Yeah Defiantly time for a newer computer..
IMHO its foolish to try run a $2700 computer based radio, on a
computer that most people have threw out along the curb by now.
Just for comparison
The 2.4ghz came out may of 2003 with 55 million transistors
The core 2 quads came out jan of 2008 with 800 million transistors
which easily run the flex hardware as hard as u can.
The newest intel Core-i7 6 core processors have 1.17 billion
transistors. which is way overkill for anything... lol
A very capable computer can easily be bought or built for less than 1/3
of the cost of the radio.
The computer is the most important part of the radio system here.
The black box that says Flexradio on it just sits there it doesn't do
much of the work at all..

In a way, I am glad to see that many successfully run 2.0.
In another, I find it frustrating... I do not seem to be able to find an
acceptable compromise between acceptable TX/RX switchover, sampling rate
and
audio cracking/popping. If I fix one problem, by adjusting sampling rate
(the higher, the less TX/RX problems), the other becomes worse (audio
artifacts, annoyingly present at 192 kHz even with a CPU usage at around
30-35%). Plus, phantom signal on the panadapter pop up everywhere. All this
with 5K, win xp, p4 2.4.
So, I sadly decided to go back to 1.18, which looks miserable but works
better for me (I am an active DXer much more than a software tweaker). The
funny thing is that I am not able to install firmware version 1.3.0.8. The
self extracting routine advises me of "Error code=1", "not able to find the
folder where the firmware is supposed to be located". I have to sue the
previous version, which is not recommended.
Any suggestion on how to fix this? Thanks a lot in advance.
