Jerry, It is not that easy to give you a range or starting number because the serial numbers are, well... not actually serial. The SDR-1000 S/N is more of a mfg lot ID and sequence number. If this was applicable to all SDR-1000, the ECO would have had a made before date as the criteria for apply

[Flexradio] SDR-1000 CW Contest Performance

2007-02-19 Thread Charles J Fontenot
I'm happy to report that the SDR-1000 does truly merit respect as a CW contest radio. This past weekend I spent a couple of hours on 40 meters in the ARRL CW DX contest to determine if the SDR would be able to "slice and dice" through the typical contest bedlam. As I predicted, using the FA-66

I can speak favorably for the Byterunner PCI LPT card. It just plain works. The one thing you have to watch out for is that you will need to get the LPT Address from the device manager when using such an external card. See the troubleshooting section in the operation manual for details. Eric Wa

Jim, Two questions. Why are you assuming a DSP buffer size of 512 with a sample rate of 48Ks/s? Some of us are using a DSP buffer size of 4096 whether we are sampling at 48Ks/s or 96Ks/s. I think that size buffer will affect CW performance only when going from TX to RX, which is going to be
