[Flexradio] 6000 Series AFSK

Hi. Sorry if this is obvious and/or has been covered before. Since the DSP magic is inside the 6K, unlike the 5K, setting aside the intriguing ideas of the 6K demodding AFSK natively, when the first batch of radios come out, how does one interface to external "sound-card" programs for digital

Neal, you are right about FRS probably being up to their noses with work right now and your suggestion that someone else might draft things is a great idea.

Re: [Flexradio] 6000 Series SOFTWARE Questions

My vote would be for a portable C/C++ library that talks to the radio which can then be used to make native interfaces on all platforms. If the interfaces are published (another vote from me) such a library could be written collaboratively. I am a Mac user and applications written in Java, Q

Nice and functional are two different things. Indeed. I'm not at all convinced that doing the kind of screen-drawing you'd want from the GUI console would be nicely done in Java. The advantage to using WPF and C# is that you "automatically" get hardware acceleration via DirectX when it's av

We looked at Mono. They wanted an astronomical amount of money for it. Now that the SmartSDR GUI clients are "light weight", it probably makes more sense to write them using an IDE native to the OS Tim Ellison On 5/20/2012 10:37 AM, N7BCP wrote: Regarding the question about language used to

Ed, Just a small correction: Apple computers do not 'run well disguised versions of Linux'. Mac OS X (and iOS on the iPhone/iPad) are based on BSD. BSD is another Unix variant. Porting non-graphical software between Linux, BSD and OS X is usually quite easy. Porting graphical applicatio

Re: [Flexradio] 6000 Series SOFTWARE Questions

Greg, It appears that SmartSDR is not a Windows app. It runs in the 6000 not on the PC. There will be a user interface app (SmartSDR-win) that runs on the PC. That app will communicate with the 6000 running SmartSDR over an IP/TCP (Ethernet) network, initially on a LAN but eventually over the Int
