Folks, I just realized that some image files on the Public Download Directory page, although they would render in a browser, could not be saved as image files. This has been corrected. Additionally, clicking the icon in the left-most column of the table now opens the selected file in a

[Flexradio] test drive CPU ussage

Is the CPU usage on the test drive of PowerSDR listening to a way higher than normal use? I am getting 40% cpu usage on my Athlon64 3000+ system. Hmmm... I just ran the program for the 2nd time and now the CPU usage is 100% and no audio. --

Partial foot in mouth. The current 100% cpu usage is due to the defrag program running. Sorry about that. Its very early is my only excuse. The no audio was another foot in mouth issue to silly to give the reason. Lets just say it concerns a yellow button. I have got to learn not to post before

Art : Let me add this. We are tracking down one or more conditions in the serial code. One is an infinite timeout issue and the other is more serious. If anyone gets a blue screen of death and especially if it reports the cause to be vcom.sys, vac***.sys or vac***.dll please do NOT

Art, It might be because CAT stops after a few minutes, depending on the number of CAT signals sent. Try going to CAT on the step up, turning CAT off then on again. If that doesn't do it, then you will have to restart Power Console and HRD both. 73, Chas W1CG At 10:37 AM 3/6/2006,

[Flexradio] pc initialization and ptt

2006-03-06 Thread Bill Nagle
It seems that even if the 12 volt power is turned off to the sdr1000, when the pc is first fired up it pulls the x2 ptt pin low a couple of times, sometimes STAYING low until the sdr software is brought up. This can be a problem depending on what is hanging externally on that circuit. My

This is indeed true. The PC (both Windows and Linux and probably every modern OS these days) checks to see what kind of printer or device you have hooked to your parallel port. There is little we can do to defeat this. Bill Nagle wrote: It seems that even if the 12 volt power is turned

Hello to all, on my new pc I want to run WindowsXP 64Bit with Power-SDR,SDR-1000,Delta44 and USB-interface-cable. Has anyone ever tried this out ? Is there a 64bit driver for the USB-cable available ? I tried it with parallel-cable but this doesn't work here even when I start the system with

I know the Delta 44 has a bets 64-bit driver, but I can't speak for the stability of using it on a 64-bit OS. It loaded on my 32-bit OS with my 64-bit processor and works without any problems. PowerSDR shouldn't be a problem unless Windoze thunking has problems. You'll find the biggest

In Richard's original CW form from way back in the VB days and carried over in early forms here, we definitely had mouse input, and we also had joystick input done by Tracy I think. That answer would be you can if you can write it. Bob Paul Shaffer wrote: References to 1.0.2902.0 for
