First off, I want to join the others
in complimenting Eric and crew for a really great release. The following
are my observations so far.
Hardware/software used:
AMD Athlon 2X 64 4400+ (~2.2 Ghz)
with 1 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 6200 graphics
controller
Delta 44
.NET 2.0 and DirectX 9.0c
Win2003 Server
SDR-1000 with RFE and 100 Watt PA
Right after the database import, the
CPU utilization was 75% (normally it is about 8%) and the screen took FOREVER
to paint. Once it was shut down and restarted everything was fine.
When I first start PowerSDR in DirectX / Polyphase FFT mode,
CPU utilization is high for my computer 35%.
Going into STANDBY, the CPU utilization drops to ~20%.
Once I get the System.InvalidOperationException Unhandled
Exception error using the BSR (see below) and hit Continue, CPU utilization
drops to 3% and stays there with out any degradation to the operation of
PowerSDR
The RX / TX display shows the correct readings, but flashes
randomly. It doesnt do this every time the app is started.
No transmit power once you get an System.ArgumentException:
Invalid parameter used - Unhandled Exception error
If Mixw is running when you start PowerSDR in DIGIU mode,
CAT occasionally quits working
If you start Power SDR and key the rig with MOX and then click
MOX again to un key the rig you always get a System.InvalidOperationException:
The object is currently in use elsewhere. Unhandled Exception error.
===
Changing frequency with the Band Stack Registers (BSR) will
at sometime generate an Unhandled Exception:
I get this one the most:
System.InvalidOperationException: The object is currently in
use elsewhere.

I get this one everyone in a while using the BSR.
Mostly when changing modes
