The connection between the RF hardware and PowerSDR is not at issue because the "radio" is really PowerSDR. It is PowerSDR that is controlling your other programs, not the physical hardware. I don't know what programs you want to use with PowerSDR but they all work the same way regardless of RF hardware. The big question is whether you want to control more than one program from PowerSDR, e.g. digital mode program and a logging program, or you want PowerSDR to be controlled by more than one program. In that case you need to learn about DDutil. I recommend you read the section in the FlexRadioWiki ( http://FlexRadioWiki.com) on Overview of the PowerSDR system with supporting and external programs<http://abrohamnealsw.on-rev.com/index.php?OverviewSDRsys> . Follow that with the sections on Virtual Serial Port Programs<http://abrohamnealsw.on-rev.com/index.php?VspPrograms> and VAC <http://abrohamnealsw.on-rev.com/index.php?VAC>. I think that will answer a lot of questions for you. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682 br...@lloyd.com +1.767.617.1365 (Dominica) +1.931.492.6776 (USA) (+1.931.4.WB6RQN) _______________________________________________ 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/
