[Flexradio] ReName PowerSDR to Anything Else
PowerSDR works for me. Changing it because of some individual sensitivity to advertising hype I think is both arbitrary and silly. 73 W9OY __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [Flexradio] ReName PowerSDR to Anything Else
Real Problems? I don't have any Real Problems I get on every day and make as many contacts as I want. I run the radio on CW, SSB, digital modes, and as a an IF for my VHF transverters. I run high power and low power. I get good reports on my signal's quality. I have no problems. I have a lot of fun. There are enhancements that are added to my experience (like the second receiver) that I surely enjoy, and occasionally the alpha code has something broken, but that is the nature of alpha code. It is not a problem. In fact I am amazed at how well the alpha code works, and how rapidly it is fixed when it does break. Part of that is the fact that every piece of alpha code is so rapidly and thoroughly tested by the user base and the responsiveness of the software engineers to the feedback. I think it is a model of collaboration and community, which I call a solution and not a problem. I have an Orion which has had one update in a year and a half, that is what I consider a problem. 73 W9OY __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I don't think he meant 'problems' as in defects or bugs... I think he mean 'problems' as in interesting challenges. 73 Phil N8VB On 10/3/06, Lee A Crocker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Real Problems?

[Flexradio] ReName PowerSDR to Anything Else
I've been a commercial purchaser of software for over 30 years and I've developed an aversion to words like: Power, Super, Deluxe, Extreme, Plus, Perfect when used in the title or description of a software product. They make me look for pretentious advertising. Software is soft, it has no power of its own it just controls machines. Maybe adding words like User Version or Developer Version can make since but not Power User Version. In my humble opinion I can suggest that when they get to version 2.0.1 renaming it SDR-Control V 2.0.1 may be less offensive. The radio system is so completely Superior to all radios in its price range and still far better than most in any price range that nothing about its descriptions should use otherwise pretentious descriptors. They detract from the most serious development in RF communications since SSB. Just my humble opinion. Jerry -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Pretty please there are enough real problems to attack without creating imaginary ones.
