Good analogy, Ray, in reverse- GM now puts the supercharged engine from the $120,000 Corvette ZR1 in a $70,000 Cadillac. I'm hoping that some of that 6700 magic makes it into the 5000. How about a plug-in Arduino chip? Jim KJ2P> From: k9...@rnacs.com > To: tm.st...@verizon.net; flexradio@flex-

Tom, They are not legacy radios. Yes, the 6000-series uses newer technology, but the FLEX-1500, FLEX-3000, & FLEX-5000 are still current production and are likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. As Flex has stated before, each model fills a different niche in the marketplace. GM does

The system clock display is take directly from thePC's clock via an OS function call. Try this. Turn off the PowerSDR displayand see if the clock still has the delays. If the clock is not freezing, then you are most likely CPU bound. If not, check your DPC latency (there is a latency checker
