Hank -
One of the things I have noticed with the 1500 --- when I see birdies on on the panadapter on a given band, if I increase the preamp gain a step they go down into the noise. I gave on the acer aspire one netbook and got a Toshiba "crossover" (sized betweeen a netbook and notebook) with a lot more processor speed. I'm not sure I would have noticed the noise problem I describe without the panadapter display. I will try to play around with my power sources here and see if I can do something about the noise. 73 - Mike WA8BXN _______________________________________________ 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://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
