Was this promised for release in January 2010?

Yes, PowerSDR 2.0 was originally *projected* for January 2010. We made a
decision early this year not to release Power SDR 2.0 to beta until we
completed a number of significant improvements to CW, ALC, AGC, NR, ANF,
etc. as well as the inclusion of the FLEX-1500. That work will be wrapping
up
I do not believe anything related to software or hardware delivery by FlexRadio
was ever promised. There were estimated dates of delivery, but it was only
that; best guess estimates. I do know that FlexRadio wants to release PowerSDR
v2.0 as soon as it is humanly possible and if it could
I would suggest, like you have done here, you make no promise before its time.
To promise January 2010 and not deliver does not help credibility.
So if you think you will have it ready by June, promise for September

Promise may be the wrong word to use but it was clearly expected by January
2010. We are now into almost April and it looks like the summer might be the
best bet.
No one's release of any software ever comes early, few on time but Flex has
been better than most on living up to its predicions. I
A prime example of the problem with announcing a firm release date and
sticking to that even when the product is not ready is Windozzze. WinXP
is now 9 years old, and Micro$$$oft is still releasing fixes for major
security problems.

The name of the product is Windows, no need to insult the most popular software
product in the world. No Windows, no Flex. You could say Flex is five years old
and they are still do not have it perfect NOR SHOULD THEY. Their only
obligation to the buyer was to have it work with the release it
An old supervisor of mine used to demand estimates
on our software projects. We quickly learned
that these estimates became drop-dead dates.
At that point we wound up padding our estimates
with six months, a year, two years. Pretty
soon the estimates were a joke. She left and

PATIENCE is a virtue.
PSDR 2.0 will be released soon enough. Probably before the Hamvention and sale
of the Flex 1500.
Gotta love this FREE software. I would not hesitate to pay a subscription fee
like most require. It will have to come to that someday soon.

No one gets rich making new, free software for radios they've already sold.
I develop computer software. It's hard to do, it takes forever, and
humans are imperfect machines.
Anyone who can accurately estimate how long a software project will
take has either done the exact same thing
To take this a slightly different direction: There will be other
choices. They just are not there yet. Windows does have it's problems
and challenges. There are substantial problems on any software platform
with implementing routines that are very time critical. That is one of
the major
I think it would be OK on most platforms were only your program running;
users then install lots of other 'stuff' and demand that it runs at the same
time, this can cripple a good 'real-time' solution. I've just seen this with
anti-virus software screwing up the performance of another program.
Ham Radio Deluxe has a user cluster. Flex could as well.
But then again if one wants to know exactly who's online, when, and
where.. use an instant messenger or call their cell phone.
This opens an interesting philosophical debate in my mind between the
wired and radio worlds.

I wish I could moderate this statement up Dave. it is +5 insightfull
The Flex-3000 I have is so good it can make me happily run a Microsoft
product on a dedicated machine.
I am happy owing one to the greatest radios in the world.
We have one of the best communities in the world supported by a

Its not a firewire issue. On the computers I test, you can run DPCLat
without installing the firewire card and the latencies will show about the
same as after you put the card in. The only difference in performance is
whether your firewire card is sharing an interrupt with something and
You can also load the latest FLEX Firewire driver without having a FLEX-x000
SDR attached to run the Firewire card chipset compatibility applet to determine
if your 1394a Host Bus controller is going to be compatible with the FLEX
Firewire driver beforehand too.

Hi all,
I think it was mentioned by Gerald on echolink that they were working on new
programming environment where PowerSDR will run on Linux, Mac, and Windows when
compiled for such platform. I am thinking that is either Java, but it sounds
more like RealBasic. Is this information
Hi Lou
I sometimes program in Realbasic butI think that is not what Gerald is
talking about (a program built with a cross-platform language that will run
anywhere). I think he is talking more about an architecture that will allow
programs on any platform to communicate with the radio, instead of
When I'm running Ham Radio Deluxe and DM780 for the digital modes. Using
the newest VAC and Com0Com on Windows 7.
It all works good for awhile and then PowerSDR 1.18.5 comes up with a Setup
Error that says Failed to load resources from resource file. Please check
your Setup.
And then HRD
I'm glad he asked that, as I was pulling out my (oh, wait, I don't have
any anymore) hair, trying to find 2.0 as well, although I could find the
skins. ;)
I was just building up a new computer for the shack with my Quad core
i5-650 on 64bit W7. I have to admit, I can't even drive this thing
VSPManager has signed 64 bit drivers and is free. Find it on the ddutil
page.

VAC 4.10? That does not work very well with PowerSDR. Lots of audio drops.
4.09 works much better.
Also, do you have the problems if you only run PowerSDR? If not, then it is
probably a HRD problem. Divide and conquer. The troubleshooter's mantra.

With Win 7 release version you should not set your firewire driver to Legacy
.. That only seemed to be for Vista and Win 7 beta and RC .
I also recommend VSPmanager for VCOM

There is also another product that seems to work well, and that is
Franson GPS Gate, something I forgot I own a license for. It is mostly
for gps work, but it does have a vcom port to port connection.
I just tested it with Power SDR and HRD and it worked great.
