of a mountain. Bill AD5OL >>> "ecellison" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08/30/05 07:12PM >>> Sami I am still reading. However, now I would like for you to comment on my purchase of the Yeasu 857 and compare what I bought from Yeasu with what I bought from FlexRadio Systems, years ago. Which was the better buy for the future, no matter what I want to do in ham radio? Juxtaposition.

[Eric] > We are committed to using the GPL as it gives us protection while at the same time offering an extreme amount of freedom in terms of modification and redistribution. Using GPL is an ideological choice. Nothing wrong with that. But there are lots of people who really don't understand the ideology they are subscribing to. Until it's too late. It's like a cult: once you're in, you can never get out. OK, I'm not a big fan of GPL, but that's not the point. The point is (as Jim was trying to explain in his first post) that GPL may be the single most important reason why some people cannot contribute to this project. I think this is a serious problem. But this problem could be circumvented by following the guidelines Jim suggested. But I know this is not the first time we're having this discussion. The concept of "plugins" has been mentioned (and rejected) many times before. But the concept seems to work just fine in many other applications. Why not here? 73, Sami OH2BFO _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz
