e effect as
increasing buffer size. You will get the same filter performance if you cut
sample rate in half and cut DSP buffer size in half too. If you are looking
for the ultimate in filter performance, set sample rate to 48kHz and then
set DSP RX buffer size to 4096 samples.
Does this help?
er
settings and the sample rate. The transfer buffer sizes used by the firewire
driver and VAC have no effect on filter performance as they are just used to
determine how much gets transferred from the firewire driver to PowerSDR or
from PowerSDR to the digital mode program in a single operation.

If thinking of using Bluetooth be sure to consider that this is a
short-range device. The unit I am using has a free-air range of about 15m.
If there are any walls in the way that range is reduced. I would not bet on

the USB-to-Serial that controls the PACTOR controller, the
problem went away.
So extra USB connections is not just a Flex PowerSDR problem, it can be a
general Windows problem too.

It should work. Certainly the secondary PTT input to the F1500 is cleaner
looking but the dual-serial-port hack shouldn't be difficult to cobble
together and should be pretty darned robust. And it will let you run your

Flex did something like that. But it sure isn't standard.
What would you do if you were using a Yaecomwood?

And I agree, Gig-E is preferred over either USB or Firewire.
the same time on my Mac over the firewire interface.
But that does point out an orthogonal issue: Apple seems to know how to make
IEEE1394 work better than Microsoft does. It sure would be nice if PSDR or
something like it ran on MacOS. (Wink wink, nudge nudge.)

st and both work with the
radios. It doesn't help a lot to try to second guess or try to castigate
anyone for the decisions that were made. They look like reasonable decisions
to me and I don't see where USB or IEEE1394 makes that big a difference at
this point.

y is an
emitter, especially when it is in the near-field pattern for the antenna
(such as my operation in Dominica). The computer itself is a source you just
can't eliminate.
OTOH, I have found that wrapping the display completely in aluminum foil
makes all noise sources disappear.

back and forth in beautiful synchronicity.
And then there is the charge controller for the PV/battery system. That one
makes sharp spectral lines as does the power supply in the ethernet switch.
We live in a noisy world.
