Hi All I have the Flex-1500 pre-ordered so I am not QRV with a Flex radio yet but I heard a few weak stations in the noise on my TS-570D earlier today before I had to go deal with a partially flooded basement and a backed up drain. I'll keep listening for calls in that frequency.
It's too bad Power SDR is coded in C#. I guess folks running under Linux it are running Mono to get it compiled and running on Ubuntu? I have been running Linux as my main daily OS since 2002 and using it as a desktop user since 1999. If Microsoft ever decides to use some patents and shut Mono down it can. Writing new code so it will compile anywhere seems like a good plan looking towards the future. Windows 7 sounds like Vista service pack 3 and it is still full of the DRM features that contribute to Vista being what it is. openSuSE 11.1 runs great for me. The XP pro install on this two year old computer has about an hour total time on it. I just run Linux all the time. I plan on a dedicated XP machine to run my Flex-1500 and other radios in the near future. Supporting more than one OS is expensive and time intensive so I don't expect Flex Radio to cater to a minority. It would just be nice if other OSes were supported looking towards the future with code that can run anywhere. Hearing a station down in the noise again just now.
