[Flexradio] Thanks Mack
Hello, Shelly and I would like to take a moment to thank Mack McCormick WB4MAK for taking time out of his busy schedule and going way out his way to help us set up our new Flex 5000 last Friday. Mack's enthusiasm for the hobby and his leadership as the president of the North Fulton Amateur Radio League is the perfect example of what makes our hobby so great. Thanks Mack for first showing us your radio and later being there just as UPS was delivering it. I know there are others who have done similar things and our thanks go out to you as well. I hope we can soon repay the kindness by conducting some Mr. Wizard type classes for your club.

Re: [Flexradio] Book?
Hi Neal, Thanks for the 'prod'. In fact Steve VK6VZ and I have just completed a complete re-write of the SDR chapter for the next edition of the RSGB Handbook which will be published this fall. It's in the same style as the RadCom column and aimed at beginners not mathematicians. We are also writing an SDR Handbook for the RSGB/ARRL (e.g. highest bidder!) that will cover the items that you mentioned. Apart from the fact that we did not want the monthly column to become just an SDR news sheet, after we covered the SDR basics, we stopped the column so we could dedicate more time to the book. One area we lacked experience in was writing the PC code side of the SDR equation, hence I'm spending most of my time at the moment writing a simple SDR console program that will be explained in depth in the book.

For example in the helper sw section on serial ports, the author could explain why serial ports were so widely used and how they have enjoyed a renaissance with the advent of virtual ports. Then discuss the theoretical and practical differences of the various solutions as well as their pros and cons, and cost and ordering info.

[Flexradio] Windows 7...worth the trouble?
I had the Beta version of Windows 7 on a spare HD and started to play around a bit with it but due to all the negative comments about getting the Firewire driver sorted out decided to not spend much time with it. With the soon to be release of the full versions of Win 7 the question becomes is it worth the trouble to switch off of XP ? Pros: It's pretty Seems a bit faster, but not all that much than XP Cons: Firewire seems to be a real mess from reading some of the earlier traffic here. It's not cheap, but Darth Gates and the Empire needs my money...LOL Lastly, I think the 32 and 64 bit versions are now the same cost, and the version that will be for sale will cost the same, or is it Win7 will come on DVD with both versions, confused on that one. Anyone running a 64 bit version of any Windows care to comment on any benefits of running 64 bit OS ver 32 bit, besides being able to break the 3 GB memory limit of 32 bit Windows. _ Get back to school stuff for them and cashback for you. http://www.bing.com/cashback?form=MSHYCBpubl=WLHMTAGcrea=TEXT_MSHYCB_BackToSchool_Cashback_BTSCashback_1x1 ___ 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.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Flexradio] Windows 7...worth the trouble?
Anyone running a 64 bit version of any Windows care to comment on any benefits of running 64 bit OS ver 32 bit, besides being able to break the 3 GB memory limit of 32 bit Windows. Benefit: The 64-bit versions of Windows are slightly faster than the 32-bit versions, even running 32-bit applications. I've been running 64-bit Windows Server 2003 (which is identical to Windows XP 64-bit) on my desktop at work from the day it went RTM, and the OS has been rock solid. Problems: In my experience, a small number of applications SOMEtimes act strangely on 64-bit Windows, and I've never known why. The availability of drivers for older hardware can be a problem. The availability of ANY drivers for 64-bit Windows USED to be a problem, but since the release of Vista all drivers for hardware that receives the Designed For Windows logo *must* be available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

There is the tendency to think in terms of newer is better. The real questions are: 1. Is what I am doing working reliably? 2. Will I gain functionality if I upgrade? I suspect that your answers to 1 and 2 above are yes and no respectively. If that is so then upgrading from XP is a waste of time and money. The operating system is not an application that provides usable new features when there is a new version. It is there simply to provide the environment wherein your other programs, e.g. PowerSDR, can run. Also consider that many of the bugs and security problems in XP have been dealt with. Windows 7 is going to have a whole new set of bugs that will crop up to compromise the system. I have one machine running day in and day out using Windows 2000. This machine runs the Echolink server for our school repeater. There is nothing that XP, Vista, or 7 can provide that will allow the machine to perform this function any better so I see no advantage to upgrade it and the possible disadvantage that I will break it and have to spend time trying to get back to where I am right now. So, until PowerSDR and the other ham radio programs that you are running on your shack computer either require Windows 7 or take advantage of some new feature, stick with what you have. -- 73 de Brian, WB6RQN/J79BPL ___ 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.flex-radio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Flexradio] Windows 7...worth the trouble?
First off, the FLEX Firewire driver is not supported under Win7. While it will work with some Firewire driver tweaking, don't expect any help from FlexRadio support on it until there is a supported version of the Firewire driver available for general consumption. Second, PowerSDR does not use that much memory, so gaining that extra addressable RAM with a 64-bit version provides no benefit. Some 32-bit programs just might not work correctly on Win7 no matter if it is 32 or 64-bit, so beware. There are no new wiz bang features in Win7 that PowerSDR takes advantage of, so again there is no benefit gained. However...The world is moving (being rudely shoved) towards Win7, so loading it on a second disk or disk partition for testing is probably a prudent thing to do if you want to be proactive. -Tim -Original Message- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Steven O'Neal Sent: Sunday, August 02, 2009 4:10 PM To: Flex Subject: [SPAM] [Flexradio] Windows 7...worth the trouble?

The biggest problem right now is that you have to cold-start when the new release comes out so you will wipe out everything you have done with the release candidate.

Re: [Flexradio] Windows 7...worth the trouble?
On our commercial installations we beta tested Vista for almost a year before deciding that there was no economic benefit and significant performance degradation to upgrade to Vista. Like most businesses we stayed with XP Pro and even now pay a $120 premium to Dell to remove Vista and deliver XP. Have beta tested W7. It is definitely Not Ready for installation into a commercial operation. We will wait until W7 SP1 is release before we even seriously consider evaluating it. Frankly I do not see any significant killer enhancements in W7 and I have serious concerns about drivers at this early stage. At this point it would be difficult to justify moving from XP. __ Howard S. White Ph.D. P.
