Hi, Patrick. XP on a laptop (Dell) is what I use with the SDR-IQ and it was simply plug and play without ANY problems whatsoever....a first for me. If something is to go wrong with a new program, it always does with me. I was most pleasantly surprised to see that this did not happen, and that, despite warnings that the SpectrVue was not user friendly, the program was entirely intuitive and I was up and running within minutes. Gotta like that! LCD....no problem. As Colin stated earlier, it does like a good video card though, which I guess I have with my higher end Dell. Question for the group (those who have the IQ). Has anyone found a good way to use the audio output. I haven't found the stereo output options of any value up to now. I was hoping the Demodulator 1 and 2 would be useful for A/Bing, but it hasn't turned out to be of much use.......Walt. _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
