Andy, As others have said, the answer's no. You list SDR-Radio.com in the list - the CPU use depends on how you will use the software:
* Sample rate, * Number of channels being simultaneously decoded, * Whether you've enabled pseudo-stereo mode, * Display size and number of monitors, * Running PSK / CW / RTTY SuperBrowsers (similar to the CW skimmers). It's not the number of programs, it's how you will use them. Get a decent computer and forget about it :) Simon Brown, HB9DRV http://sdr-radio.com > -----Original Message----- > From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:digitalra...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Andy obrien > > I like to multitask, and I am greedy...
