Larry, What I'm using for development is Visual Studio 2003 Professional. I've seen statements that the cheapest version (student, eductational, what have you) you can find will work. There's also an open source kit mentioned on N8VB's site, but I don't believe it's got a C compiler which

IMO, your best bet is to get a copy of Visual Studio 2003. If you can get the academic version, get it. It is the same as the Professional version. The Academic version runs around $100. If you are interested in making changes to the console only, then Visual C# Standard will do what you need.

I agree with Phil and Bill, Visual Studio 2003 is the best way to go. You will get everything you need in one package. Be advised, there is a significant learning curve to .NET but it is worth it in the end. Bob K5KDN -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Joe, I agree with you completely about the location of the VFO Lock button. It really needs to be incorporated near the actual VFO. However, despite my many attempts, I was unable to get it in or near the VFO boxes without either obscuring some part of the frequency/step readout or preventing

[Flexradio] Hot-key mapping request

2005-06-16 Thread Dale Boresz
The Shuttle Pro2 is proving to be a great addition to the SDR-1000, and I'd sure like to be able to quickly switch between Panadapter and Spectrum display modes using the SP2's buttons. Could hot-key control of the display modes be placed on the list of future mappings? 73, Dale WA8SRA

Eric, For my purposes, cycling through the modes would be just about as time-consuming as clicking on the dropdown list box and selecting the desired mode. My goal is to be able to change instantly from a specific display mode to another specific mode with one click. It'd be different if we

I think that you shouldn't spend a huge amount of time trying to make a typewriter keyboard and a mouse into a radio control panel with hot-keys, switching modes, etc. Neither is inherently well suited to most radio control functions, except perhaps clicking on a signal in a spectrum display,
