The next TeamSpeak Meeting of the SDRLUG will be Thursday, March 16 at 9:00 PM
EST (17 March at 0200Z).
Topics for discussion are:
1) The pluses (or minuses) of using ubuntu as our baseline distribution.
2) Installing DttSP, DttSP-Shell and the Java GUI for dttsp.
3) The status of Revison 2 of the DttSP code.
4) Expanding the scope of this group to include Mac OS X and BSD users.
We will use a roll call format that is similar to the Friday night TeamSpeak
sessions. When we do the roll call everyone is free to talk about whatever
they like. However, please try to cover:
1) Your experience with ubuntu, if any.
2) Your experiences with installing DttSP, DttSP-Shell or the Java GUI.
3) What you feel is the best focus for this group.
After the roll call we will have an open mic discussion. This group is for
every level of experience. Lurkers are welcome.
73,

But, for me, "good enough" means I can run N1MM's logger, or MixW, and
have something, somewhere autoloading DX spots.
I don't expect the Flex test process or official minimums to account for
this added ham-related stuff (down that path lies madness). What I do
expect, from experience, is that even with ample CPU left over, that the
more raw horsepower I have laying about, the better things seem to work
in terms of things like continous audio and the parallel port CW keyer
working better. I don't have scientific measurements here. What I do
have is an observation that horsepower matters, even when the CPU isn't
saturated.
