Hi Allan, I forgot to mention, try using WSPR0 ( command line version ), and see the Decode Speed differences there. Bare in mind, it does not use CAT control, send spots and all the fancy things WSPR GUI does, but, it is very light weight. You could easily write a Daemon to send spot information

Hi Alan, I'm not surprised by this at all. Try running some Single Core POV-Ray or MPEG encoding benchmarks and see how it stacks up against, say, an Pentium-M class 1Ghz processor. Make sure you have good cooling though. Arm devices are great for many things, computational tasking is not one of

Hi Alan, Just FYI, if you have installed python-numpy (python2x version), and your building later versions of WSJT (v10+) / WSPR (v4.0+), which use Python3, you should remove python-numpy and only install python3-numpy unless you need it elsewhere. 73's Greg, KI7MT On 12/1/2014 02:55, Alan VK2Z
