There is no magic way to determine the list of COM ports configured on your system. Registry information is optional; the *only* sure way to determine the available COM ports without disrupting any running software is to use GetDefaultCommConfig() for COM1 to COM255. If GetDefaultCommConfig() re

Let me add that it is pretty hard to beat these things as a receive system in combination with the SDR-1000. Steve uses high livel mixers with good IP3's. I like the 0 dB gain models and then I put what NF and gain I want in front of it depending on my application. After you add enough gain

Mark, It is my understanding that on 6m, the output is automatically 1W since the PA is not used at those frequencies. The software knows now to bias the PA and deselects any output filters from what I remember. Eric Wachsmann FlexRadio Systems > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTE

Hello Cecil, We specify on our website that a preselector is REQUIRED for good operation below 160m. We do NOT provide individual filters below 160m. The SDR-1000 is designed for best performance on the HF bands. It can perform well on MW if you put preselection in front of the radio and we hav

There's also a VC# way to do it, in .NET 2.0 (one reason to start looking at .NET 2.0 is that it supports real multithreaded apps (as opposed to "apartments") and things like serial ports have a much better interface. System.IO.Ports namespace has a class called SerialPort http://msdn2.microso
