George,

Core2Duo processors or better is what you want to run. Like Tim said, Wireless drivers and Bluetooth too waste alot of CPU time with overhead and should be disabled when running the radio, also turn off all the power saving utilities and force it to run in High Performance Power Options of Control panel.. Look at the DPCs, you will need to get those as low as you can, preferably under 500us.. A good video card in the laptop is a plus, but will cost $$. Get what you pay for, but expect to pay in $1000 range or better..

For those of you who are using a laptop for the F3K, what are the
attributes of your laptop and are you experiencing an problems with
PowerSdr stopping periodically?  I am using the recommended
sampling/buffer-size as specified in the start-up documentation,
9600/1024.

My laptop is a Dell dual-core system .

PowerSDR will run for a few minutes, then stops.  Clicking the
start/stop button will restart the program.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

George/K2CM
