[Flexradio] FM Audio

2012-02-29 Thread Jim McLester - W4YXU
I am unable to locate any info on FM audio, such as Pre-emphasis/de-emphasis
level etc.  I accept that it may be due to senior moments etc. but a little
direction would be helpful!

Re: [Flexradio] [FlexEdge] PowerSDR v2.3.5 - Some new feature info

2012-02-26 Thread Jim McLester - W4YXU
I have a few "Nits" to pick.  For sure, these are completely in the "Nit"
category and are mentioned more as suggestion, not as a complaint. 

Before I consider making a few "feecher" requests, I would like to run this
past the crowd to see just how nuts I really am!

1. I use multiple monitors.  I would like to make PSDR come up in FULL
screen mode.  It fits one monitor nicely.  The 16 x 9 or 10 monitor aspect
ratio seems to be the new standard.

2. I like to bring up the Voltage / Temp. display and leave it.  (My shack
is VERY dusty and the &^%$%^  cat sheds - I need a warning on the fan!) A
command line parameter perhaps?

3. Expert mode needs to be "Sticky" or something like that.  Maybe red text,
or just make the warning highly visible. 

4. Mouse wheel ALLWAYS on the frequency even when mouse is elsewhere (until
focus is changed anyway)causes me minor disasters.  Mouse can be focused on
a slider and wheel will move slider one click and then go back to frequency.
It does not seem consistent.  I will re-research this and make list.

5. There are a number of setup values that can only be incremented /
decremented by 5 or 10, a rather mixed blessing here.  DDS offset and
Waterfall background come to mind.

Again, I want to stress these are NOT serious to me.  These are just areas
that would make a GREAT product even better here.
