[Flexradio] Vista 64 Firewire Drivers

2008-11-21 Thread pastormg
Ignacio, according to a phone call I had yesterday with Flex they told me that Power SDR will work fine with Vista 64 bit. It's just the Firewire Drivers that is the problem. And that's because it is an unsigned driver. Mark KB3Z ___ FlexRadio

I was thinking of putting in this 'Feature Request' and wanted to see if there is some issue I might be missing first. Or if someone has a better way. I do a LOT of cw DXing, usually the DX station is operating split. Most of the time the split isn't that wide, 3 to 6 kc or even less. So if

Its not that we cannot test the program, I have. When you start up Vista, you press F8 at boot time to go to the boot menu and select the option that says to ignore unsigned drivers. This allows you to boot up Vista x64 with the Flex driver. On my machine, you can use PowerSDR for a random amount

So Neal in a nutshell it will work if you can get Vista 64 to accept the drivers if you can keep windows 64 from evicting it. I just wonder when one updates Vista via Microsoft whether that reinstates the evicting part of the progam. Mark KB3Z ___

I can't resist any longer and have to pull out the Ye Old' Soapbox The root cause of the issues revolving around this driver issue are not with the functionality of the FlexRadio FLEX-5000 Firewire 64-bit driver itself. It is only confined to 64-bit Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008

I bought an Astron RS-70M linear supply to use with my 5000a, but I'm wondering if a lower weight and amperage switching supply would be as or more suitable? Any comments and suggestions greatly appreciated. 73... Jon W1MNK ___ FlexRadio Systems

I'm using an Astron SS-30M with mine, and it works just fine. No RFI that I can detect, and that's comparing the receive when running on battery power vs the SS-30M. 73, Jim --- On Fri, 11/21/08, Jon Maguire [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Jon Maguire [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Flexradio]

I personally despise switching power supplies. True, they can pack more power in a smaller space. But if space isn't an issue, why bother with a switching supply? They are next to impossible to repair, and can be noise generators if not properly designed. The Astron linear power supply is a
