I tried to tell my fellow Flexers this a few days ago - I was told in February at the Orlando Hamcation by one of the senior Flex staff (name withheld) that support for a waterfall in SmartSDR was not in their long term plan. It resulted in me getting jumped on by the Flex-huggers when I informed them. AFAIAC No waterfall display = deal breaker The waterfall display in PSDR gives far too much information and usability to consider moving to a GUI that does not have one. Maybe PSDR has spoilt us with this fantastic feature, but there is no going backwards for me.
If the decision is changed, and a waterfall and other fine features of PSDR are added to SmartSDR, then I would be interested in a 6000 series radio (If I haven't already committed myself to another radio). I have no doubt the new hardware will perform remarkably well, but the software has a long way to go yet. 73 John ZS5J On 22 May 2013, at 1:19 PM, Randy Pence <kd4...@gmail.com> wrote: > I was told by Greg Jurrens it will not.
