I'm using an old HP Vectra 420 with a 2.8GHz P-4, and 1.5GB of 400MHz memory, and it runs the radio just fine. Even while doing some other minor things, like having Acrobat Reader open to read the manual, it runs just fine. I don't recall ever seeing the PowerSDR CPU usage going over 40%, and that

Well, I've finally had some serious time to spend with my 5000 since it came back. I'm stunned at how *good* it receives! I've had, and still own, some pretty good radios, Ft-1000MP Mk-V, TS-950SDX, and a loaded K2, and this rig is just so different, I really can't compare it to a regular radio.

[Flexradio] 5000A Dead Receiver

Oh, boy... I don't know if it's something *I* did, or if my 5-hour old 5000A just rolled over and died. I was listening around, and called a weak station, and didn't get a reply, so I wrote it off to his being weak, and my vertical not having enough gain. During the course of tuning up with

Yep, a Socket 939 Opteron can really scream if you set it up properly. I had to upgrade my video editing system for a new capture card, and since I was on a 939 motherboard, my options were somewhat limited. I wound up buying an Opteron 185, and it works wonderfully. When I finally get my Flex

APC sells a power supply for laptops that runs on 12 Volts. I have one for my HP ZV5460, and it works perfectly. Saves me from lugging an inverter to power the AC supply when I'm mobile. http://www.apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=320 73, Jim KQ6EA --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can anyone
