My Acer Aspire One netbook also has a 1366 x 768 pixel screen. Glad to hear the software runs Ok on the netbooks as that is my plan too.

It has an 11" display (1366 x 768 resolution), dual core i7 processor, build in firewire port, and a reasonable battery life. It seems like it might make a real nice portable SDR package for the folks that want to do this. - Dan, N7VE -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David McKenzie Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2010 5:38 AM To: Clay W7CE Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Flex 1500 on 10 GHz weak signal Hi Paul, I may be interested as well. Thanks for your hard work in this field. Also, I think with the release of the Flex-1500 and the prevalence of netbooks, FRS should look at resizing the PowerSDR display to a minimum of 1024x600 instead of 1024x768. What's 168 pixels among friends?
