Mike:
In this forum, there are no dumb questions or bad ones. The only dumb
questions are the ones you needed to ask and did not.
It may appear that this stuff is magical technical jargon, but we came
into this putting our underwear on the same we always did before and
likely you did as well. We have spent two years on this one project
almost to the exclusion of all else and we can get a little deep in our
common jargon. Like all of these Gnu style projects, the documentation
lags far behind the product. There is an operational document for the
last official (non beta) release but there is so much new stuff in the
beta releases that you have to have a place to come ask. That is why we
are here. There are almost no technical writings about the hardware or
software of any significance since Gerald's original articles appeared
in QEX.
MEA CULPA along with some others. As volunteers, we get to say the work
is fun, the documentation of the technical work is lacking and we
completely acknowledge this but do not hold your breath until you pass
out waiting for it to arrive.

Fellow SDR users,
I am using version 1.4.4 with my SDR. I have been reading the reflector for
several months and I must admit that perhaps I have made a mistake. I am at
somewhat of a loss at this point. I am reluctant to try any further
versions of the software. It seems that my area of expertise is in areas
other than computers and computer programming. Therefore I have very little
clue as to the meaning of most of the posted messages on the reflector.
Perhaps I am in the minority, or perhaps there may be others who might
benefit from a "translator" of sorts to attempt to put some of the available
knowledge into a language which might be understood by a person such as I.
At this point in time, I am inclined to "revert" to my comfortable regular
style radios that I have been using for the last 46 years.
My onboard computer(brain) is running way over the 100% level trying to
comprehend.
At any rate, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all Flexers.
73, Mike K5NU
