Each ATA disk had a small PCboard connected with a firewire in- and out- connector. I do not know if the 5000 will have an in- and an out- connector, but bandwidth will sure be a problem if devices are daisy chained. Can use multiple ports on the PC however. I hope the software makes that possible.(processing power is less an issue) 73 groeten Peter petervn(a)hetnet.nl <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ; pa0pvn(a)hetnet.nl <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ; pa0pvn(a)gmail.com ; pa0pvn(a)amsat.org . ________________________________ Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] namens Skip K3CC Verzonden: za 14-4-2007 22:28 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: [Flexradio] 2 radios Tnx very much Lee for your info. I run PropNet from here with PSK controlling 2 radios . Each has a separate soundcard and software in a separate directory. Both radio have access to the internet for reporting Catches. At the same time I have both an Orion and Ft 1000MP/mkV control using Logic 8. Logic 8 will control up to 6 radios at one time. DX Cluster can be switched to any radio. My computer has 10 comports, USB , Firewire and network into the internet. My idea is the same as yours. I would like to use one SDR for a dedicated HF radio and the other for digital and transverters. I guess I should do some reading on Firewire. I was under the impression that Firewire was similar to USB allowing multi connects. I also read the info incorrectly about the new radio. I thought it would be available with/without the soundcard. I have another computer which will go online this week. Another is in the works as the price drops on Intel dual core CPU's and Asus mother boards. Tnx agn de Skip K3CC _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
