Thank you, Tim. I am open minded I don't expect the Flex Radio to be perfect. But, I think it's worth striving for. I'm sorry for digging in old wounds this forum has. I've only been following it for a month.
I'm not demanding the raspy audio thing be fixed. I was pointing it out, not knowing its history, as an issue I was having, and thought it was a bug. I don't understand digital signal processing. I'm learning as a layman and someone who has a computer science degree and has engineered other types of computer programs. Nothing as complex as DSP. I mostly look at the Flex Radio from a usability standpoint and enjoy testing it. If I didn't want to deal with bugs I'd run the release version. If the average schmuck of a ham had distorted audio from their $800 Yaesu or Icom they'd mail it back. But, I'm not going to do that. The Flex Radio is cool and does work well 98% of the time. Two points off for the fact I often have to remove power from everything for a few minutes to get it started. Then again: it might not even be the Flex's fault. But from a layman's perspective my computer is running and the radio isn't -- so it's the radios fault! :-) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tim Ellison Sent: Monday, April 26, 2010 8:43 AM To: Ken Danser; [email protected] Subject: Re: [FlexEdge] Raspy audio "Remember it is new technology, especially for those who are used to the old box radios with knobs! So we need to be patience with one another on both side of the fence and try to understand SDRs together." Well said, Ken. And those who do not understand the nuisances of SDRs fully yet need to be open minded, receptive and flexible with their expectations as the realities of this new technology are explored and explained by those who have gained the knowledge over the past few years. It is only a hobby. Have fun. Get on the air and operate! -Tim _______________________________________________ Flexedge mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexedge_flex-radio.biz This is the FlexRadio Systems e-mail Reflector called FlexEdge.
