I found the use of the term clinical a good description of the control
panel of Power SDR. This user likes the clean look and prefers it to a
cheesy attempt to create a 3 dimensional look on a 2 dimensional screen.
Webster defines clinical as:

Jim, while I prefer the classic look of PowerSDR,
I can certainly understand and respect the appeal

of Pretty Betty. Deep Impact is the beginning of
even more flexibility in the user interface.

At least we can all agree to disagree. While I don't agree with Jim, I
appreciate and value his opinion on this issue, because different opinions
lead to better products. This thread clearly shows the difference of opinion
that pervades the users of the Flex family of radios, and highlights the
Well, I guess I will give my opinion. The Pretty Betty is fine as long as
the basic skin used in 1.18.3 is included as one of the options along with
the PB skins.
The only dislike of the Pretty Betty are the few skins that have the shadows
but you don't have to use one of those skins since you

I agree with Tim 100%. I too want to thanks everyone at Flex and all the
developers for their work on this wonderful radio and software. (Wish I was
smart enough to program). I don't know about the rest of you, but I am so
thankful to live in a land that allows this!
Hope everyone is enjoying

I would like the ability to move each control to any place on the screen. To

..and that was simply my question as well. If you'd been around in the 1.16.x days and the migration of the code base from the SDR-1000 to the 5000A you might understand where I'm coming from. C.W. in many respects ceased to operate in any real sense. Allot of people both internally and 3rd party

I can assure you if it was ready today, Eric would package it up and ship it

Hi Tim!
There is no lack of respect for you or any of the Flex team. In fact, I can
be heard daily singing the praises of this outstanding piece of gear. My
enthusiasm has helped dozens of operators make the decision to move to Flex.
My QRZ page and eHam review both speak well of the Flex.

I know Tim has said that this discussion does not belong on this
reflector, and I think he is right. Nevertheless, I have to point out
here that the idea that one *needs* a water-cooled quad-core machine is
ridiculous. I'm running Pretty Betty - PAL on a 4-yr-old dual-core
machine (2 x 2GHz

Spot on!
The FLEX radios (and all digital radios following this architecture) are
indeed, nothing more then confuser peripherals. So, how do we find out how the
current, supported DSP software works its magic with the digitized low IF that
comes into the computer?

I installed PB and was instantly pleased that it had progressed somewhat.
Interesting discussion.
To expect an SDR system designed using windows development software not to look

interested in
squashing bugs and improving the performance of this fantastic family of

Couldn't agree with you more, John.
Before I built my Micro-ATX PC to dedicate to my 5000A, I was using a several
year old HP Vectra. Single-core 2.4GHz P4, 1.5 GB of memory, and it never broke
a sweat.
I think I paid $150 for it on eBay.
