Well *if* I add the Flex 3k and 5k to the sdr-radio.com console then the whole caboodle will run remotely - client on your PC at home, radio remote at the summer palace. I can do this at the moment with RFSpace SDR receivers and am happy with the initial performance. Simon Brown, HB9DRV

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. 73 Alan NV8A On 03/25/10 09:47 am, Tim Ellison wrote: I

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.
