Jack, I would love to have my Flex controlled over the internet and communicate via my Android. There are YouTube videos where someone controls a flex on their smart phone. I also have seen PowerSDR controlled via a touch screen. Considering that Windows 8 will be released in less than 6 months and that OS is very touch-centric, I would hope that future releases of PowerSDR would be tailored for touch control.

It's truly a thin client - less than a megabyte download. Downloaded and was listening to 20M from an SDR in Alaska a minute later, using my Asus Transformer 10" tablet while walking around the house. Very cool. It presents a "panafall" style display. There is of course noticeable latency across the Internet (especially since my connection is via satellite) but it's not too bad for casual monitoring. Has anyone tried doing something like this with their current Flex 1500/3000/5000? I'd sure like to be able to use this with my Flex-3000 across my house WiFi where latency will be minimal. I'm wondering if it's possible to kludge something together, maybe using the I/Q output (and a little software glue) to have PowerSDR appear (at the PCs Ethernet port) to be one of the Ethernet-based HPSDRs (HPSDR Metis). This is the client/server architecture of the ghpsdr3 project, so all the pieces are there except for the "glue" to connect the Flex. HPSDR used to support the SDR-1000 as one of the hardware options but lists it now as not supported. Not sure why though. Maybe this Flex/HPSDR "glue" already exists? Or is it impossible for some reason? Anybody know? 73, /Jack de K3FIV PS - I know about the Teamviewer and other Windows remote tools. I've tried them but I find that the PowerSDR GUI is really painful to use with a touchscreen. So I'm looking for an app that is designed to be used with a touchscreen, and this glSDR looks like a good start. Plus Android programming might be fun to get into. The question is whether or not my Flex-3000 can be the hardware RF component. _______________________________________________ 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.
