First off, I want to join the others in complimenting Eric and crew for a really great release. The following are my observations so far.

Hardware/software used:

AMD Athlon 2X 64 4400+ (~2.2 Ghz) with 1 GB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce 6200 graphics controller

Delta 44

.NET 2.0 and DirectX 9.0c

Win2003 Server

SDR-1000 with RFE and 100 Watt PA

Right after the database import, the CPU utilization was 75% (normally it is about 8%) and the screen took FOREVER to paint. Once it was shut down and restarted everything was fine.

When I first start PowerSDR in DirectX / Polyphase FFT mode, CPU utilization is high for my computer 35%.

Going into STANDBY, the CPU utilization drops to ~20%.

Once I get the System.InvalidOperationException Unhandled Exception error using the BSR (see below) and hit Continue, CPU utilization drops to 3% and stays there with out any degradation to the operation of PowerSDR

The RX / TX display shows the correct readings, but flashes randomly. It doesn’t do this every time the app is started.

No transmit power once you get an System.ArgumentException: Invalid parameter used - Unhandled Exception error

If Mixw is running when you start PowerSDR in DIGIU mode, CAT occasionally quits working

If you start Power SDR and key the rig with MOX and then click MOX again to un key the rig you always get a System.InvalidOperationException: The object is currently in use elsewhere. Unhandled Exception error.

=======================================================

Changing frequency with the Band Stack Registers (BSR) will at sometime generate an Unhandled Exception:

I get this one the most:

System.InvalidOperationException: The object is currently in use elsewhere.
