The FLEX-1500 is a USB 1.1 device so you would be OK. Is the PC by chance a laptop?

Did some testing and apparently my PC has only one USB hub or only one that is available to me. No matter where I hook up the 1500 or the keyboard in my available front and rear panel USB ports, they both always come up on "Hub 0" There is a device that says it is "mass storage" showing hooked up to "Hub 1" but I have no idea what it is or how to access "Hub 1". I have no USB drives or anything of that nature unless it's the SD card reader ports or the "HP pocket media drive bay" on the front panel of the computer. I think I have an old USB PCI card lying around here somewhere but I'd bet anything it's USB 1.1 if I could even lay hands on it. 73, Michael On 2/10/2011 1:17 PM, Tim Ellison wrote: > Unless you have a "soft" USB controller that seem to crop up in some of the > new "I" versions of Intel processors, the only thing of real concern with > USB is to make sure you do not have a low speed polling device (keyboard/ > mouse) or a very high bandwidth USB device like a Wireless card or hard drive > connected to the same USB controller as the FLEX-1500. > > You want to look at this KB article > http://kc.flexradio.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50459.aspx > > If you do have one of the "soft" USB controllers, then there are some > enhancements in the upcoming beta version of PowerSDR that help mitigate the > controller issues. > > > -Tim > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Tondee > Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2011 12:44 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Flexradio] 1500 on the way today...USB concerns? > > I'm waiting on my 1500 to be delivered today.
