Hi Folks, more than one year ago I have proposed my graphics to the Flex user group.
My "dream SDR" looking like a "old" japan Radio was a simple provocation to the sw programmes, with a lot of discussions and all stories here: http://www.flex-radio.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1510&highlight=&sid=377eec9a496cad8bdb15b6656357ea19 and here: http://www.flex-radio.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1534&highlight=&sid=377eec9a496cad8bdb15b6656357ea19 The last idea was to propose a more simple work to make a CAT interface using a GUI, for all user do not need the panadapter in normal QSOs, making a very normal radio to play every day with the FULL POWER of the great SDR-1000. This way can be very simple to have: a "simple" code (only serial port control and graphics) running with backgrounded PowerSDR, like others CAT software es. HamRadio Deluxe. The PowerSDR's CAT protocol is full commands set for a total control of SDR-1000, without panadapter of course.........and we can make any radio-style-look we want. Sorry but I'm not a software man, I'm only a designer. The full story here: http://www.flex-radio.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1810&highlight=&sid=377eec9a496cad8bdb15b6656357ea19 A brief personal consideration: I'm the official distributor of Flex's products for Italy, making meetings and presentations to a lot of HAM operators, all of them give me a "cold feedback" to GUI-style of PowerSDR very close to look like a TEST SET, not a RADIO. A lot of them prefer a "traditional knob in hand" and a GUI like proposed by me would make a lot of business..........or no ? An important step in this direction will be available like described in the last TO DO LIST by Gerald & friends, separating the RADIO from the GUI but.....how many time/work again ? Folks, please look at the "enormous" world of the VST plug-in for audio applications, look at the incredible graphics of these software........why ? 73 Beppe IK3VIG _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com
