[Flexradio] Windows ME
The specifications page on flex-raioo.com lists Win 2000 and XP as supported operating system. Does anyone know if PowerSDR will/.will not run on Windows ME?Not looking for a statement of formal support, just if it is known if the software can't run on ME, and if so if anyone recalls why it does not run on ME that would be helpful as well.

Re: [Flexradio] COM port keying -
Thanks Mark. OKWhen I short pins 4 and 6 together, or 4 and 8, it keys the radio. but when connected to the keyer, it does not. There is closure on the lines when keying, but there is also ~11ohms and 2.1mV showing on my meter. Should I add some kind of interface to isolate the ground line? Tnx Greg
Re: [Flexradio] Windows ME
A wise old shaman once said Windows bad. Windows ME VERY bad PowerSDR might run on it, but I support a lot of diverse IT environments and Windows ME has so many incompatibilities with so many things and is not very stable. Our standard method of fixing WinME problems is to upgrade to WinXP. It has worked 100% of the time. The little money spent for the upgrade significantly out weighs the pain, frustration and expense of trying to resolve ME driver issues. MS should have never released ME. I would not recommend anything less than Win2000 for any serious computing endeavor. If you can afford it, the Win2003 core is better than Win2K and WinXP for security and code execution. -Tim --- Tim Ellison ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) Integrated Technical Services ( http://www.itsco.com ) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Tracey Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2005 12:16 AM To: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Windows ME The specifications page on flex-raioo.com lists Win 2000 and XP as supported operating system.

[Flexradio] Request for a new forum on eham.net
Forum Master, I am requesting that eham.net add a forum to provide a dedicated informational single point of presence for the emerging interest in the next generation of ham radios, specifically Software Defined Radios (SDRs). A forum name of the same would be most appropriate. There is an emerging, but very technical group of people who are rapidly advancing the maturity of software defined radios. SDRs will become the future of ham radio and provides the radio amateur with a way to experiment with his equipment in a way not available today with rigs from the Big Three due to open source software. Granted, you are experimenting with software rather than circuits in most cases, but with who else's equipment can you design your own AGC system? I know only of one - Software Defined Radios. SDRs are a unique evolution of radio design and should not be generically lumped in to a forum about computers and software as they relate to Amateur Radio. It deserves it own forum. I know for myself, I became very interested in SDRs a few months back and used eham.net as one of the first resources to find information on this subject. A search of the web site lists numerous articles on the subject, but very few hits in the forum section. I believe this is because there isn't a clearly defined forum area for discussions related to SDRs. With the group of hams that is currently supporting SDRs, I feel that you will have a forum that provides a high level of technical information that would rival that of the Elmer's forum in this regard. Since eham.net is premier ham radio web portal, I believe that a lot of hams would benefit from a forum dedicated to this new aspect of ham radio and will become interested due to the exposure given to it by having a dedicated forum on the topic. Thank you for considering my request. 73 de W4TME -Tim --- Tim Ellison mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Integrated Technical Services http://www.itsco.com/ Apex, NC USA 919.674.0044 Ext. 25 / 919.674.0045 (FAX) 919.215.6375 - cell PGP public key available at all public KeyServers
Re: [Flexradio] Windows ME
Hi Bill, I tried installing and running PowerSDR in ME in VMWare. PowerSDR stops at the splash screen Initializing DSP. I would guess that the differences in threading between NT and Win9X is the problem. I am not sure if the pthread code is compatible with Win9x... Looking at the PowerSDR process it appears that the code is blocked on thread start up.

There are various parts of our application that require an NT OS.

[Flexradio] PowerSDR: Importing Database vs. Copying Database File
Through a fiasco today with one of the developers, it has become apparent that we need to address a subtle difference between two similar activities that give very different results. These activities are importing the PowerSDR database (from a previous version, normally) or simply copying the database file from the old directory to the new one. While copying the file will work in most circumstances, using this method will cause problems when we are forced to change the database design (which we have been in v1.4.5 (compared to v1.4.4). Simply copying the database file may keep the new keyer from working or cause crashing with messages about the database. Some neat technology used to dynamically create missing tables may bail you out in some circumstances, but there is no guarantee that this will work. In the familiar words of N4HY, Just say no. Importing the database is the only sure-fire way to make sure that previous settings will be preserved -AND- that necessary database design changes have been made. We try to make this process as simple as possible by making this the first thing that comes up on the startup wizard. If you have trouble importing a database from a previous version, please let me know so I can troubleshoot the issue. Thanks. Eric Wachsmann FlexRadio Systems PS. Similar info will be added to the operating manual.

Re: [Flexradio] PowerSDR: Importing Database vs. Copying Database File
A suggestion -- put the version of PowerSDR in the database. When PowerSDR opens it, he looks at the DB version and if it does not match his version he asks the user if he'd like to migrate it -- or if we get the code right and feel it's a safe operation it auto migrate it under the covers? Just an idea. Cheers, Bill (kd5tfd)
Re: [Flexradio] PowerSDR: Importing Database vs. Copying Database File
I have been beating Eric up about that for two weeks. I am a copier, not an importer. I hate the startup dialog, even as I understand the need for it, so I always copied the db so it finally got me into trouble and I had to import. With a single version tag in the db, this could not occur since it could import rather than read/set. Bob Bill Tracey wrote: A suggestion -- put the version of PowerSDR in the database.
