Yesterday I set the Sample Rate back to 4800 khz, just to see how great the RX filtering can be. It has been a long time since I used the 4800. Wow, there really is a big difference in the RX filter curve. I can even hear a difference between 100hz and 50hz. About a month ago there was a

Sure would be fantastic to have the great filtering but with the nice wide spectrum and very low latency of the 192 or 96 sample rates. Your wish may be closer than you think. There is some work being done on multi-rate DSP (down sampling) and that should give you what you wish for. There

Hi guys I have a beta release of FlexLoader that fixes the current terminal bug but one tester reported some anomalies when running the new beta release at 1920 x 1200 (you probably need a 24 monitor to get this large a window). If you have a computer that can run this resolution in a stable

John -- I think you'll see that a number of these issues either hadn't crept into the Linux version, or else had been addressed previously. Bob has been very good about maintaining the canonical version on CGRAN; I've tried to do the same. A lot of what needs to be done is simply reconciling the

Thank you Lee for bringing up this valuable feature of the Flex and other SDR equipment. Proper use of compression (or clipping) together with equalizers and filters makes high power amplifiers unnecessary in many cases. Try this concept and you'll find that you can manage in DX pileups with much
