Today marks > another milestone in that path of progress as we release > PowerSDR Beta v1.9.1. This version includes all of the > enhancements we have been working on in the SVN SDR-X branch. > A large majority of our customers are already using the open > SVN version but we want to make it now generally available > through website download. > > Here are just a few of the major changes that benefit > SDR-1000 owners as a direct result of FLEX-5000 development: > > - Full Duplex DSP - We now have completely separated the RX > and TX audio and control paths through the DSP. This > immediately impacts T/R transition times and thus > dramatically improves CW performance on the SDR-1000. Huge > kudos to Bob McGwier, N4HY, and Frank Brickle, AB2KT, for > their continued improvements to the DSP. > > - Improved Calibration - Due to work on calibration routines > for the FLEX-5000, we now have faster calibration and the > ability to calibrate per band. > > - Enhanced Digital Mode Experience - Much work has been done > to improve the digital mode experience including work on the > VAC interface, DRM Transmit, and CAT interfacing to various > third party programs (thanks to Bob Tracy, K5KDN). > > - Support of Janus/Ozy combination - Thanks to Bill Tracey, > KD5TFD, we have initial support of the HPSDR Janus/Ozy sound > card for use with the SDR-1000. > > As we collect these 400+ updates from the SDR-X branch, we > will be returning active development to the trunk. This > means that you may see errors updating your SDR-X branch. > You can use the SVN->Switch command with the URL below to > update your folders to pull the new files from the right place. > We will tag the last revision of the "old" trunk before > replacing the trunk with the existing SDR-X branch. > > Binaries Only SVN URL: > svn://206.216.146.154/svn/repos_sdr_windows/PowerSDR/trunk/bin/Release > > As always, we would not be able to do this without the > continued support of our volunteer developers, testers, and > good ideas from the Flexer community. > Keep up the excellent work. We are excited about the > continued potential for improvement in the truly SOFTware > Defined Radio arena. > > Food for thought: Do you know of other radios that received > continued feature and performance improvements after the > radio is no longer produced? > > FLEX-5000 production update: > > The "first article" of the corrected back panel for the > FLEX-5000 was approved this week. The first article of > corrected silk screening will be reviewed on 7/6. We are > still on track to begin shipments on or before 7/25 as stated > in last week's report. > > Our FLEX-5000 Beta testers are making lots of on air contacts > with the new radio.
