Well Brian, yours shortened cutout would be quite good ...
...<shortened: but be sure I can keep doing what I am
already doing.>...
But it sound too much conservative to me. I wasn't so conservative, in
my hope at least.
Nonetheless this is the trick, as you already wrote. Have a good and
stable "set of" applications that could be used in several fashions,
this is the right way. Separating engines and presentation modules,
having the same kind of presentation for each human interface and don't
let the whole application die in the several PC SW/HW pitfalls that we
actually face it's quite a must.
Having only an high sped, well an enough high speed, interface will give
us the ability to move the data trough critical connection just one time
and no more. Not like now when we have several of those tricky
communications, half a dozen at least, between the radio (not only
SDR) and any other device inside our common PC platforms. This will
leave space and enrich the realm of application communication, control
and presentation.
By this way integrating the radio software and the application you named
(and some more like WSPR, WSJT) we could have a real change of ours
operating environment to something better than a merely and still wired
integration as it is today.
I hope, not secondarily, that any integration step will also leave free
"sockets" for any newcomer, both as SDR interfaces in the main
application and code samples to use it.
Also, the main SDR application need to have "sockets" to give those new
applications way to inject theirs featured output inside the user
interface. I am thinking not only to audio but to relevant band map data
by example.
Surely I will have to switch applications as today for any digital mode
or operating practices as I do today. But all those applications will
became more performing and responsive at anytime. Leaving us with just
the pleasure to operate and the fatigue to learn how better we could do.
So, now I agree with you and the strategy you depicted Brian.
I know that this wouldn't be an instant switch over but we could survive
and have fun in the between.
Still in the hope that I was readable with my poor English. Poor but not
conservative!
