Re: [wsjt-devel] Optimum computer for WSJT-X?

I concur with several others; 16GB of RAM is what I consider to be the baseline on any desktop PC I build. While I can't specifically comment on JT65 EME ops, I can say that the current machine I'm running seems to easily handle the mess that is 20m FT8. It's not unusual for there to be

Re: [wsjt-devel] Optimum computer for WSJT-X?

For a general purpose shack computer it makes sense to buy all the horsepower and RAM you can afford. I've tried to run WSJT-X on an underpowered computer in a club shack and it wasn't pretty. Having said that, my shack box is an 8 year old dual core i5 laptop with 16G RAM and terabyte SSD

Re: [wsjt-devel] Optimum computer for WSJT-X?

That proves to be a bit much it seems. Even with a single instance it runs at almost max CPU. If I didn't need a SDR running, maybe that may have worked. Maybe I need to try the Rpi 4. Last three hours for the 6m instance:

Re: [wsjt-devel] Optimum computer for WSJT-X?

For months I've been running a 6m and 2m monitor on RPi 3B+ with 1GB of RAM. It runs two instances of WSJT-X and 2 SDR's based on simple RTL-SDR dongles. CPU utilization stays below 50%. Now that is on FT-8. On JT65 with FTOL at 1000Hz the CPU load is 88% (still two instances JT65 + 1000 + 2

Re: [wsjt-devel] Optimum computer for WSJT-X?

For what it's worth, I can run WSJT-X just fine on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with 1GB of RAM. Cost for Pi = $35. -- Dave Slotter, W3DJS On Fri, Feb 7, 2020 at 3:40 PM wrote: > I’m in the market for a new computer, to be used largely for high-end > WSJT-X

Re: [wsjt-devel] Optimum computer for WSJT-X?

Don't bother with less than 16GB.  4GB is considered absolute minimum for Windows 10 when you aren't doing anything.CPU bound includes memory speed too as does cache matter so faster memory and bigger cache can help considerably. This would be my criteria #1 Minimum memory -- 16GB#2 Minimum disk

[wsjt-devel] Optimum computer for WSJT-X?

I'm in the market for a new computer, to be used largely for high-end WSJT-X applications like maxed-out JT65 decoding on EME. (I'd also like performance headroom to support possible features of future releases, like FT8 diversity reception or even deeper decoding algorithms.) However, I don't
