Turns out the quality problem decoding/displaying PSK31, where Cocoamodem on the Mac connected via analog was copying much better than MixW connected via VAC, is caused by dropouts in the audio stream. The dropouts are cyclic. Audio is good for about 20 seconds then it stutters for about 5 seconds. The process repeats ad infinitum. CPU utilization is down around 20%. I am using an AMD Athlon 64x2 duo-core processor running at 2GHz with 1GB RAM. This machine *should* be fast enough to run both PowerSDR and MixW concurrently. (It seems so with CPU utilization at 20%.)
Huh. And no-one said anything about the spurs and varying noise level either. -- 73 de Brian, WB6RQN Brian Lloyd - brian HYPHEN wb6rqn AT lloyd DOT com _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
