Recently, the disk in my 4 year old, prime ham shack computer (AMD
Semperon 3200+, win XPsp3 )
I had the Beta version of Windows 7 on a spare HD and started to play around a
bit with it but due to all the negative comments about getting the Firewire
driver sorted out decided to not spend much time with it.
With the soon to be release of the full versions of Win 7 the question becomes
Anyone running a 64 bit version of any Windows care to comment on any
benefits of running 64 bit OS ver 32 bit, besides being able to break
the 3 GB memory limit of 32 bit Windows.
Benefit:
The 64-bit versions of Windows are slightly faster than the 32-bit
versions, even running 32-bit

Hi Harold,
I can understand your impression from reading the emails, especially
because of the influx of new Flexers because of the 3000.
Its actually that you are hearing a few of the new flexers with

complications of these

bugs show up, but after a bug report is filed on
the Flex-Radio web site, they jump on it and there
is usually a fix in the next beta. I once saw

W... I'm still running an SDR-1000. For ME, the Flex SDR has
changed my whole outlook on operating a radio -- whether it's casual
contesting, casual DXing, or just tuning around the band to see what's
happening, to the point where I can barely stand to operate
If only one could run multiple 5000's on one powerhouse PC. I can't
imagine all the RFI 9 computers would cause to reception.
